Traditional machine-learned ranking systems for web search are often trained to capture stationary relevance of documents to queries, which has limited ability to track non-stationary user intention in a timely manner. In recency search,…
Increasing need for large-scale data analytics in a number of application domains has led to a dramatic rise in the number of distributed data management systems, both parallel relational databases, and systems that support alternative…
Soft real-time applications require timely delivery of messages conforming to the soft real-time constraints. Satisfying such requirements is a complex task both due to the volatile nature of distributed environments, as well as due to…
We study the effect of memory on synchronization of identical chaotic systems driven by common external noises. Our examples show that while in general synchronization transition becomes more difficult to meet when memory range increases,…
Event management in sensor networks is a multidisciplinary field involving several steps across the processing chain. In this paper, we discuss the major steps that should be performed in real- or near real-time event handling including…
Increasing data volumes in scientific experiments necessitate the use of high-performance computing (HPC) resources for data analysis. In many scientific fields, the data generated from scientific instruments and supercomputer simulations…
Downtime of industrial assets such as wind turbines and medical imaging devices comes at a sharp cost. To avoid such downtime costs, companies seek to initiate maintenance just before failure. Unfortunately, this is challenging for the…
Fog computing becomes a promising technology to process user's requests near the proximity of users to reduce response time for latency-sensitive requests. Despite its advantages, the properties such as resource heterogeneity and…
With distributed computing and mobile applications, synchronizing diverging replicas of data structures is a more and more common problem. We use algebraic methods to reason about filesystem operations, and introduce a simplified definition…
Resource provisioning plays a pivotal role in determining the right amount of infrastructure resource to run applications and target the global decarbonization goal. A significant portion of production clusters is now dedicated to…
Computer networks have become a critical infrastructure. In fact, networks should not only meet strict requirements in terms of correctness, availability, and performance, but they should also be very flexible and support fast updates,…
Matrix is a new message-oriented data synchronization middleware, used as a federated platform for near real-time decentralized applications. It features a novel approach for inter-server communication based on synchronizing message history…
In this paper, we introduce an approach for application-aware resource block scheduling of elastic and inelastic adaptive real-time traffic in fourth generation Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. The users are assigned to resource blocks. A…
Relational databases play a central role in many information systems. Their schema contains structural (e.g. tables and columns) and behavioral (e.g. stored procedures or views) entity descriptions. Then, just like for ``normal'' software,…
Managing the transactions in real time distributed computing system is not easy, as it has heterogeneously networked computers to solve a single problem. If a transaction runs across some different sites, it may commit at some sites and may…
Trending news detection in low-traffic search environments faces a fundamental cold-start problem, where a lack of query volume prevents systems from identifying emerging or long-tail trends. Existing methods relying on keyword frequency or…
Achieving situational awareness is a challenging process in current HTTPS-dominant web traffic. In this paper, we propose a new approach to encrypted web traffic monitoring. First, we design a method for correlating host-based and network…
Big data integration could involve a large number of sources with unpredictable redundancy information between them. The approach of building a central warehousing to integrate big data from all sources then becomes infeasible because of so…
Real-time communication applications require consistently low latency, which is often disrupted by latency spikes caused by competing flows, especially Web traffic. We identify the root cause of disruptions in such cases as the mismatch…
When we talk about databases there have always been problems concerning data synchronization. The latter is a technique for maintaining consistency among different copies of data (often called replicas). In general, there is no universal…
