are expected from energy consumption-aware software. This article emphasizes the importance of energy transparency from hardware to software as a foundation for energyaware system design. Energy transparency enables a deeper understanding of how algorithms and coding impact on the energy consumption of a

The properties of transparent plaster covering transparent insulation materials (TIM) were investigated using a whole building simulation program (ESP-r). The outer plaster was made from glass balls of different diameter, glued together with synthetic resin. The transmittance of the whole

and the resulting heat generation be controlled precisely without the need for expensive hardware. Experiments on a Pentium 4 architecture show that energy and temperature are accurately determined and thermal limits for the individual CPU and the whole distributed system will not be exceeded. Use cases

The UK Energy Research Centre is the focal point for UK research on sustainable energy. It takes a whole systems approach to energy research, drawing on engineering, economics and the physical, environmental and social sciences. The Centre's role is to promote cohesion within the overall UK

. For the energy computation, the whole complex is represented as a system of nodes and springs. Topologically, the principal complex is a product of one-dimensional continuums (represented by graphs), and the grammars describe how these continuums transform during the process of optimal complex construction

Programming Wireless Networks of Embedded Systems (WNES) is notoriously difficult and tedious. To simplify WNES programming, we propose Declarative Resource Naming (DRN) to program WNES as a whole (i.e., macroprogramming) instead of several networked entities. DRN allows programmers

of TinyOS – the current state of the art in sensor node operating systems – are still limited to full image replacement. TinyOS based applications have a modular architecture but during compilation this modularity is lost resulting in a statically linked system image. In this work we extend Tiny

in the backend server’s memory by data specific distribution. This policy provides the required efficiency. We then implement an optimum on-ff power policy on top of this locality-based distribution, to achieve considerable energy conservation. The whole system is made to work under a standard set of memory

This paper provides a case study of how a board game can be modified to generate a serious game. We argue that board games are an interesting medium for serious games, especially when the goal is to teach players about particularly complex systems. In that case, the transparency of a board game
