Cloud computing is steadily growing and, as IaaS vendors have started to offer pay-as-you-go billing policies, it is fundamental to achieve as much elasticity as possible, avoiding over-provisioning that would imply higher costs. In this…
Through the 1990s to 2012 the internet changed the world of computing drastically. It started its journey with parallel computing after it advanced to distributed computing and further to grid computing. And in present scenario it creates a…
We study general techniques for implementing distributed data structures on top of future many-core architectures with non cache-coherent or partially cache-coherent memory. With the goal of contributing towards what might become, in the…
Kubernetes is the leading platform for orchestrating containerized applications. In this paper, we extend Kubernetes networking to make use of SRv6, a feature-rich overlay networking mechanism. Integration with SRv6 can be very beneficial…
In this article we introduce the concept and the first implementation of a lightweight client-server-framework as middleware for distributed computing. On the client side an installation without administrative rights or privileged ports can…
Data commons collate data with cloud computing infrastructure and commonly used software services, tools and applications to create biomedical resources for the large-scale management, analysis, harmonization, and sharing of biomedical…
In every form of digital store-and-forward communication, intermediate forwarding nodes are computers, with attendant memory and processing resources. This has inevitably stimulated efforts to create a wide-area infrastructure that goes…
Programmable packet-processing pipelines are a core building block of modern SmartNICs and switches, yet their design requires navigating intertwined trade-offs among program feasibility, hardware cost, and system-level performance.…
To break the bottlenecks of mainstream cloud-based machine learning (ML) paradigm, we adopt device-cloud collaborative ML and build the first end-to-end and general-purpose system, called Walle, as the foundation. Walle consists of a…
In this article we look at the potential of cloud containers and we provide some guidelines for companies and organisations that are starting to look at how to migrate their legacy infrastructure to something modern, reliable and scalable.…
Modern logistics systems tend to generate continuous streams of data from sources such as GPS, IoT sensors, and logistics management systems. The aggregation, processing, and analysis of data have become vital for monitoring operations,…
Aneka is a platform for deploying Clouds developing applications on top of it. It provides a runtime environment and a set of APIs that allow developers to build .NET applications that leverage their computation on either public or private…
Cloud Computing holds the potential to eliminate the requirements for setting up of high-cost computing infrastructure for IT-based solutions and services that the industry uses. It promises to provide a flexible IT architecture, accessible…
Kubernetes has been for a number of years the default cloud orchestrator solution across multiple application and research domains. As such, optimizing the energy efficiency of Kubernetes-deployed workloads is of primary interest towards…
An emerging internet based super computing model is represented by cloud computing. Cloud computing is the convergence and evolution of several concepts from virtualization, distributed storage, grid, and automation management to enable a…
The Agent Based Model community has a rich and diverse ecosystem of libraries, platforms, and applications to help modelers develop rigorous simulations. Despite this robust and diverse ecosystem, the complexity of life from microbial…
This article provides the motivation and overview of the Collective Knowledge framework (CK or cKnowledge). The CK concept is to decompose research projects into reusable components that encapsulate research artifacts and provide unified…
The Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model of cloud computing is a promising approach towards building elastically scaling systems. Unfortunately, building such applications today is a complex, repetitive and error-prone endeavor, as IaaS…
We argue for the need for a new generation of data science solutions that can democratize recent advances in data engineering and artificial intelligence for non-technical users from various disciplines, enabling them to unlock the full…
New scientific instruments are starting to generate an unprecedented amount of data. LOFAR, one of the Square Kilometre Array pathfinders, is already producing data on a petabyte scale. The calibration of these data presents a huge…
