This paper provides a global picture about the deployment of networked processing services for genomic data sets. Many current research make an extensive use genomic data, which are massive and rapidly increasing over time. They are…
With the prevalence of X-as-a-Service (e.g., software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, etc.) and users' growing demand on good services, QoS (Quality of Service) assurance is becoming increasingly important…
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) presents an attractive paradigm for training intelligent agents without expensive online interactions. However, current approaches still struggle with complex, long-horizon sequential decision making. In…
The goal of this chapter is to illuminate the operational frameworks, key actors, and significant cybersecurity implications of the Malware as a Service (MaaS) ecosystem. Highlighting the transformation of malware proliferation into a…
This paper presents a performance analysis of the design space of optical datacenter networks, including both demand-oblivious (static or dynamic) and demand-aware networks. We formally show that the number of specific optical switch types…
The function-as-a-service (FaaS) paradigm is envisioned as the next generation of cloud computing systems that mitigate the burden for cloud-native application developers by abstracting them from cloud resource management. However, it does…
As future tasks in networked systems are increasingly relying on collaborative execution among distributed devices, trust has become an essential tool for securing both reliable collaborators and task-specific resources. However, the…
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a new software delivery model in which pre-built applications are delivered to customers as a service. SaaS providers aim to attract a large number of tenants (users) with minimal system modifications to meet…
Serverless computing has emerged as a very popular cloud technology, together with its companion Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming model enabling invocations of stateless functions from clients. An evolution of serverless is now…
We argue for network slicing as an efficient solution that addresses the diverse requirements of 5G mobile networks, thus providing the necessary flexibility and scalability associated with future network implementations. We elaborate on…
We propose a novel framework for the allocation of drone swarms for delivery services known as Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS). The allocation framework ensures minimum cost (aka maximum profit) to drone swarm providers while meeting…
Our work proposes neural network design choices that set the state-of-the-art on a challenging public benchmark on cataract surgery, CaDIS. Our methodology achieves strong performance across three semantic segmentation tasks with…
"AI as a Service" (AIaaS) is a rapidly growing market, offering various plug-and-play AI services and tools. AIaaS enables its customers (users) - who may lack the expertise, data, and/or resources to develop their own systems - to easily…
The potential to operate third-party terminals over multi-domain transparent optical networks attracts operators and customers to implement Optical Spectrum as a Service (OSaaS). As infrastructure information cannot always be shared with…
We develop an edge-assisted object recognition system with the aim of studying the system-level trade-offs between end-to-end latency and object recognition accuracy. We focus on developing techniques that optimize the transmission delay of…
Through network slicing, different requirements of different applications and services can be met. These requirements can be in terms of latency, bandwidth, mobility support, defining service area, as well as security. Through fine and…
Logistics is a key economic sector where any optimization that reduces costs or improves service has a great impact on society at large. In this paper, the role of two 5G Network Slicing (NS) strategies in Smart Logistics is studied: the…
Function as a Service (FaaS) is a new cloud technology with automated resource management. Different from traditional cloud computing, each FaaS cloud function can only run a fixed period of time before being decommissioned. Furthermore,…
The analysis of computer and communication networks gives rise to some interesting inverse problems. This paper is concerned with active network tomography where the goal is to recover information about quality-of-service (QoS) parameters…
The growing complexity of software systems as well as changing conditions in their operating environment demand systems that are more flexible, adaptive and dependable. The service-oriented computing paradigm is in widespread use to support…
