ABSTRACT
Mobile devices have become pervasive in today's society. The range of their use has been constantly increasing, which requires more computing capability. As the computing capability of mobile devices grow, so does the need for effective power management. There has been some work on reducing the power consumption of mobile applications by detecting energy bugs. In this work, we address no-sleep energy bugs with respect to semaphore wakelocks in consideration of race conditions with synchronization using reaching definitions and parallel flow graphs. We demonstrate the approach through a case example.

Detecting and diagnosing energy issues for mobile applications
ISSTA 2020: Proceedings of the 29th ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and AnalysisEnergy efficiency is an important criterion to judge the quality of mobile apps, but one third of our randomly sampled apps suffer from energy issues that can quickly drain battery power. To understand these issues, we conducted an empirical study on 27 ...
Energy efficient watermarking on mobile devices using proxy-based partitioning
Digital watermarking embeds an imperceptible signature or watermark in a digital file containing audio, image, text, or video data. The watermark can be used to authenticate the data file and for tamper detection. It is particularly valuable in the use ...
