Abstract
Based on normally-off computing design methodology, we developed three practical systems that introduced normally-off computing. These systems are healthcare, mobile information device and sensor node for social infrastructure. These systems are selected from different types of application areas. Through implementing a variety of systems, universalness of normally-off computing is confirmed. Also we introduce our “Normally-Off Computing Project”, which supports these practical developments.
