Title
On energy impact of web user interface approaches.
Abstract
Developers base selection of a User Interface (UI) development approach on functionality, development and maintenance costs, usability, responsiveness, etc. User expectations continue to grow for greater functionality and continuous interactivity, extending demands on computational resources. To facility scale, recent approaches push more UI computation to clients. Such client-side delegation of functionality increase, continuous usage, and localized computation create ever-growing energy demands, which may negatively impact battery life on mobile platforms. Nonetheless, developers given little attention to the power demands aspects of UI framework selection. We evaluate the impact of contemporary UI framework selection on resource utilization and energy consumption. We suggest an alternative delivery approach designed to preserve low energy demands on clients while still allowing offloading of computation from server to client. Our work focuses on web-based mobile applications; however, we believe our approach to energy demand reduction and framework evaluation to be generally applicable.
