The Priority Inheritance Protocol (PIP) is arguably the best-known protocol for resource sharing under real-time constraints. Its importance in modern applications is undisputed. Nevertheless, because jobs may be blocked under PIP for a…
Computing systems form the backbone of many areas in our society, from manufacturing to traffic control, healthcare, and financial systems. When software plays a vital role in the design, construction, and operation, these systems are…
In this paper, we tackle the open problem of snap-stabilization in message-passing systems. Snap-stabilization is a nice approach to design protocols that withstand transient faults. Compared to the well-known self-stabilizing approach,…
Growing code bases of modern applications have led to a steady increase in the number of vulnerabilities. Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) is one promising mitigation that is more and more widely deployed and prevents numerous exploits. CFI…
We study the scheduling polices for asymptotically optimal delay in queueing systems with switching overhead. Such systems consist of a single server that serves multiple queues, and some capacity is lost whenever the server switches to…
In a large-scale computing cluster, the job completions can be substantially delayed due to two sources of variability, namely, variability in the job size and that in the machine service capacity. To tackle this issue, existing works have…
In light of continued advances in loop scheduling, this work revisits the OpenMP loop scheduling by outlining the current state of the art in loop scheduling and presenting evidence that the existing OpenMP schedules are insufficient for…
Due to the presence of buffers in the inner network nodes, each congestion event leads to buffer queueing and thus to an increasing end-to-end delay. In the case of delay sensitive applications, a large delay might not be acceptable and a…
The TCP congestion control protocol serves as the cornerstone of reliable internet communication. However, as new applications require more specific guarantees regarding data rate and delay, network management must adapt. Thus, service…

We study the problem of finding efficient sampling policies in an edge-based feedback system, where sensor samples are offloaded to a back-end server that processes them and generates feedback to a user. Sampling the system at maximum…
Many hardware structures in today's high-performance out-of-order processors do not scale in an efficient way. To address this, different solutions have been proposed that build execution schedules in an energy-efficient manner. Issue time…
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling tasks with different criticality levels in the presence of I/O requests. In mixed-criticality scheduling, higher criticality tasks are given precedence over those of lower criticality when it…
For the multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink channel, the users feedback their channel state information (CSI) to help the base station (BS) schedule users and improve the system sum rate. However, this incurs a large…
There exists a plethora of consensus protocols in literature. The reason is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, since every protocol is unique and its performance is directly tied to the deployment settings and workload…
Congestion game is a widely used model for modern networked applications. A central issue in such applications is that the selfish behavior of the participants may result in resource overloading and negative externalities for the system…
