Snafu, or Snake Functions, is a modular system to host, execute and manage language-level functions offered as stateless (micro-)services to diverse external triggers. The system interfaces resemble those of commercial FaaS providers but…

Serverless computing provides just-in-time infrastructure provisioning with rapid elasticity and a finely-grained pricing model. As full control of resource allocation is in the hands of the cloud provider and applications only consume…

Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a Serverless Cloud paradigm where a platform manages the execution scheduling (e.g., resource allocation, runtime environments) of stateless functions. Recent developments demonstrate the benefits of using…

Serverless computing, with its operational simplicity and on-demand scalability, has become a preferred paradigm for deploying workflow applications. However, resource allocation for workflows, particularly those with branching structures,…

One key to enabling high-performance serverless computing is to mitigate cold-starts. Current solutions utilize a warm pool to keep function alive: a warm-start can be analogous to a CPU cache-hit. However, modern cache has multiple…

Serverless computing is a cloud computing paradigm that allows developers to focus exclusively on business logic as cloud service providers manage resource management tasks. Serverless applications follow this model, where the application…

Serverless computing has matured into an effective execution model for edge cloud environments, enabling function level decomposition, demand driven scaling, and workflow execution across stable, well provisioned infrastructure. This…

In recent years Serverless Computing has emerged as a compelling cloud based model for the development of a wide range of data-intensive applications. However, rapid container provisioning introduces non-trivial challenges for FaaS cloud…

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) has raised a growing interest in how to "tame" serverless computing to enable domain-specific use cases such as data-intensive applications and machine learning (ML), to name a few. Recently, several systems…

We describe SAFIUS, a secure accountable file system that resides over an untrusted storage. SAFIUS provides strong security guarantees like confidentiality, integrity, prevention from rollback attacks, and accountability. SAFIUS also…

This paper explores resource allocation in serverless cloud computing platforms and proposes an optimization approach for autoscaling systems. Serverless computing relieves users from resource management tasks, enabling focus on application…

The serverless platform aims to facilitate cloud applications' straightforward deployment, scaling, and management. Unfortunately, the distributed nature of serverless computing makes it difficult to port traditional security tools…

Client-side metadata caching has long been considered an effective method for accelerating metadata operations in distributed file systems (DFSs). However, we have found that client-side state (e.g., caching) is not only ineffective but…

Software as a service (SaaS) has recently enjoyed much attention as it makes the use of software more convenient and cost-effective. At the same time, the arising of users' expectation for high quality service such as real-time information…

While (1) serverless computing is emerging as a popular form of cloud execution, datacenters are going through major changes: (2) storage dissaggregation in the system infrastructure level and (3) integration of domain-specific accelerators…

Serverless computing that runs functions with auto-scaling is a popular task execution pattern in the cloud-native era. By connecting serverless functions into workflows, tenants can achieve complex functionality. Prior researches adopt the…

Searchable encryption (SE) is one of the key enablers for building encrypted databases. It allows a cloud server to search over encrypted data without decryption. Dynamic SE additionally includes data addition and deletion operations to…

Fog computing is introduced by shifting cloud resources towards the users' proximity to mitigate the limitations possessed by cloud computing. Fog environment made its limited resource available to a large number of users to deploy their…

The application of serverless computing for alignment of RNA-sequences can improve many existing bioinformatics workflows by reducing operational costs and execution times. This work analyzes the applicability of serverless services for…

Datacenters are witnessing a rapid surge in the adoption of serverless functions for microservices-based applications. A vast majority of these microservices typically span less than a second, have strict SLO requirements, and are chained…
