Edge-cloud collaborative inference is becoming a practical necessity for LLM-powered edge devices: on-device models often cannot afford the required reasoning capability, while cloud-only inference could be prohibitively costly and slow…
Although diffusion models in text-to-speech have become a popular choice due to their strong generative ability, the intrinsic complexity of sampling from diffusion models harms their efficiency. Alternatively, we propose VoiceFlow, an…
This paper studies the delay constrained multicast capacity of large scale mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We consider a MANET consists of $n_s$ multicast sessions. Each multicast session has one source and $p$ destinations. The wireless…
Communication scheduling aims to reduce communication bottlenecks in data parallel training (DP) by maximizing the overlap between computation and communication. However, existing schemes fall short due to three main issues: (1) hard data…
Developing stateful cloud applications, such as low-latency workflows and microservices with strict consistency requirements, remains arduous for programmers. The Stateful Functions-as-a-Service (SFaaS) paradigm aims to serve these use…
Monitoring continuous data for meaningful signals increasingly demands long-horizon, stateful reasoning over unstructured streams. However, today's LLM frameworks remain stateless and one-shot, and traditional Complex Event Processing (CEP)…
Deep learning models are being deployed in many mobile intelligent applications. End-side services, such as intelligent personal assistants, autonomous cars, and smart home services often employ either simple local models on the mobile or…
Expectations regarding the future growth of Internet of Things (IoT)-related technologies are high. These expectations require the realization of a sustainable general purpose application framework that is capable to handle these kinds of…
To remain competitive in a fast changing environment, many companies started to migrate their legacy applications towards a Microservices architecture. Such extensive migration processes require careful planning and consideration of…
The agility inherent to today's business promotes the definition of software architectures where the business entities are decoupled into modules and/or services. However, there are advantages in having a rich domain model, where domain…
Communication costs within Federated learning hinder the system scalability for reaching more data from more clients. The proposed FL adopts a hub-and-spoke network topology. All clients communicate through the central server. Hence,…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are wildly popular today and it is important to serve them efficiently. Existing LLM serving systems are stateless across requests. Consequently, when LLMs are used in the common setting of multi-turn…
Machine Learning and Data Mining (MLDM) algorithms are becoming increasingly important in analyzing large volume of data generated by simulations, experiments and mobile devices. With increasing data volume, distributed memory systems (such…
We introduce a user mode file system, CannyFS, that hides latency by assuming all I/O operations will succeed. The user mode process will in turn report errors, allowing proper cleanup and a repeated attempt to take place. We demonstrate…
Mobile micro-cloud is an emerging technology in distributed computing, which is aimed at providing seamless computing/data access to the edge of the network when a centralized service may suffer from poor connectivity and long latency.…
