  Abstract

The importance of low-power embedded system is being increased. The studies on low-power system have been performed in issues of hardware architecture and operating system. However because the behaviors of software control the working of hardware devices, the power analysis of software is one of critical issues in energy-efficient embedded system development. This paper proposes a technique to extract tasks from software design models with considering power consumption. We first define the criteria for task extraction, and then propose the way to separate out the task from UML 2.0 design models. Our technique can provide the chance to reduce the power consumption as well as to fulfill the performance requirement in the early phase of software development.
