As the shortcomings of our current Internet become more and more obvious, researchers have started creating alternative approaches for the Internet of the future. Their design goals are mainly content-orientation, security, support for…
Blockchains and distributed ledger technology offer promising capabilities for supporting collaborative business processes across organizations. Typically, approaches in this field fall into two categories: either executing the entire…
Under several emerging application scenarios, such as in smart cities, operational monitoring of large infrastructure, wearable assistance, and Internet of Things, continuous data streams must be processed under very short delays. Several…
Sharing provenance across workflow management systems automatically is not currently possible, but the value of such a capability is high since it could greatly reduce the amount of duplicated workflows, accelerate the discovery of new…
Computer systems have evolved over the years starting from sizable, single-user, slow, and expensive machines to multi-user, fast, cheaper, and small-sized machines. The use of multi-user computer networks has given rise to a new paradigm…
This paper describes a vision and work in progress to elevate network resources and data transfer management to the same level as compute and storage in the context of services access, scheduling, life cycle management, and orchestration.…
This paper presents a case for exploiting the synergy of dedicated and opportunistic network resources in a distributed hosting platform for data stream processing applications. Our previous studies have demonstrated the benefits of…
We study the problem of monitoring distributed systems where computers communicate using message passing and share an almost synchronized clock. This is a realistic scenario for networks where the speed of the monitoring is sufficiently…
Decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges offer compelling security benefits over centralized exchanges: users control their funds and avoid the risk of an exchange hack or malicious operator. However, because user assets are fully accessible…
We talk of the internet as digital infrastructure; but we leave the building of rails and roads to the quasi-monopolistic platform providers. Decentralised architectures provide a number of advantages: They are potentially more inclusive…
Modern distributed data management systems face a new challenge: how can autonomous, mutually-distrusting parties cooperate safely and effectively? Addressing this challenge brings up questions familiar from classical distributed systems:…
The Web is a ubiquitous economic, educational, and collaborative space. However, it also serves as a haven for personal information harvesting. Existing decentralised Web-based ecosystems, such as Solid, aim to combat personal data…
We present here a cost effective framework for a robust scalable and distributed job processing system that adapts to the dynamic computing needs easily with efficient load balancing for heterogeneous systems. The design is such that each…
Distributed intrustion detection systems detect attacks on computer systems by analyzing data aggregated from distributed sources. The distributed nature of the data sources allows patterns in the data to be seen that might not be…
Security is one of the major concerns of modern communication systems. Users demand a secure communication environment that provides privacy to the people while they are sharing messages to anyone. Privacy is a prime concern nowadays. This…
A typical user interacts with many digital services nowadays, providing these services with their data. As of now, the management of privacy preferences is service-centric: Users must manage their privacy preferences according to the rules…
Background: Security tools play a vital role in enabling developers to build secure software. However, it can be quite challenging to introduce and fully leverage security tools without affecting the speed or frequency of deployments in the…
Attacks on information systems followed by intrusions may cause large revenue losses. The prevention of both is not always possible by just considering information from isolated sources of the network. A global view of the whole system is…
In this early draft, we present an end-to-end decentralized protocol for the secure and privacy preserving workflow of vaccination, vaccination status verification, and adverse reactions or symptoms reporting. The proposed system improves…
Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that relies on computational resources of end devices in a network to bring benefits such as low bandwidth utilization, responsiveness, scalability and privacy preservation. Applications…
