With the emergence of portable and wireless devices and with the thermal problems
originatig from high-power processors we are facing a rising awareness for the topic
of dynamic energy management.
The interface between the hardware, whose energy consumption should be controlled,
and the application software, which consumes energy implicitly by activating hardware
components, is the operating system.
Because of the operating system's role as a mediator, it is predistined for any kind
of resource accounting. This includes the aspect of energy as an indispensible
first class resource.
