New Software Metrics for Evaluation and Comparison of Advanced Power Management Systems
This work addresses the need for domain-specific evaluation tools in power management, but it is incremental as it adapts existing software metrics rather than introducing a new paradigm.
The paper tackles the problem of evaluating power management systems by presenting a set of software metrics tailored to their unique characteristics, such as autonomy and scalability, to enable better comparison and application across implementations.
A set of software metrics for the evaluation of power management systems (PMSs) is presented. Such systems for managing power need to be autonomous, scalable, low in complexity, and comprised of portable algorithms in order to be well applied across the varying implementations that utilize power systems. Although similar metrics exist for software in general, their definitions do not readily lend themselves to the unique characteristics of power management systems or systems of similar architecture.
