eGEN: An Energy-saving Modeling Language and Code Generator for Location-sensing of Mobile Apps
Developing battery-aware location-based applications is a non-trivial task for developers given the limited tool support for energy-saving strategies during the design phase of smartphone applications. To this end, we propose \textbf{e}GEN, consisting of (1) Domain-specific Modeling Language (DSML) and (2) a Code Generator to specify and create native battery-aware location-based mobile apps. We evaluated \textbf{e}GEN by instrumenting the generated battery-aware code in five location-based open-source Android applications and compared the energy consumption with non-\textbf{e}GEN versions. The experimental results show 188 mA (8.34% of battery per hour) of average reduction in battery consumption while showing only 97 meters degradation in location accuracy over 3 kilometers of a cycling path. Hence, we see this tool as a first step to helping developers write battery-aware code in location-based applications. The GitHub repository with source code and all artifacts is available at https://github.com/Kowndinya2000/egen and the tool demo video at https://youtu.be/PV9FWjeM6bc.
