TITLE:  Energy efficient job scheduling

ABSTRACT:
Energy efficiency is an important concern for mobile devices. A major method 
to reduce energy usage is to adjust the speed of processor, because the 
processor consumes less energy when running at slower speed. Yet, the 
processor needs to provide certain performance guarantee, say meeting the 
deadlines of all incoming jobs or maximizing the total throughput. In this 
talk, we will discuss algorithms to determine the processor speed, which 
provide the required performance and are also competitive on energy usage
