The pervasive use of hybrid cloud computing models has changed enterprise as well as Information Technology services infrastructure by giving businesses simple and cost-effective options of combining on-premise IT equipment with public…
Modern scientific instruments generate data at rates that increasingly exceed local compute capabilities and, when paired with the staging and I/O overheads of file-based transfers, also render file-based use of remote HPC resources…
Cloud services and other shared third-party infrastructures allow individual content providers to easily scale their services based on current resource demands. In this paper, we consider an individual content provider that wants to…
Many applications from various disciplines are now required to analyze fast evolving big data in real time. Various approaches for incremental processing of queries have been proposed over the years. Traditional approaches rely on updating…
Many real-world applications pose challenges in incorporating fairness constraints into the $k$-center clustering problem, where the dataset consists of $m$ demographic groups, each with a specified upper bound on the number of centers to…
In conventional HTTP-based adaptive streaming (HAS), a video source is encoded at multiple levels of constant bitrate representations, and a client makes its representation selections according to the measured network bandwidth. While…
Encryption on the internet with the shift to HTTPS has been an important step to improve the privacy of internet users. However, there is an increasing body of work about extracting information from encrypted internet traffic without having…
With an ever increasing demand for the delivery of internet video service, the service providers are facing a huge challenge to deliver ultra-HD (2k/4k) video at sub-second latency. The multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform actually…
Multimedia conferencing is the conversational exchange of multimedia content between multiple parties. It has a wide range of applications (e.g., Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) and distance learning). Media handling services…
Autoregressive models, often built on Transformer architectures, represent a powerful paradigm for generating ultra-long videos by synthesizing content in sequential chunks. However, this sequential generation process is notoriously slow.…
We consider the problem of simultaneous on-demand streaming of stored video to multiple users in a multi-cell wireless network where multiple unicast streaming sessions are run in parallel and share the same frequency band. Each streaming…
Motivated by the trend to outsource work to commercial cloud computing services, we consider a variation of the streaming paradigm where a streaming algorithm can be assisted by a powerful helper that can provide annotations to the data…
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…
The enormous data volume of video poses a significant burden on the network. Particularly, transferring high-definition surveillance videos to the cloud consumes a significant amount of spectrum resources. To address these issues, we…
Video privacy leakage is becoming an increasingly severe public problem, especially in cloud-based video surveillance systems. It leads to the new need for secure cloud-based video applications, where the video is encrypted for privacy…
This paper tackles a new problem in computer vision: mid-stream video-to-video retrieval. This task, which consists in searching a database for content similar to a video right as it is playing, e.g. from a live stream, exhibits challenging…
Cloud computing is widely adopted by corporate as well as retail customers to reduce the upfront cost of establishing computing infrastructure. However, switching to the cloud based services poses a multitude of questions, both for…
Wireless edge networks are promising to provide better video streaming services to mobile users by provisioning computing and storage resources at the edge of wireless network. However, due to the diversity of user interests, user devices,…
The demand and usage of 360$^{\circ}$ video services are expected to increase. However, despite these services being highly bandwidth intensive, not much is known about the potential value that basic bandwidth saving techniques such as…
Social media data is now widely used by many academic researchers. However, long-term social media data collection projects, which most typically involve collecting data from public-use APIs, often encounter issues when relying on…
