Abstract:
Software components are one reusable asset which can contain other kinds of software assets like requirement specifications, design patterns, source codes, documents, and so on. It can be used for designing software architecture or implementing a software system as an element like a building block. Therefore, software can be developed easily and quickly by assembling those building blocks. Focused on this nature of component-based development, energy-efficient software development can also be achieved with reusable software components. In particular, low-energy software has become a critical component for embedded and mobile software systems. Therefore, we have to consider energy efficiency to develop embedded software when developing the software based on reusable components. This paper, firstly, proposes how to represent the energy characteristics of the components and how to select a component for energy-efficient software development. We developed a component repository, ECoReS to support the selection of low-energy software components.
