DESCRIPTION:Chris Gniady\nAbstract:\nImproving energy efficiency is critic
 al since future users will demand mobile devices with even longer battery 
 life or higher performance and stationary systems that are cost effective 
 to operate even when energy costs increase. The challenge that efficient e
 nergy management faces is matching the power state of the system resources
  to the application or user demand. The goal is to reduce energy consumpti
 on by keeping the device in the low-power state when not used\, but at the
  same time provide high response when the demand for the device arrives. C
 urrent solutions are either not transparent and require programmer involve
 ment\, or are less effective in reducing energy consumption and can expose
  significant delays to the application and the user. The goal of the propo
 sed work is to design a fully autonomous and unified system that will tran
 sparently examine and adapt to application demands of interactive applicat
 ions in the current and future systems. This goal is achieved through high
 ly detailed user and application behavior monitoring in the operating syst
 em. Capturing and understanding such user and application behavior is crit
 ical in meeting user demand for high performance while saving energy. The 
 interaction based energy management had been successfully applied to  disk
 \, network interface\, and CPU management.\n \nBiography:\nChris Gniady is
  an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Unive
 rsity of Arizona. His research interests include energy management of port
 able and stationary computer systems\, performance optimizations at hardwa
 re and software levels\, and novel applications of ultra portable devises 
 in healthcare.\n\nHe received Ph.D. in 2005 and B.S. in 1997 in Electrical
  and Computer Engineering from Purdue University. \n\nChris Gniady's homep
