With the increasing importance of sustainability, warehouse sharing arises as a possible way to improve the efficiency of the existing logistics system. This paper studied the warehouse sharing platform systems (WSPS) and investigated its…
We consider a wireless distributed computing system, in which multiple mobile users, connected wirelessly through an access point, collaborate to perform a computation task. In particular, users communicate with each other via the access…
In the standard Mechanism Design framework, agents' messages are gathered at a central point and allocation/tax functions are calculated in a centralized manner, i.e., as functions of all network agents' messages. This requirement may cause…
A distributed data collection algorithm to accurately store and forward information obtained by wireless sensor networks is proposed. The proposed algorithm does not depend on the sensor network topology, routing tables, or geographic…
We study embedding table placement for distributed recommender systems, which aims to partition and place the tables on multiple hardware devices (e.g., GPUs) to balance the computation and communication costs. Although prior work has…
The large-scale integration of renewable generation directly affects the reliability of power grids. We investigate the problem of power balancing in a general renewable-integrated power grid with storage and flexible loads. We consider a…
Allocation of (redundant) file chunks throughout a distributed storage system affects important performance metrics such as the probability of file recovery, data download time, or the service rate of the system under a given data access…
In an $(n,k,d)$ rack-aware storage model, the system consists of $n$ nodes uniformly distributed across $\bar{n}$ successive racks, such that each rack contains $u$ nodes of equal capacity and the reconstructive degree satisfies…
There has recently been considerable interest in design of low-complexity, myopic, distributed and stable scheduling policies for constrained queueing network models that arise in the context of emerging communication networks. Here, we…
Modeled after the hierarchical control architecture of power transmission systems, a layering of primary, secondary, and tertiary control has become the standard operation paradigm for islanded microgrids. Despite this superficial…
With the widespread use of shared-nothing clusters of servers, there has been a proliferation of distributed object stores that offer high availability, reliability and enhanced performance for MapReduce-style workloads. However, relational…
One of the most important parts of cloud computing is storage devices, and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) systems are well known and frequently used storage devices. With the increasing production of data in cloud environments,…
We consider a network inventory system motivated by one-way, on-demand vehicle sharing services. Under uncertain and correlated network demand, the service operator periodically repositions vehicles to match a fixed supply with spatial…
We consider the use of distributed storage (DS) to reduce the communication cost of content delivery in wireless networks. Content is stored (cached) in a number of mobile devices using an erasure correcting code. Users retrieve content…
The integration of intermittent and volatile renewable energy resources requires increased flexibility in the operation of the electric grid. Storage, broadly speaking, provides the flexibility of shifting energy over time; network, on the…
The Internet stack is not a complete description of the resources and services needed to implement distributed applications, as it only accounts for communication services and the protocols that are defined to deliver them. This paper…
With the advent of the modern mobile traffic, e.g., online gaming, augmented reality delivery and etc., a novel bidirectional computation task model where the input data of each task consists of two parts, one generated at the mobile device…
This paper proposes a framework for improving the operational efficiency of automated storage systems under uncertainty. It considers a 2D grid-based storage for uniform-sized loads (e.g., containers, pallets, or totes), which are moved by…
Distributed configuration management is imperative for wireless infrastructureless networks where each node adjusts locally its physical and logical configuration through information exchange with neighbors. Two issues remain open. The…
A novel distributed computing model called "Multi-access Distributed Computing (MADC)" was recently introduced in http://www.arXiv:2206.12851. In this paper, we represent MADC models via 2-layered bipartite graphs called Map-Reduce Graphs…
