The ease of deployment of battery-powered and mobile systems is pushing the network edge far from powered infrastructures. A primary challenge in building untethered systems is offering powerful aggregation points and gateways between heterogeneous end-points---a role traditionally played by powered servers. Microservers are battery-powered in-network nodes that play a number of roles: processing data fromclients, aggregating data, providing responses to queries, and actingas a network gateway. Providing QoS guarantees for theseservices can be extremely energy intensive. Since increasedenergy consumption translates to a shorter lifetime, there is a need for a new way to provide these QoS guarantees at minimal energy consumption.
