In this paper we describe a solution based on multi-fidelity computation supported by predictive resource management. We show that such an approach can substantially reduce both the mean and the variance of response time. On a benchmark representative of augmented reality, we demonstrate a 60% reduction in mean latency and a 30% reduction in the coefficient of variation. We also show that a history-based approach to demand prediction is the key to this performance improvement: by applying simple machine learning techniques to logs of measured resource demand, we are able to accurately model resource demand as a function of fidelity.}, publisher = {USENIX}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/predictive-resource-management-for-wearable-computing/}, edition = {Proceedings of the the 1st International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (MobiSys '03)}, }
