In recent years, the rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) nodes and devices has seamlessly integrated technology into everyday life, amplifying the demand for optimized computing solutions. To meet the critical Quality of Service…
Web services allow communication between heterogeneous systems in a distributed environment. Their enormous success and their increased use led to the fact that thousands of Web services are present on the Internet. This significant number…
Abstract The cloud computing is a key computing approach adopted by many organizations in order to share resources. It provides Everything As-A-Service (XaaS). Software-As-A-Service is an important resource on the cloud computing…
Service requesters with limited technical knowledge should be able to compare services based on their quality of service (QoS) requirements in cloud service marketplaces. Existing service matching approaches focus on QoS requirements as…
Microservices have been a key architectural approach for over a decade, transforming system design by promoting decentralization and allowing development teams to work independently on specific microservices. While loosely coupled…
We propose a process calculus for modelling systems in the Internet of Things paradigm. Our systems interact both with the physical environment, via sensors and actuators, and with smart devices, via short-range and Internet channels. The…
Wireless connectivity has traditionally been regarded as an opaque data pipe carrying messages, whose context-dependent meaning and effectiveness have been ignored. Nevertheless, in emerging cyber-physical and autonomous networked systems,…
When artificial agents are jointly trained to perform collaborative tasks using a communication channel, they develop opaque goal-oriented communication protocols. Good task performance is often considered sufficient evidence that…
Today's wireless networks are increasingly crowded with an explosion of wireless users, who have greater and more diverse quality of service (QoS) demands than ever before. However, the amount of spectrum that can be used to satisfy these…
Automatic service composition in mobile and pervasive computing faces many challenges due to the complex nature of the environment. Common approaches address service composition from optimization perspectives which are not feasible in…
In FaaS, users invoke remote functions, which encapsulate service(s). These functions typically need to remotely access a persistent state via external services: this makes the paradigm less attractive in edge systems, especially for IoT…
Stochastic service systems describe situations in which customers compete for service from scarce resources. Think of check-in lines at airports, waiting rooms in hospitals or queues in supermarkets, where the scarce resource is human…
The area of quality of service (QoS) in communications networks has been the target of research for already several decades with tens of thousands of published journal and conference papers. However, the practical introduction of QoS…
The use of web services has dominated software industry. Existing technologies of web services are extended to give value added customized services to customers through composition. Automated web service composition is a very challenging…
We describe a system for serverless computing where users, programs, and the underlying platform share a common representation of a computation: a deterministic procedure, run in an environment of well-specified data or the outputs of other…
Quantum systems have started to emerge as a disruptive technology and enabling platforms - exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics via programmable quantum bits (QuBits) - to achieve quantum supremacy in computing. Academic research,…
We present new operational semantics for serverless computing that model the event-driven relationships between serverless functions, as well as their interaction with platforms services such as databases and object stores. These semantics…
By transmitting task-related information only, semantic communications yield significant performance gains over conventional communications. However, the lack of mature semantic theory about semantic information quantification and…
The number of publicly available Web services (WS) is continuously growing, and in parallel, we are witnessing a rapid development in semantic-related web technologies. The intersection of the semantic web and WS allows the development of…
Semantic communication has shown great potential in boosting the effectiveness and reliability of communications. However, its systems to date are mostly enabled by deep learning, which requires demanding computing resources. This article…
