Mobile
and cloud computing is a popular computing model in modern systems.
Users can obtain high performance, access large storage, and scalable
service in data centers through a mobile device, like a smart phone. In
mobile cloud computing, power management is critical for both clients
and servers sides. This course covers the basics of mobile cloud
computing model, system power consumption, and the latest development
at power reduction techniques for both clients and servers.
