ABSTRACT
This paper presents a middleware framework to coordinate
adaptation of multimedia applications and their underlying
hardware resource in mobile devices, so that multimedia
applications are able to provide user­preferable QoS requirements
under resource contention and energy constraints. The major
contributions of the framework are: (1) energy­aware processor
reservation for multimedia applications, (2) formal models of
hardware adaptability, application adaptability, and user
preference, and (3) an integrated algorithm to coordinate
adaptation of multimedia applications and hardware resource.
