Load balancing plays a crucial role in many large scale systems. Several different load balancing principles have been proposed in the literature, such as Join-Shortest-Queue (JSQ) and its variations, or Join-Below-Threshold. We provide a…
In this paper, we examine the problem of a single provider offering multiple types of service level agreements, and the implications thereof. In doing so, we propose a simple model for machine-readable service level agreements (SLAs) and…
Serverless computing is a widely adopted cloud execution model composed of Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) offerings. The increased level of abstraction makes vendor lock-in inherent to serverless computing,…
Learning two tasks in a single shared function has some benefits. Firstly by acquiring information from the second task, the shared function leverages useful information that could have been neglected or underestimated in the first task.…
The multitask diffusion LMS is an efficient strategy to simultaneously infer, in a collaborative manner, multiple parameter vectors. Existing works on multitask problems assume that all agents respond to data synchronously. In several…
The advent of Cloud Computing enabled the proliferation of IoT applications for smart environments. However, the distance of these resources makes them unsuitable for delay-sensitive applications. Hence, Fog Computing has emerged to provide…
Recent years have seen a great increase in the capacity and parallel processing power of data centers and cloud services. To fully utilize the said distributed systems, optimal load balancing for parallel queuing architectures must be…

Load balancing is vital for the efficient and long-term operation of cloud data centers. With virtualization, post (reactive) migration of virtual machines after allocation is the traditional way for load balancing and consolidation.…
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. To provide cloud computing services economically, it is important to optimize resource allocation under the…
Load forecasting is essential for the efficient, reliable, and cost-effective management of power systems. Load forecasting performance can be improved by learning the similarities among multiple entities (e.g., regions, buildings).…
With the surge in cloud storage adoption, enterprises face challenges managing data duplication and exponential data growth. Deduplication mitigates redundancy, yet maintaining redundancy ensures high availability, incurring storage costs.…
A collection of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) -- such as air conditioners and water heaters -- can vary their power consumption within limits to help the balancing authority of a power grid maintain demand supply balance. Doing…
Federated Learning (FL) facilitates collaborative model training across distributed clients while ensuring data privacy. Traditionally, FL relies on a centralized server to coordinate learning, which creates bottlenecks and a single point…
The cloud's flexibility and promise of seamless auto-scaling notwithstanding, its ability to meet service level objectives (SLOs) typically calls for some form of control in resource usage. This seemingly traditional problem gives rise to…
