A service provisioning system is examined, where a number of servers are used to offer different types of services to paying customers. A customer is charged for the execution of a stream of jobs; the number of jobs in the stream and the…

As the cloud infrastructure grows, it becomes more challenging to manage resources in such a massive, diverse, and distributed setting, despite the fact that cloud computing provides computational capabilities on-demand. Due to resource…

Caches are an important component of modern computing systems given their significant impact on performance. In particular, caches play a key role in the cloud due to the nature of large-scale, data-intensive processing. One of the key…

Current Serverless abstractions (e.g., FaaS) poorly support non-functional requirements (e.g., QoS and constraints), are provider-dependent, and are incompatible with other cloud abstractions (e.g., databases). As a result, application…

Volunteer computing is an Internet-based distributed computing system in which volunteers share their extra available resources to manage large-scale tasks. However, computing devices in a Volunteer Computing System (VCS) are highly dynamic…

Quality of Service (QoS) is now regarded as a requirement for all networks in managing resources like bandwidth and avoidance of network impairments like packet loss, jitter, and delay. Media transfer or streaming would be virtually…

This paper shows that authors have no consistent way to characterize the scalability of their solutions, and so consider only a limited number of scaling characteristics. This review aimed at establishing the evidence that the route for…

Quantum computing is quickly turning from a promise to a reality, witnessing the launch of several cloud-based, general-purpose offerings, and IDEs. Unfortunately, however, existing solutions typically implicitly assume intimate knowledge…

Cloud computing is a Technology that has come out in the last decade and that is transforming the IT industry in huge. The Cloud computing is playing a vital role as a backbone component of the Internet of Things (IoT). In a Cloud Computing…

The Microservices Architecture (MSA) design pattern has become a staple for modern applications, allowing functionalities to be divided across fine-grained microservices, fostering reusability, distribution, and interoperability. As…

Ensuring data correctness over partitioned distributed database systems is a classical problem. Classical solutions proposed to solve this problem are mainly adopting locking or blocking techniques. These techniques are not suitable for…

While high-capacity AI models have advanced state-of-the-art performance, their practical deployment is often hindered by high inference costs, environmental impact, and a "one-size-fits-all" approach that ignores varying sample complexity.…

We propose a novel framework to select IaaS providers according to a consumer's long-term performance requirements. The proposed framework leverages free short-term trials to discover the unknown QoS performance of IaaS providers. We design…

In today's businesses, service-oriented architectures represent the main paradigm for IT infrastructures. Indeed, the emergence of Internet made it possible to set up an exploitable environment to distribute applications on a large scale,…

With the rapid development of high-speed railway (HSR), how to provide the passengers with multimedia services has attracted increasing attention. A key issue is to develop an effective scheduling algorithm for multiple services with…

Cloud computing facilitates the access of applications and data from any location by a distributed storage system. Erasure codes offer better data replication technique with reduced storage costs for more reliability. This paper considers…

With the rapid development of quantum computers, quantum algorithms have been studied extensively. However, quantum algorithms tackling statistical problems are still lacking. In this paper, we propose a novel non-oracular quantum adaptive…

The problem of efficiently delivering data within networks is very important nowadays, especially in the context of the large volumes of data which are being produced each year and of the increased data access needs of the users. Efficient…

Optimizing performance and energy efficiency in many-core processors, especially within Non-Uniform Cache Access (NUCA) architectures, remains a critical challenge. The performance heterogeneity inherent in S-NUCA systems complicates task…

Opportunistic computing is a paradigm for completely self-organised pervasive networks. Instead of relying only on fixed infrastructures as the cloud, users' devices act as service providers for each other. They use pairwise contacts to…
