With the growing demand for data connectivity, network service providers are faced with the task of reducing their capital and operational expenses while simultaneously improving network performance and addressing the increased connectivity…
Middleboxes or network appliances like firewalls, proxies and WAN optimizers have become an integral part of today's ISP and enterprise networks. Middlebox functionalities are usually deployed on expensive and proprietary hardware that…
The Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm is enabling flexibility, programmability and implementation of traditional network functions into generic hardware, in form of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). To provide services, the…
In this paper, we study the problem of delay minimization in NFV-based networks. In such systems, the ultimate goal of any request is to compute a sequence of functions in the network, where each function can be computed at only a specific…
Envy-freeness is one of the most prominent fairness concepts in the allocation of indivisible goods. Even though trivial envy-free allocations always exist, rich literature shows this is not true when one additionally requires some…
This work proposes an energy-efficient resource provisioning and allocation framework to meet the dynamic demands of future applications. The frequent variations in a cloud user's resource demand lead 'to the problem of excess power…
We consider robust resource allocation of services in Clouds. More specifically, we consider the case of a large public or private Cloud platform that runs a relatively small set of large and independent services. These services are…
Applications are sets of interacting components that can be executed in sequence, in parallel, or by using more complex constructs such as selections and loops. They can, therefore, be modeled as structured graphs with sub-structures…
Network functions virtualization (NFV) enables telecommunications service providers to realize various network services by flexibly combining multiple virtual network functions (VNFs). To provide such services, an NFV control method should…
Resource sharing among users serves as the foundation of cloud computing, which, however, may also cause vulnerabilities to diverse co-residence attacks launched by malicious virtual machines (VM) residing in the same physical server with…
It is expected that the next generation cellular networks provide a connected society with fully mobility to empower the socio-economic transformation. Several other technologies will benefits of this evolution, such as Internet of Things,…
We consider the problem of dividing limited resources between a set of agents arriving sequentially with unknown (stochastic) utilities. Our goal is to find a fair allocation - one that is simultaneously Pareto-efficient and envy-free. When…
Exploiting the great expressive power of Deep Neural Network architectures, relies on the ability to train them. While current theoretical work provides, mostly, results showing the hardness of this task, empirical evidence usually differs…
Today, network devices share buffer across priority queues to avoid drops during transient congestion. While cost-effective most of the time, this sharing can cause undesired interference among seemingly independent traffic. As a result,…
Disaggregated storage systems improve resource utilization and enable independent scaling of storage and compute resources by separating storage resources from computing resources in data centers. NVMe over fabrics (NVMeoF) is a key…
The performance of computer networks relies on how bandwidth is shared among different flows. Fair resource allocation is a challenging problem particularly when the flows evolve over time.To address this issue, bandwidth sharing techniques…
Network virtualization enables Internet service providers to run multiple heterogeneous and dedicated network architectures for different customers on a shared substrate. In existing works on virtual network embedding (VNE), each customer…
Development of autonomous and self-driving vehicles requires agile and reliable services to manage hazardous road situations. Vehicular Network is the medium that can provide high-quality services for self-driving vehicles. The majority of…
Partial sharing allows providers to possibly pool a fraction of their resources when full pooling is not beneficial to them. Recent work in systems without sharing has shown that redundancy can improve performance considerably. In this…
Today's cloud networks are shared among many tenants. Bandwidth guarantees and work conservation are two key properties to ensure predictable performance for tenant applications and high network utilization for providers. Despite…
