The advent of Edge Computing (EC) as a promising paradigm that provides multiple computation and analytics capabilities close to data sources opens new pathways for novel applications. Nonetheless, the limited computational capabilities of…
Traditionally, agent and web service are two separate research areas. We figure that, through agent communication, agent is suitable to coordinate web services. However, there exist agent communication problems due to the lack of uniform,…
We describe a pricing structure for the provision of IT services that ensures trust without requiring repeated interactions between service providers and users. It does so by offering a pricing structure that elicits truthful reporting of…
Quality of Service (QoS) is an important metric to measure the performance of network services. Nowadays, it is widely used in mobile edge environments to evaluate the quality of service when mobile devices request services from edge…
Web Service Composition creates new composite Web Services from existing Web Services which embodies the added values of Web Service technology and is a key technology to solve cross-organizational business process integrations. We do a…
Business models of network service providers are undergoing an evolving transformation fueled by vertical customer demands and technological advances such as 5G, Software Defined Networking~(SDN), and Network Function Virtualization~(NFV).…
Given the on-demand nature of cloud computing, managing cloud-based services requires accurate modeling for the correlation between their Quality of Service (QoS) and cloud configurations/resources. The resulted models need to cope with the…
In a dynamic heterogeneous environment, such as pervasive and ubiquitous computing, context-aware adaptation is a key concept to meet the varying requirements of different users. Connectivity is an important context source that can be…
The Internet is integral to modern life, influencing communication, business, and lifestyles globally. As dependence on Internet services grows, the demand for high-quality service delivery increases. Service providers must maintain high…
We introduce the Web-Enabled Simulation (WES) research agenda, and describe FACEBOOK's WW system. We describe the application of WW to reliability, integrity and privacy at FACEBOOK , where it is used to simulate social media interactions…
Traffic and channel-data rate combined with the stream oriented methodology can provide a scheme for offering optimized and guaranteed QoS. In this work a stream oriented modeled scheme is proposed based on each node's self-scheduling…
Modern applications increasingly span across cloud, fog, and edge environments, demanding orchestration systems that can adapt to diverse deployment contexts while meeting Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. Standard Kubernetes…
We propose a novel Quality of Experience (QoE)-aware framework to crowdsource IoT energy services efficiently. The proposed framework leverages the provisioning of energy services as an auxiliary to increase consumers' satisfaction. A novel…
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are highly distributed networks consisting of a large number of tiny, low-cost, light-weight wireless nodes deployed to monitor an environment or a system. Each node in a WSN consists of three subsystems: the…
This article investigates the basic design principles for a new Wireless Network Operating System (WNOS), a radically different approach to software-defined networking (SDN) for infrastructure-less wireless networks. Departing from…
We propose algorithms for cloud radio access networks that not only provide heterogeneous quality of-service (QoS) for rate- and, importantly, delay-sensitive applications, but also jointly optimize the frequency reuse pattern. Importantly,…
Our objective is to provide guaranteed packet delivery service in time constrained sensor networks. The wireless network is a highly variable environment, where available link bandwidth may vary with network load. Since multimedia…
Robotic on-orbit servicing (OOS) is expected to be a key technology and concept for future sustainable space exploration. This paper develops a semi-analytical model for OOS systems analysis, responding to the growing needs and ongoing…
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…
