Our approach is centred on analyzing the behaviour of the applications more than the resources itself. We think that the resources are better managed if the needs of the applications are known in advance (application-aware computing). So, this approach focuses on the definition of a behaviour-modelling policy (in XML). We also discuss a framework we are designing where these policies would be applied. The purpose of the framework is to provide inexperienced developers with easy mechanisms to include mobile specific issues in their applications}, author = {Lago, Ana B. and Larizgoitia, Iker and Trueba, Roberto}, month = nov, year = {2006}, keywords = {XML-based policies, application-aware, mobile apps, power management} }']
