Cloud-based computing infrastructure provides an efficient means to support real-time processing workloads, e.g., virtualized base station processing, and collaborative video conferencing. This paper addresses resource allocation for a…
As Clouds are complex, large-scale, and heterogeneous distributed systems, management of their resources is a challenging task. They need automated and integrated intelligent strategies for provisioning of resources to offer services that…
Platform giants in China have operated with persistently compressed margins in highly concentrated markets for much of the past decade, despite market shares exceeding 60\% in core segments. Standard theory predicts otherwise: either the…
We propose a disruptive paradigm to actively place and schedule TWhrs of parallel AI jobs strategically on the grid, at distributed, grid-aware high performance compute data centers (HPC) capable of using their massive power and energy load…
Semantic communications (SC) is an emerging communication paradigm in which wireless devices can send only relevant information from a source of data while relying on computing resources to regenerate missing data points. However, the…
Recent global and local phenomena have exposed vulnerabilities in critical supply chain networks (SCNs), drawing significant attention from researchers across various fields. Typically, SCNs are viewed as static entities regularly optimized…
The cloud computing is evolving as a key computing platform for sharing resources like infrastructure, platform, software etc. This has proven to be an essential requirement for extending many existing applications. Software as a service…
This paper considers a Markov decision model for profit maximization of a cloud computing service provider catering to customers submitting jobs with firm real-time random deadlines. Customers are charged on a per-job basis, receiving a…
Internet of Things and data sciences are fueling the development of innovative solutions for various applications in Smart and Connected Communities (SCC). These applications provide participants with the capability to exchange not only…
The rapid growth of variable renewable energy has increased the need for flexible and efficiently coordinated energy resources. In this context, hybrid resources that combine renewable generation and battery storage within a single…
The basic idea behind Cloud computing is that resource providers offer elastic resources to end users. In this paper, we intend to answer one key question to the success of Cloud computing: in Cloud, can small or medium-scale scientific…
Fog computing is transforming the network edge into an intelligent platform by bringing storage, computing, control, and networking functions closer to end-users, things, and sensors. How to allocate multiple resource types (e.g., CPU,…
The three traditional cloud delivery models -- IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS -- constrain access to cloud resources by hiding their raw functionality and forcing us to use them indirectly via a restricted set of actions. Can we introduce a new…
In a hybrid cloud, individual cloud service providers (CSPs) often have incentive to use each other's resources to off-load peak loads or place load closer to the end user. However, CSPs have to keep track of contributions and gains in…
Scalability is an important characteristic of cloud computing. With scalability, cost is minimized by provisioning and releasing resources according to demand. Most of current Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers deliver…
Ridesharing markets are complex: drivers are strategic, rider demand and driver availability are stochastic, and complex city-scale phenomena like weather induce large scale correlation across space and time. At the same time, past work has…
We present a convex optimization framework for overcoming the limitations of Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler by intelligently allocating diverse cloud resources while minimizing costs and fragmentation. Current Kubernetes scaling mechanisms…
Cloud benchmarks suffer from performance fluctuations caused by resource contention, network latency, hardware heterogeneity, and other factors along with decisions taken in the benchmark design. In particular, the sampling strategy of…
This paper presents a theoretical discussion for environmentally-conscious job deployment and migration in cloud environments, aiming to minimize the environmental impact of resource provisioning while incorporating sustainability…
We study the robust sequential screening problem of a monopolist seller of multiple cloud computing services facing a buyer who has private information about his demand distribution for these services. At the time of contracting, the buyer…
