Machine Reassignment is a challenging problem for constraint programming (CP) and mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approaches, especially given the size of data centres. The multi-objective version of the Machine Reassignment Problem…
Although public clouds still occupy the largest portion of the total cloud infrastructure, private clouds are attracting increasing interest from both industry and academia because of their better security and privacy control. According to…
Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are essential measuring devices for monitoring, control and protection of power systems. The objective of the optimal PMU placement (OPP) problem is to minimize the number of PMUs and select the bus locations…
Cloud computing is widely adopted by corporate as well as retail customers to reduce the upfront cost of establishing computing infrastructure. However, switching to the cloud based services poses a multitude of questions, both for…
Virtual machine consolidation describes the process of reallocation of virtual machines (VMs) on a set of target servers. It can be formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem which is proven to be an NP-hard problem. In this…
We consider a multi-objective optimization problem with objective functions that are expensive to evaluate. The decision maker (DM) has unknown preferences, and so the standard approach is to generate an approximation of the Pareto front…
We present 3D-MPA, a method for instance segmentation on 3D point clouds. Given an input point cloud, we propose an object-centric approach where each point votes for its object center. We sample object proposals from the predicted object…
It is desirable in many multi-objective machine learning applications, such as multi-task learning with conflicting objectives and multi-objective reinforcement learning, to find a Pareto solution that can match a given preference of a…
Every year, the computing resources available on dynamically partially reconfigurable devices increase enormously. In the near future, we expect many applications to run on a single reconfigurable device. In this paper, we present a concept…
The virtual machine consolidation problem (VMCP) attempts to determine which servers to be activated, how to allocate virtual machines (VMs) to the activated servers, and how to migrate VMs among servers such that the summation of…
Efficient virtual machine (VM) management can dramatically reduce energy consumption in data centers. Existing VM management algorithms fall into two categories based on whether the VMs' resource demands are assumed to be static or dynamic.…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a promising virtualization technology that has the potential to significantly reduce the expenses and improve the service agility. NFV makes it possible for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to…
Organizations struggle to handle sheer number of vulnerabilities in their cloud environments. The de facto methodology used for prioritizing vulnerabilities is to use Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). However, CVSS has inherent…
Cloud computing datacenters provide millions of virtual machines in actual cloud markets. In this context, Virtual Machine Placement (VMP) is one of the most challenging problems in cloud infrastructure management, considering the large…
Intelligent Virtual Machine (VM) provisioning is central to cost and resource efficient computation in cloud computing environments. As bootstrapping VMs is time-consuming, a key challenge for latency-critical tasks is to predict future…
In this paper we challenge the widely accepted premise that, in order to carry out a distributed computation, say on the cloud, users have to inform, along with all the inputs that the algorithm in use requires, the number of processors to…
We consider multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems handled by means of preference driven efficient heuristics. They look for the most preferred part of the Pareto front on the basis of some preferences expressed by the Decision…
We define a new problem called the Vehicle Scheduling Problem (VSP). The goal is to minimize an objective function, such as the number of tardy vehicles over a transportation network subject to maintaining safety distances, meeting hard…
The P-median facility location problem with user preferences (PUP) studies an operator that locates P facilities to serve customers/users in a cost-efficient manner, upon anticipating customer preferences and choices. The problem can be…
