Cloud computing is making it possible to separate the process of building an infrastructure for service provisioning from the business of providing end user services. Today, such infrastructures are normally provided in large data centres…
The base motivation of Mobile Cloud Computing was empowering mobile devices by application offloading onto powerful cloud resources. However, this goal can't entirely be reached because of the high offloading cost imposed by the long…
Modern Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) include applications like smart traffic, smart agriculture, smart power grid, etc. Commonly, these systems are distributed and composed of end-user applications and microservices that typically run in the…
Recent literature including our past work provide analysis and solutions for using (i) erasure coding, (ii) parallelism, or (iii) variable slicing/chunking (i.e., dividing an object of a specific size into a variable number of smaller…
The evolution of Web and service technologies has led to a wide landscape of standards and protocols for interaction between loosely coupled software components. Examples range from Web applications, mashups, apps, and mobile devices to…
This paper presents MAMoC, a framework which brings together a diverse range of infrastructure types including mobile devices, cloudlets, and remote cloud resources under one unified API. MAMoC allows mobile applications to leverage the…
Cyber-physical systems increasingly rely on distributed computing platforms where sensing, computing, actuation, and communication resources are shared by a multitude of applications. Such `cyber-physical cloud computing platforms' present…
Service mesh is getting widely adopted as the cloud-native mechanism for traffic management in microservice-based applications, in particular for generic IT workloads hosted in more centralized cloud environments. Performance-demanding…
Today, considerable Internet traffic is sent from the datacenter and heads for users. The characteristics of connections served by servers in datacenters are usually diverse and varied over time, with continuous upgrades in network…
Despite essential efforts towards advanced wireless medical devices for regular monitoring of blood properties, many such devices are not available or not affordable for everyone in many countries. Alternatively using ordinary devices,…
The emerging 5G paradigm will enable multi-radio smartphones to run high-rate stream applications. However, since current smartphones remain resource and battery-limited, the 5G era opens new challenges on how to actually support these…
Modern digital services have evolved into indispensable tools, driving the present large-scale information systems. Yet, the prevailing platform-centric model, where services are optimized for platform-driven metrics such as engagement and…
We propose a novel integrated fog cloud IoT (IFCIoT) architectural paradigm that promises increased performance, energy efficiency, reduced latency, quicker response time, scalability, and better localized accuracy for future IoT…
There is an exponential growth of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These have given rise to applications that rely on real time data to make critical decisions quickly. Enterprises today are adopting cloud at a rapid pace. There…
Cloud Manufacturing (CM) is the concept of using manufacturing resources in a service oriented way over the Internet. Recent developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM) are making it possible to utilise resources ad-hoc as replacement for…
Huge energy consumption poses a significant challenge for edge clouds. In response to this, we introduce a new type of edge server, namely SoC Cluster, that orchestrates multiple low-power mobile system-on-chips (SoCs) through an on-chip…
The advancements of cloud computing came as a radical transformation in the way Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services are deployed and maintained. Cloud computing provides ubiquitous on-demand access to an Internet-based…
Prior to the advent of the cloud, storage and processing services were accommodated by specialized hardware, however, this approach introduced a number of challenges in terms of scalability, energy efficiency, and cost. Then came the…
Excessive tail end-to-end latency occurs with conventional message brokers as a result of having massive numbers of geographically distributed devices communicate through a message broker. On the other hand, broker-less messaging systems,…
Computation task service delivery in a computing-enabled and caching-aided multi-user mobile edge computing (MEC) system is studied in this paper, where a MEC server can deliver the input or output datas of tasks to mobile devices over a…
