Serverless computing has seen a myriad of work exploring its potential. Some systems tackle Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) properties on automatic elasticity and scale to run highly-parallel computing jobs. However, they focus on specific…
The web ecosystem is rapidly evolving with changing business and functional models. Cloud platforms are available in a SaaS, PaaS and IaaS model designed around commoditized Linux based servers. 10 billion users will be online and accessing…
Traditionally, the production efficiency of a factory floor is evaluated using non-real time objective functions. These are based on scheduling punctuality criteria such as 'earliness (a measure of finishing operations ahead of schedule)'…
Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are component-based architectures, characterized by reusability, modularization and composition, usually offered by HTTP (web services) and often equipped with a Quality of Services (QoS) measure. In…
Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to enable a myriad of applications by interconnecting objects - such as sensors and robots - over the Internet. IoT applications range from healthcare to autonomous vehicles and include disaster…
The air-ground integrated network is a key component of future sixth generation (6G) networks to support seamless and near-instant super-connectivity. There is a pressing need to intelligently provision various services in 6G networks,…
An Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud provider is committed to each tenant by a service level agreement (SLA) which indicates the terms of commitment, e.g. the level of availability of the IaaS cloud service.The different resources…
New generations of distributed systems are opening novel perspectives for logic programming (LP): on the one hand, service-oriented architectures represent nowadays the standard approach for distributed systems engineering; on the other…
FaaS (Function as a Service) allows developers to upload and execute code in the cloud without managing servers. FaaS offerings from leading public cloud providers are based on system microVM or application container technologies such as…
Cloud computing is an emerging platform of service computing designed for swift and dynamic delivery of assured computing resources. Cloud computing provide Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) for guaranteed uptime availability for enabling…
Offloading computation from user devices to nodes with processing capabilities at the edge of the network is a major trend in today's network/service architectures. At the same time, serverless computing has gained a huge traction among the…
Running microbenchmark suites often and early in the development process enables developers to identify performance issues in their application. Microbenchmark suites of complex applications can comprise hundreds of individual benchmarks…
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative faces the challenge of developing an agile, fit-for-purpose, and sustainable service-oriented platform that can address the evolving needs of scientific communities. The NEANIAS project…
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) allows to directly submit function code to a cloud provider without the burden of managing infrastructure resources. Each cloud provider establishes execution time limits to their FaaS offerings, which impose…
As Mobility as a Service (MaaS) systems become increasingly popular, travel is changing from unimodal trips to personalized services offered by a platform of mobility operators. Evaluation of MaaS platforms depends on modeling both user…
Because Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is one of the hottest topics that is currently gaining momentum, and the number of its adopters (both business and IT executives) is increasing in a tremendous manner, it is really a must to…
Cloud computing provides ubiquitous and on-demand access to vast reconfigurable resources that can meet any computational need. Many service models are available, but the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model is particularly suited to…
As per leading IT experts, today's large enterprises are going through business transformations. They are adopting service-based IT models such as SOA to develop their enterprise information systems and applications. In fact, SOA is an…
Predictive machine learning models nowadays are often updated in a stateless and expensive way. The two main future trends for companies that want to build machine learning-based applications and systems are real-time inference and…
The flexibility and the variety of computing resources offered by the cloud make it particularly attractive for executing user workloads. However, IaaS cloud environments pose non-trivial challenges in the case of workflow scheduling under…
