Modern software development and operations rely on monitoring to understand how systems behave in production. The data provided by application logs and runtime environment are essential to detect and diagnose undesired behavior and improve…
Internet-connected smart devices are increasing at an exponential rate. These powerful devices have created a yet-untapped pool of idle resources that can be utilised, among others, for processing data in resource-depleted environments. The…
Serverless computing enables developers to deploy code without managing infrastructure, but suffers from cold start overhead when initializing new function instances. Existing solutions such as "keep-alive" or "pre-warming" are costly and…
At present organizations try to achieve competitive advantages using information technology (IT). Organizations not only use Information technology to manage their internal operations but also to collaborate with their customers and…
Serverless computing has redefined cloud application deployment by abstracting infrastructure and enabling on-demand, event-driven execution, thereby enhancing developer agility and scalability. However, maintaining consistent application…
Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging technique that provides a unique real-time experience for users. VR technologies have provided revolutionary user experiences in various scenarios (e.g., training, education, product/architecture design,…
Online games with modifiable virtual environments (MVEs) have become highly popular over the past decade. Among them, Minecraft -- supporting hundreds of millions of users -- is the best-selling game of all time, and is increasingly offered…
Sandboxing restricts what applications do, and prevents exploited processes being abused; yet relatively few applications get sandboxed: why? We report a usability trial with 7 experienced Seccomp developers exploring how they approached…
Serverless computing promises convenient abstractions for developing and deploying functions that execute in response to events. In such Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, scheduling is an integral task, but current scheduling…
We argue that immature data pipelines are preventing a large portion of industry practitioners from leveraging the latest research on recommender systems. We propose our template data stack for machine learning at "reasonable scale", and…
Access transparency means that both local and remote resources are accessed using identical operations. With transparency, unmodified single-machine applications could run over disaggregated compute, storage, and memory resources. Hiding…
As data-intensive applications grow, batch processing in limited-resource environments faces scalability and resource management challenges. Serverless computing offers a flexible alternative, enabling dynamic resource allocation and…
Cloud computing has achieved an unbelievable adoption response rate but still its infancy stage is not over. It is an emerging paradigm and amazingly gaining popularity. The size of the market shared of the applications provided by cloud…
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a type of software service delivery model which encompasses a broad range of business opportunities and challenges. Users and service providers are reluctant to integrate their business into SaaS due to its…
Recent developments in the world of services on the Web show that both the number of available Web APIs as well as the applications built on top is constantly increasing. This trend is commonly attributed to the wide adoption of the REST…
Organisations are increasingly putting machine learning models into production at scale. The increasing popularity of serverless scale-to-zero paradigms presents an opportunity for deploying machine learning models to help mitigate…
Virtualization technology facilitates a dynamic, demand-driven allocation and migration of servers. This paper studies how the flexibility offered by network virtualization can be used to improve Quality-of-Service parameters such as…
With the ever increasing demands of cloud computing services, planning and management of cloud resources has become a more and more important issue which directed affects the resource utilization and SLA and customer satisfaction. But…
