Web applications, accessible via web browsers over the Internet, facilitate complex functionalities without local software installation. In the context of web applications, a workload refers to the number of user requests sent by users or…

The rapid growth of data volume and the accompanying congestion problems over the wireless networks have been critical issues to content providers. A novel technique, termed as coded cache, is proposed to relieve the burden. Through…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being used to plan, reason, and execute tasks across diverse scenarios. In use cases like repeatable workflows and agentic settings, prompts are often reused with minor variations while having a…

This paper considers the phenomenon where a single probe to a target generates multiple, sometimes numerous, packets in response -- which we term "blowback". Understanding blowback is important because attackers can leverage it to launch…

A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server may be overloaded by emergency-induced call volume, ``American Idol'' style flash crowd effects or denial of service attacks. The SIP server overload problem is interesting especially because the…

Google has a monolithic codebase with tens of millions build targets. Each build target specifies the information that is needed to build a software artifact or run tests. It is common to execute a subset of build targets at each revision…

Efficiently exploiting servers in data centers requires performance analysis methods that account not only for the stochastic nature of demand but also for server heterogeneity. Although several recent works proved optimality results for…

Due to the increasing volume, volatility, and diversity of data in virtually all areas of our lives, the ability to detect duplicates in potentially linked data sources is more important than ever before. However, while research is already…

The traffic in telephone networks is analyzed in this paper. Unlike the classical traffic analysis where call blockings are due to the limited channel capacity, we consider here a more realistic cause for call blockings which is due to the…

Due to the rapid development of the Internet in recent years, the need to find new tools to reinforce trust and security through the Internet has became a major concern. The discovery of new pseudo-random number generators with a strong…

To study gap acceptance behaviour one needs the distribution (or probability density function) of gaps in the opposing stream. Further, in these times of widespread availability of large computing powers, traffic simulation has emerged as a…

With the High Luminosity LHC coming online in the near future, event generators will need to provide very large event samples to match the experimental precision. Currently, the estimated cost to generate these events exceeds the computing…

Long-running service workloads (e.g. web search engine) and short-term data analysis workloads (e.g. Hadoop MapReduce jobs) co-locate in today's data centers. Developing realistic benchmarks to reflect such practical scenario of mixed…

Dataflow devices represent an avenue towards saving the control and data movement overhead of Load-Store Architectures. Various dataflow accelerators have been proposed, but how to efficiently schedule applications on such devices remains…

Caching has the potential to be of significant benefit for accessing large language models (LLMs) due to their high latencies which typically range from a small number of seconds to well over a minute. Furthermore, many LLMs charge money…

Data centers are giant factories of Internet data and services. Worldwide data centers consume energy and emit emissions more than airline industry. Unfortunately, most of data centers are significantly underutilized. One of the major…

In many manufacturing processes, batch processing is frequently needed for capacity reasons. This applies both to parallel and serial batching. However, while the serial batch processing is largely studied in the literature, as it is…

We explore the achievable delay performance in wireless random-access networks. While relatively simple and inherently distributed in nature, suitably designed queue-based random-access schemes provide the striking capability to match the…

Existed studies have shown that crowd workers are more interested in taking similar tasks in terms of context, field, and required technology, rather than tasks from the same project. Therefore, it is important for task owners to not only…

The growth of the World Wide Web has emphasized the need for improvement in user latency. One of the techniques that are used for improving user latency is Caching and another is Web Prefetching. Approaches that bank solely on caching offer…
