This paper discusses our experience in building SPIRE, an autonomic system for service provision. The architecture consists of a set of hosted Web Services subject to QoS constraints, and a certain number of servers used to run…
Federated learning has received fast-growing interests from academia and industry to tackle the challenges of data hungriness and privacy in machine learning. A federated learning system can be viewed as a large-scale distributed system…
The rapidly changing workload of service-based systems can easily cause under-/over-utilization on the component services, which can consequently affect the overall Quality of Service (QoS), such as latency. Self-adaptive services…
Compositional automata learning is attracting attention as an analysis technique for complex black-box systems. It exploits a target system's internal compositional structure to reduce complexity. In this paper, we identify system…
Pattern plays a vital role in software architecture and it is a general reusable solution to commonly occurring problem. Software architecture of a system is the set of structures needed to reason about the system, which comprise software…
Distributed Machine Learning refers to the practice of training a model on multiple computers or devices that can be called nodes. Additionally, serverless computing is a new paradigm for cloud computing that uses functions as a…
We formulate a general mathematical framework for self-tuning network control architecture design. This problem involves jointly adapting the locations of active sensors and actuators in the network and the feedback control policy to all…
Complex systems of systems (SoS) are characterized by multiple interconnected subsystems. Typically, each subsystem is designed and analyzed using methodologies and formalisms that are specific to the particular subsystem model of…
Pervasive services may be defined as services that are available "to any client (anytime, anywhere)". Here we focus on the software and network infrastructure required to support pervasive contextual services operating over a wide area. One…
User interfaces that adapt their characteristics to those of the user are referred to as adaptive interfaces. We propose Adaptive Agent Oriented Software Architecture (AAOSA) as a new way of designing adaptive interfaces. AAOSA is a new…
This paper presents an approach to dynamic component composition that facilitates creating new composed components using existing ones at runtime and without any code generation. The dynamic abilities are supported by extended type notion…
Automatic network management strategies have become paramount for meeting the needs of innovative real-time and data-intensive applications, such as in the Internet of Things. However, meeting the ever-growing and fluctuating demands for…
To characterize the structure, dynamics and operational state of the Internet it requires distributed measurements. Although in the last decades several systems capable to do this have been created, the easy access of these infrastructures…
Unified Modeling Language (UML) is widely used for modeling IT systems but lacks formal rules to ensure consistency across diagrams. This often leads to inconsistencies when shared elements are interpreted differently. To address this,…
The semantic information regulates the expressiveness of a web service. State-of-the-art approaches in web services research have used the semantics of a web service for different purposes, mainly for service discovery, composition,…
We propose a general framework for solving inverse self-assembly problems, i.e. designing interactions between elementary units such that they assemble spontaneously into a predetermined structure. Our approach uses patchy particles as…
Web Services provide interoperable mechanisms for describing, locating and invoking services over the Internet; composition further enables to build complex services out of simpler ones for complex B2B applications. While current studies on…
A new approach to software design based on an agent-oriented architecture is presented. Unlike current research, we consider software to be designed and implemented with this methodology in mind. In this approach agents are considered…
Current Serverless abstractions (e.g., FaaS) poorly support non-functional requirements (e.g., QoS and constraints), are provider-dependent, and are incompatible with other cloud abstractions (e.g., databases). As a result, application…
In-situ parallel workflows couple multiple component applications, such as simulation and analysis, via streaming data transfer. in order to avoid data exchange via shared file systems. Such workflows are challenging to configure for…
