Energy Efficient Task Scheduling Algorithms for controlling room temperature in Cyber Physical Systems

Abstract: The massive growth of energy consumption by buildings and release of huge amount of carbon footprints by resources such as air conditioners motivated to develop eco friendly solutions for room temperature monitoring. As a result task scheduling has drawn attention in which limited resources can be efficiently utilized to consume less energy. In this paper, we compare different scheduling policies in terms of energy efficiency for room temperature monitoring. Finally a solution is provided to efficiently reduce the energy consumption.
