GlideinWMS is a workload manager provisioning resources for many experiments, including CMS and DUNE. The software is distributed both as native packages and specialized production containers. Following an approach used in other communities…
Quantum computing promises to tackle technological and industrial problems insurmountable for classical computers. However, today's quantum computers still have limited demonstrable functionality, and it is expected that scaling up to…
Sensitive computation often has to be performed in a trusted execution environment (TEE), which, in turn, requires tamper-proof hardware. If the computational fabric can be tampered with, we may no longer be able to trust the correctness of…
Cloud computing helps reduce costs, increase business agility and deploy solutions with a high return on investment for many types of applications, including data warehouses and on-line analytical processing. However, storing and…
Today's mobile devices sense, collect, and store huge amounts of personal information, which users share with family and friends through a wide range of applications. Once users give applications access to their data, they must implicitly…
In the evolving landscape of workplace dynamics, the shift towards hybrid working models has highlighted inefficiencies in the use of traditional office space and the need for an improved employee experience. In this position paper we…
The growth of cloud computing has revolutionized data processing and storage capacities to another levels of scalability and flexibility. But in the process, it has created a huge challenge of security, especially in terms of safeguarding…
Cloud computing has made it possible for a user to be able to select a computing service precisely when needed. However, certain factors such as security of data and regulatory issues will impact a user's choice of using such a service. A…
Interoperability remains the key problem in multi-discipline collaboration based on building information modeling (BIM). Although various methods have been proposed to solve the technical issues of interoperability, such as data sharing and…
Computational privacy is a property of cryptographic system that ensures the privacy of data being processed at an untrusted server. Fully Homomorphic Encryption Schemes (FHE) promise to provide such property. Contemporary FHE schemes are…
This paper presents the "isolate first, then share" OS model in which the processor cores, memory, and devices are divided up between disparate OS instances and a new abstraction, subOS, is proposed to encapsulate an OS instance that can be…
In this paper we propose a data dissemination platform that supports data security and different privacy levels even when the platform and the data are hosted by untrusted infrastructures. The proposed system aims at enabling an application…
We discuss a Quantum-Enhanced Computing Continuum, a heterogeneous, hybrid architecture that integrates quantum processing units (QPUs) within an Edge-Cloud-HPC fabric. Promote sustainability by shifting from performance to "energy-aware…
Computer-use agents increasingly operate inside live personal workspaces, where their actions can modify files, applications, GUI state, credentials, and authenticated sessions. This creates a tension between safety and quality: agents need…
Although cloud storage platforms promise a convenient way for users to share files and engage in collaborations, they require all files to have a single owner who unilaterally makes access control decisions. Existing clouds are, thus,…
Stringent latency requirements in advanced Internet of Things (IoT) applications as well as an increased load on cloud data centers have prompted a move towards a more decentralized approach, bringing storage and processing of IoT data…
Data sharing among partners---users, organizations, companies---is crucial for the advancement of data analytics in many domains. Sharing through secure computation and differential privacy allows these partners to perform private…
The fragmented nature and asymmetry of local and remote file access and network access, combined with the current lack of robust authenticity and privacy, hamstrings the current internet. The collection of disjoint and often ad-hoc…
