....client. However, those improvements will translate to an even smaller and lighter thin client. For a mobile user, a client can never be too small, too light or have too much battery life A wide range of feasible designs has been demonstrated. At one extreme are ultra thin clients such as Infopad [6, 40] and SLIM [33] These bare bones devices are little more than highresolution displays connected through high bandwidth wireless links to nearby compute servers. At the other extreme are fullfunction clients capable of standalone or disconnected operation. Examples include the Navigator family of ....

....pressure to make mobile computers lighter and more compact places severe restrictions on battery capacity. At the same time, mobile software continues to grow in complexity, hence increasing energy demand. Reconciling these opposing concerns by exploiting remote infrastructure is possible [2], but uses energy for wireless communication. Energy aware adaptation introduces flexibility into this overconstrained solution space. Rather than making static tradeoffs in hardware and software design, we defer these tradeoffs. At runtime, more accurate knowledge of energy supply and demand ....
