Overview of Currentcy-based Policies

In our model, currentcy represents available global system resources. Currentcy allocation and accounting express and enforce policies to achieve energy-related goals. Next, we outline the various ways in which currentcy can be manipulated to implement a particular policy. The design space is rich, making an exhaustive exploration that fully utilizes all the mechanisms infeasible. However, Section 3.2 discusses several goals we want to achieve within the policy space. Section 3.3 introduces the applications and metrics used to evaluate our ability to achieve our goals.
