This article proposes a design and implementation of a low cost two-tier architecture model for high availability cluster combined with load-balancing and shared storage technology to achieve desired scale of three-tier architecture for…
Most recommender systems (RS) research assumes that a user's utility can be maximized independently of the utility of the other agents (e.g., other users, content providers). In realistic settings, this is often not true---the dynamics of…
Exchange of services and resources in, or over, networks is attracting nowadays renewed interest. However, despite the broad applicability and the extensive study of such models, e.g., in the context of P2P networks, many fundamental…
A service provisioning system is examined, where a number of servers are used to offer different types of services to paying customers. A customer is charged for the execution of a stream of jobs; the number of jobs in the stream and the…
The evolution of 5G and Beyond networks has enabled new applications with stringent end-to-end latency requirements, but providing reliable low-latency service with high throughput over public wireless networks is still a significant…
This paper highlights humans' social and mobility behaviors' role in the continuous engineering of sustainable socio-technical systems. Our approach relates the humans' characteristics and intentions with the system's goals, and models such…
Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are component-based architectures, characterized by reusability, modularization and composition, usually offered by HTTP (web services) and often equipped with a Quality of Services (QoS) measure. In…
For a cloud service provider, delivering optimal system performance while fulfilling Quality of Service (QoS) obligations is critical for maintaining a viably profitable business. This goal is often hard to attain given the irregular nature…
This paper addresses the problem of ranking Content Providers for Content Recommendation System. Content Providers are the sources of news and other types of content, such as lifestyle, travel, gardening. We propose a framework that…
Popularly used to distribute a variety of multimedia content items in today Internet, HTTP-based web content delivery still suffers from various content delivery failures. Hindered by the expensive deployment cost, the conventional CDN can…
Web Services (WS) have become one the most used technologies nowadays in software systems. Among the challenges when integrating WS in a given system, requirements-driven selection occupies a prominent place. A comprehensive selection…
Blockchain has attracted a broad range of interests from start-ups, enterprises and governments to build next generation applications in a decentralized manner. Similar to cloud platforms, a single blockchain-based system may need to serve…
In cognitive radio (CR) networks, the perceived reduction of application layer quality of service (QoS), such as multimedia distortion, by secondary users may impede the success of CR technologies. Most previous work in CR networks ignores…
The rapid development of cloud-native architecture has promoted the widespread application of container technology, but the optimization problems in container scheduling and resource management still face many challenges. This paper…
Coordination in distributed environments, like Grids, involves selecting the most appropriate services, resources or compositions to carry out the planned activities. Such functionalities appear at various levels of the infrastructure and…
Networks connecting distributed cloud services through multiple data centers are called cloud networks. These types of networks play a crucial role in cloud computing and a holistic performance evaluation is essential before planning a…
In-network caching is recognized as an effective solution to offload content servers and the network. A cache service provider (SP) always has incentives to better utilize its cache resources by taking into account diverse roles that…
Network management on multi-tenant container-based data centers has critical impact on performance. Tenants encapsulate applications in containers abstracting away details on hosting infrastructures, and entrust data centers management…
We propose a novel service-oriented architecture for drone-based multi-package delivery in a skyway network. The proposed architecture provides a high-level design for deploying a skyway network in a city for the effective provisioning of…
Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) creates a vast ecosystem of intelligent objects interconnected via the Internet, allowing them to exchange information and to interact. This paradigm has been extended to a new concept, called the Web…
