 The primary contribution of this paper is presenting a new online scaling factor selection method which has the following characteristics :
 \begin{enumerate}
-\item Based on Rauber's analytical model to predict the energy consumption and the execution time of the application with different frequency gears. 
+\item Based on Rauber and Rünger analytical model to predict the energy consumption and the execution time of the application with different frequency gears. 
 \item Selects the frequency scaling factor for simultaneously optimizing energy reduction and maintaining performance.
 \item Well adapted to distributed architectures because it takes into account the communication time.
 \item Well adapted to distributed applications with imbalanced tasks.
