Large-scale streaming platforms such as Twitch are becoming increasingly popular, but detailed audience-streamer interaction dynamics remain unexplored at scale. In this paper, we perform a mixed-methods study on a dataset with over 12…
In this paper, we propose a digital twin (DT)-assisted cloud-edge collaborative transcoding scheme to enhance user satisfaction in live streaming. We first present a DT-assisted transcoding workload estimation (TWE) model for the cloud-edge…
The live streaming services have gained extreme popularity in recent years. Due to the spiky traffic patterns of live videos, utilizing the distributed edge servers to improve viewers' quality of experience (QoE) has become a common…
With the rapid proliferation of streaming services, network load exhibits highly time-varying and bursty behavior, posing serious challenges for maintaining Quality of Service (QoS) in Crowdsourced Cloud-Edge Platforms (CCPs). While CCPs…
Generative conversational interfaces powered by large language models (LLMs) typically stream output token-by-token at a rate determined by computational budget, often neglecting actual human reading speeds and the cognitive load associated…
With the development of mobile social networks, more and more crowdsourced data are generated on the Web or collected from real-world sensing. The fragment, heterogeneous, and noisy nature of online/offline crowdsourced data, however, makes…
Smart buildings are the need of the day with increasing demand-supply ratios and deficiency to generate considerably. In any modern non-industrial infrastructure, these demands mainly comprise of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs),…
In recent years, there has been a surge in the adoption of serverless computing due to the ease of deployment, attractive pay-per-use pricing, and transparent horizontal auto-scaling. At the same time, infrastructure advancements such as…
The increase in real time ultra-high definition video services presents a challenging issue to current network infrastructures, because of its high bandwidth usage, which saturate network links. The required bandwidth is related to strict…
Experiment-in-the-Loop Computing (EILC) requires support for numerous types of processing and the management of heterogeneous infrastructure over a dynamic range of scales: from the edge to the cloud and HPC, and intermediate resources.…
