The tools employed in the DevOps Toolchain generates a large quantity of data that is typically ignored or inspected only in particular occasions, at most. However, the analysis of such data could enable the extraction of useful information…
Preserving invariants while designing distributed applications under weak consistency models is difficult. The CEC (Correct Eventual Consistency Tool) is meant to aid the application designer in this task. It provides information about the…
Aiming at analyzing performance in cloud computing, some unpredictable perturbations which may lead to performance downgrade are essential factors that should not be neglected. To avoid performance downgrade in cloud computing system, it is…
A fixed-design residual bootstrap method is proposed for the two-step estimator of Francq and Zako\"ian (2015) associated with the conditional Value-at-Risk. The bootstrap's consistency is proven for a general class of volatility models and…
In this paper, we describe an enhanced Automatic Check- pointing and Partial Rollback algorithm(CaP R + ) to realize Software Transactional Memory(STM) that is based on con- tinuous conflict detection, lazy versioning with automatic…
Evaluating the programming robustness of large language models (LLMs) is paramount for ensuring their reliability in AI-based software development. However, adversarial attacks exhibit fundamental limitations that compromise fair robustness…
In this work, we present a novel inner product design for stochastic computing. Stochastic computing is an emerging computing technique, that encodes a number in the probability of observing a one in a random bit stream. This leads to…
A novel perspective on the design of robust model predictive control (MPC) methods is presented, whereby closed-loop constraint satisfaction is ensured using recursive feasibility of the MPC optimization. Necessary and sufficient conditions…
We identify a trade-off between robustness and accuracy that serves as a guiding principle in the design of defenses against adversarial examples. Although this problem has been widely studied empirically, much remains unknown concerning…
Strictly serializable datastores greatly simplify the development of correct applications by providing strong consistency guarantees. However, existing techniques pay unnecessary costs for naturally consistent transactions, which arrive at…
Reservoir observers provide a data-driven approach to the inference of unmeasured variables from observed ones for nonlinear dynamical systems. While previous studies have demonstrated wide applicability, their performance may vary…
We present safe control of partially-observed linear time-varying systems in the presence of unknown and unpredictable process and measurement noise. We introduce a control algorithm that minimizes dynamic regret, i.e., that minimizes the…
Run-time integrity enforcement in real-time systems presents a fundamental conflict with availability. Existing approaches in real-time systems primarily focus on minimizing the execution-time overhead of monitoring. After a violation is…
We study network revenue management problems motivated by applications such as railway ticket sales and hotel room bookings. Requests, each requiring a resource for a consecutive stay, arrive sequentially with known arrival probabilities.…
This work mainly addresses continuous-time multiagent consensus networks where an adverse attacker affects the convergence performances of said protocol. In particular, we develop a novel secure-by-design approach in which the presence of a…
Operators of Electric Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (E-AMoD) fleets need to make several real-time decisions such as matching available vehicles to ride requests, rebalancing idle vehicles to areas of high demand, and charging vehicles to…
Causal consistency is an intermediate consistency model that can be achieved together with high availability and performance requirements even in presence of network partitions. In the context of partitioned data stores, it has been shown…
Solutions to address the periodic review inventory control problem with nonstationary random demand, lost sales, and stochastic vendor lead times typically involve making strong assumptions on the dynamics for either approximation or…
The identification of anomalies is a critical component of operating complex, and possibly large-scale and geo-graphically distributed cyber-physical systems. While designing anomaly detectors, it is common to assume Gaussian noise models…
Data store replication results in a fundamental trade-off between operation latency and data consistency. In this paper, we examine this trade-off in the context of quorum-replicated data stores. Under partial, or non-strict quorum…
