SUMMARY
The ENOFES project focuses on designing energy-aware embedded control (EAEC) systems. Specifically, the project aims to address three particular challenges: to balance energy consumption with desired functionality and other quality factors; to develop control software capable for adapting to a changing context; to design a flexible, generic control software.
The project will evaluate its end-product through in-field testing with industry partners in accordance with a three-step utilisation plan.

SOLUTIONS
-
Providing suitable software engineering methods that consider energy consumption reduction concerns explicitly, from requirement engineering to architecture design, implementation and validation
-
Designing the control system to adopt optimal strategies for establishing desired trade-offs between energy reduction and relevant quality factors
-
Producing an embedded control system which can dynamically adapt to its usage context according to the operating conditions
-
Developing a generic, reusable and adaptable software to support a large variety of systems
-
Implementing a three-step utilisation plan:
-
Communicating project results to industry partner OceĢ Technologies for evaluation and refinement through simulation models
-
Performing three different experimental case studies and thereby improve the solutions iteratively based on the experiment results
-
Offering the project results to a larger community in the form of open software, tools, methods, architectural styles, pattern catalogues and scientific publications
-
