	abstract = {Pervasive applications and in particular Wireless Sensors Networks have very strict requirements in terms of power consumption. It is well known that radio activity is very expensive in terms of energy; we show here that intensive processing activities (as security) represent a major contribution to power budget. In this paper we extend our methodology for analyzing the impact of Security related operations on power consumption and optimizing it. The analysis is based on experimental data and was validated with measurements on a real platform.},

	abstract = {802.15.4 is a recent low-rate/low-power standard for wireless personal area and sensor networks. Its simple infrastructure, intermediate range and good power performance make it a candidate for applications that require a reasonably low throughput but a very high device lifetime and power efficiency. An experimental power analysis of an 802.15.4 implementation is carried out, providing a detailed power model of the protocol based on concurrent state machines; resulting power model is then used to generate a customized simulator. The model has been validated through a set of experiments and provides good accuracy; results are discussed, considering in particular use of the model as a basis for subsequent optimizations on 802.15.4 networks.},
