Networking data analytics is increasingly used for enhanced network visibility and controllability. We draw the similarities between the Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture and the MapReduce programming model. Inspired by the…

The community explored to build private inference frameworks for transformer-based large language models (LLMs) in a server-client setting, where the server holds the model parameters and the client inputs its private data (or prompt) for…

Data-intensive applications impact many domains, and their steadily increasing size and complexity demands high-performance, highly usable environments. We integrate a set of ideas developed in various data science and data engineering…

Measurement has become fundamental to the operation of networks and at-scale services---whether for management, security, diagnostics, optimization, or simply enhancing our collective understanding of the Internet as a complex system.…

Modern switches have packet processing capacity of up to multi-tera bits per second, and they are also becoming more and more programmable. We seek to understand whether the programmability can translate packet processing capacity to…

Productivity languages such as NumPy and Matlab make it much easier to implement data-intensive numerical algorithms. However, these languages can be intolerably slow for programs that don't map well to their built-in primitives. In this…

Predictive Process Monitoring (PPM) aims to forecast the future behavior of ongoing process instances using historical event data, enabling proactive decision-making. While recent advances rely heavily on deep learning models such as LSTMs…

Internet traffic is increasingly encrypted. While this protects the confidentiality and integrity of communication, it prevents network monitoring systems (NMS) and intrusion detection systems (IDSs) from effectively analyzing the now…

We propose an architecture for scheduling network operations enabling the end-to-end generation of entanglement according to user demand. The main challenge solved by this architecture is to allow for the integration of a network schedule…

Prompting has become a dominant paradigm for adapting large language models (LLMs). While discrete (textual) prompts are widely used for their interpretability, soft (parameter) prompts have recently gained traction in APIs. This is because…
