Network latency in mobile software has a large impact on user experience, with potentially severe economic consequences. Prefetching and caching have been shown effective in reducing the latencies in browser-based systems. However, those…
The car-sharing problem, proposed by Luo, Erlebach and Xu in 2018, mainly focuses on an online model in which there are two locations: 0 and 1, and $k$ total cars. Each request which specifies its pick-up time and pick-up location (among 0…
The cache plays a key role in determining the performance of applications, no matter for sequential or concurrent programs on homogeneous and heterogeneous architecture. Fixing cache misses requires to understand the origin and the type of…
We consider the secure coded caching problem proposed by Ravindrakumar et. al where no user can obtain information about files other than the one requested. We first propose three new schemes for the three cases of cache size $M=1$, $N=2$…
This paper studies a problem of jointly optimizing two important operations in mobile edge computing without knowing future requests, namely service caching, which determines which services to be hosted at the edge, and service routing,…
We study the inherent space requirements of shared storage algorithms in asynchronous fault-prone systems. Previous works use codes to achieve a better storage cost than the well-known replication approach. However, a closer look reveals…
Consider a user who wishes to store a file in multiple servers such that at least t servers are needed to reconstruct the file, and z colluding servers cannot learn any information about the file. Unlike traditional secret-sharing models,…
The multiaccess coded caching (MACC) system, as formulated by Hachem {\it et al.}, consists of a central server with a library of $N$ files, connected to $K$ cache-less users via an error-free shared link, and $K$ cache nodes, each equipped…
We consider a basic cache network, in which a single server is connected to multiple users via a shared bottleneck link. The server has a database of files (content). Each user has an isolated memory that can be used to cache content in a…
Coded Caching is a promising solution to reduce the peak traffic in broadcast networks by prefetching the popular content close to end users and using coded transmissions. One of the chief issues of most coded caching schemes in literature…
We consider caching in cellular networks in which each base station is equipped with a cache that can store a limited number of files. The popularity of the files is known and the goal is to place files in the caches such that the…
In this paper we study online caching problems where predictions of future requests, e.g., provided by a machine learning model, are available. Typical online optimistic policies are based on the Follow-The-Regularized-Leader algorithm and…
Many recent caching systems aim to improve miss ratios, but there is no good sense among practitioners of how much further miss ratios can be improved. In other words, should the systems community continue working on this problem?…
The growth of real-time content streaming over the Internet has resulted in the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) approaches for scalable content delivery. In such P2P streaming systems, each peer maintains a playout buffer of content chunks which…
Caches in Content-Centric Networks (CCN) are increasingly adopting flash memory based storage. The current flash cache technology stores all files with the largest possible expiry date, i.e. the files are written in the memory so that they…
In an $\alpha$-way set-associative cache, the cache is partitioned into disjoint sets of size $\alpha$, and each item can only be cached in one set, typically selected via a hash function. Set-associative caches are widely used and have…
The design of effective online caching policies is an increasingly important problem for content distribution networks, online social networks and edge computing services, among other areas. This paper proposes a new algorithmic toolbox for…
Several real-time delay-sensitive applications pose varying degrees of freshness demands on the requested content. The performance of cache replacement policies that are agnostic to these demands is likely to be sub-optimal. Motivated by…
We initiate the study of a natural and practically relevant new variant of online caching where the to-be-cached items can have dependencies. We assume that the universe is a tree T and items are tree nodes; we require that if a node v is…
We study the well-known coded caching problem in an online learning framework, wherein requests arrive sequentially, and an online policy can update the cache contents based on the history of requests seen thus far. We introduce a caching…
