Over the past decade, we have witnessed the Internet becoming increasingly centralized in the hands of a small number of giant technology firms, that control many of the most popular applications and the content they host on their…

With the recent trend of "network softwarisation", enabled by emerging technologies such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), system administrators of data centres and enterprise networks have…

Device-to-Device (D2D) communications can increase the throughput of cellular networks significantly, where the interference among D2D links should be properly managed. In this paper, we propose an opportunistic cooperative D2D transmission…

We consider a scheme for offloading the delivery of contents to mobile devices in a vehicular networking scenario. Each content can be delivered to the requesting device either by a neighboring device or, at the expiration of a maximum…

Today, cloud workloads are essentially opaque to the cloud platform. Typically, the only information the platform receives is the virtual machine (VM) type and possibly a decoration to the type (e.g., the VM is evictable). Similarly,…

When several limited power devices are available, one of the most efficient ways to make profit of these resources, while reducing the processing latency and communication load, is to run in parallel several neural sub-networks and to fuse…

In Internet of Things (IoT) systems with security demands, there is often a need to distribute sensitive information (such as encryption keys, digital signatures, or login credentials, etc.) among the devices, so that it can be retrieved…

Performance evaluation is a key issue for designers and users of Database Management Systems (DBMSs). Performance is generally assessed with software benchmarks that help, e.g., test architectural choices, compare different technologies or…

This paper considers a cache-aided device-to-device (D2D) system where the users are equipped with cache memories of different size. During low traffic hours, a server places content in the users' cache memories, knowing that the files…

Federated Learning (FL) is a collaborative learning framework that enables edge devices to collaboratively learn a global model while keeping raw data locally. Although FL avoids leaking direct information from local datasets, sensitive…
