The presented study elaborates a multi-server priority queueing model considering the pre-emptive repeat policy and phase-type distribution (PH) for retrial process. The incoming heterogeneous calls are categorized as handoff calls and new…
In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing the age of information in a multi-source system, where samples are taken from multiple sources and sent to a destination via a channel with random delay. Due to interference, only one…
Continuous queries over data streams may suffer from blocking operations and/or unbound wait, which may delay answers until some relevant input arrives through the data stream. These delays may turn answers, when they arrive, obsolete to…
Distributed stream processing systems are widely deployed to process real-time data generated by various devices, such as sensors and software systems. A key challenge in the system is overloading, which leads to an unstable system status…
This paper considers a real-time status update system in which an energy harvesting (EH)-powered transmitter node observes some physical process, and sends its sensed measurements in the form of status updates to a destination node. The…
Modern sensing and monitoring applications typically consist of sources transmitting updates of different sizes, ranging from a few bytes (position, temperature, etc.) to multiple megabytes (images, video frames, LIDAR point scans, etc.).…
In this paper, we consider a status update system, where an access point collects measurements from multiple sensors that monitor a common physical process, fuses them, and transmits the aggregated sample to the destination over an erasure…
This paper is motivated by emerging edge computing systems which consist of sensor nodes that acquire and process information and then transmit status updates to an edge receiver for possible further processing. As power is a scarce…
We consider a node-monitor pair, where updates are generated stochastically (according to a known distribution) at the node that it wishes to send to the monitor. The node is assumed to incur a fixed cost for each transmission, and the…
Scheduling of the transmission of status updates over an error-prone communication channel is studied in order to minimize the long-term average age of information (AoI) at the destination, under an average resource constraint at the source…

We summarize recent contributions in the broad area of age of information (AoI). In particular, we describe the current state of the art in the design and optimization of low-latency cyberphysical systems and applications in which sources…
Age of information (AoI), defined as the time elapsed since the last received update was generated, is a newly proposed metric to measure the timeliness of information updates in a network. We consider AoI minimization problem for a network…
The notion of timely status updating is investigated in the context of cloud computing. Measurements of a time-varying process of interest are acquired by a sensor node, and uploaded to a cloud server to undergo some required computations.…

Assume that there are multiple data streams (channels, sensors) and in each stream the process of interest produces generally dependent and non-identically distributed observations. When the process is in a normal mode (in-control), the…
