There is a growing interest in developing embedded systems that consume low energy in such application areas as mobile communications or wireless sensor networks. To especially provide the complex and diverse functions of embedded software with limited energy consumption, many studies of low-energy software are being performed. The existing studies to analyze energy consumption of embedded software have mainly focused on source code. However, some studies recently explored model-based energy consumption analysis to fulfill the requirement of energy consumption in the early phase of software development process. This paper proposes a model-based energy consumption analysis framework to develop an energy-efficient design model of embedded software. The proposed framework can analyze energy consumption without building an additional analysis model in software development and provide the chance to fulfill the energy consumption requirements in the early phase of the software development process, which can reduce the feedback efforts.
