Abstract
Mobile systems primarily processing multimedia data are ex­
pected to become a dominant computing platform for a variety
of application domains. The design of such systems imposes
several new challenges, as it must consider demanding, dy­
namic, and multidimensional resource requirements and con­
straints, with energy becoming a first­class resource. At the
same time, the ability of multimedia applications to trade off
output quality for system resources and the difference between
their peak and average demands offers a huge opportunity for
optimization.
