Variations within the hardware or induced by the software complicate the prediction of the energy consumption. Additionally, batteries are vulnerable to temperature and non-linear effects. To reach certain lifetime goals under these influences without sacrificing energy due to pessimistic estimations, online energy management is necessary. In this paper, we present policies to control the behavior of applications and devices using energy budgets. First experiments yield promising results, with nodes reaching their lifetime goals while maintaining a high application quality.}, language = {en} } @misc{SieberNolte, author = {Sieber, Andr{\´e} and Nolte, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Online device-level energy accounting for wireless sensor nodes}, series = {Wireless Sensor Networks, Proceedings of the 10th European conference on Wireless Sensor Networks, Ghent, Belgien, 2013}, journal = {Wireless Sensor Networks, Proceedings of the 10th European conference on Wireless Sensor Networks, Ghent, Belgien, 2013}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin [u.a]}, isbn = {978-3-642-36672-7}, pages = {149 -- 164}, abstract = {Energy is the crucial factor for the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. Nonlinear battery effects and nonuniform workload distribution can lead to early node failures. This makes it necessary to manage energy consumption. But to manage energy it is essential to know how much energy is spent by the system. Additionally, for a more fine-grained management it is necessary, to know where the energy is spent. This can be a complicated task, since nodes are not identical due to device variations and the consumption can change over time. In this paper we present an online energy accounting approach which focuses on simplicity instead on fine granularity and timing accuracy. We argue that the efficacy of an energy accounting model depends more on the input consumption data than on exact timing, especially when the real consumption varies between nodes and in time. Results show that this approach is capable of correctly accounting the energy that nodes spend in scenarios with deviating environment conditions.}, language = {en} } @misc{SieberNolte, author = {Sieber, Andr{\´e} and Nolte, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Datasheet vs. Real World: A Look on Sensor Node Energy Consumption}, series = {2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom), Besancon, France, 20 - 23 November 2012}, journal = {2012 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom), Besancon, France, 20 - 23 November 2012}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, isbn = {978-1-4673-5146-1}, pages = {641 -- 643}, abstract = {Energy and run time are mayor concerns in wireless sensor networks.

Two reaction pathways were observed to proceed at the same time. The first one is a solid state reaction between Si and Cu or CuCl that leads to a massive nucleation of Cu3Si exactly at the interfacial contacts between CuCl and Si. This study shows how the presence of the Cu3Si phase can be clearly identified and distinguished from areas simply covered with copper by means of Raman microscopic measurements. The second reaction pathway identified proceeds via a short-range gas phase transport of CuCl at low temperatures. The immediate reaction of the transported CuCl to the Si surface causes the massive spread of Cu in the close neighborhood around the CuCl source particles, however, without a nucleation of Cu3Si. The nucleation of Cu3Si precipitates and the short-range transport of CuCl have a tremendous impact on the underlying Si matrix. Tensile- and compressive-strained Si are generated in the immediate vicinity of the precipitates and at their interface to the surrounding silicon. Indications of high-pressure modifications of Si were found. Those areas of the Si surface which are affected by the short-range transport of CuCl and covered with low concentrations of copper exhibit a significant tensile strain. As recently shown, tensile and compressive strain in Si have a significant impact on the reactivity of Si. It might be assumed that Cu3Si-induced lattice strain in Si affects the reactivity of Si in the Direct Reactions in a similar matter.}, language = {en} }
