Artifact for Software-Based Energy Consumption Assessment of Android Applications: A Survey

To ensure availability and reproducibility, we have made all study artifacts publicly available for "Survey on Software-Based Energy Consumption Assessment of Android Applications". In this study, we review state-of-the-art software-based energy profilers tailored for Android applications and propose a novel taxonomy for comparative analysis. We provide a brief overview of these energy profilers and compare their features. Based on the conducted literature review, we present conceptual architectures of the different types of software-based energy profilers to help build a tool that addresses the existing limitations in energy profiling.

This repository contains the following files:
