Data processing systems are increasingly deployed in the cloud. While monolithic systems run fully on virtual servers, recent systems embrace cloud infrastructure and utilize the disaggregation of compute and storage to scale them…
Increasing popularity of the serverless computing approach has led to the emergence of new cloud infrastructures working in Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) model like AWS Fargate, Google Cloud Run, or Azure Container Instances. They introduce…
Serverless computing with cloud functions is quickly gaining adoption, but constrains programmers with its limited support for state management. We introduce a shared file system for cloud functions. It offers familiar POSIX semantics while…
Public opinion shapes policy, yet capturing it effectively to surface diverse perspectives remains challenging. This paper introduces PolicyPulse, an LLM-powered interactive system that synthesizes public experiences from online community…
In this paper we investigate a new computing paradigm, called SocialCloud, in which computing nodes are governed by social ties driven from a bootstrapping trust-possessing social graph. We investigate how this paradigm differs from…
Cloud computing offers an opportunity to run compute-resource intensive climate models at scale by parallelising model runs such that datasets useful to the exoplanet community can be produced efficiently. To better understand the…
Data management can be a complex challenge in fields such as bioinformatics and health sciences, which continuously generate extensive heterogeneous datasets. In the context of collaborative global health initiatives, secure storage and…
Extending LLM context windows is hindered by scarce high-quality long-context data. Recent methods synthesize data with genuine long-range dependencies via information-theoretic verification, selecting contexts that reduce a base model's…
As more applications are being moved to the Cloud thanks to serverless computing, it is increasingly necessary to support the native life cycle execution of those applications in the data center. But existing cloud orchestration systems…
Serverless computing is a widely adopted cloud execution model composed of Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) offerings. The increased level of abstraction makes vendor lock-in inherent to serverless computing,…
Although the cloud has reached a state of robustness, the burden of using its resources falls on the shoulders of programmers who struggle to keep up with ever-growing cloud infrastructure services and abstractions. As a result, state…
Serverless computing has emerged as a prominent paradigm, with a significant adoption rate among cloud customers. While this model offers advantages such as abstraction from the deployment and resource scheduling, it also poses limitations…
Serverless computing has become a major trend among cloud providers. With serverless computing, developers fully delegate the task of managing the servers, dynamically allocating the required resources, as well as handling availability and…
Serverless architectures organized around loosely-coupled function invocations represent an emerging design for many applications. Recent work mostly focuses on user-facing products and event-driven processing pipelines. In this paper, we…
Generative systems have a significant potential to synthesize innovative design alternatives. Still, most of the common systems that have been adopted in design require the designer to explicitly define the specifications of the procedures…
Distributed digital infrastructures for computation and analytics are now evolving towards an interconnected ecosystem allowing complex applications to be executed from IoT Edge devices to the HPC Cloud (aka the Computing Continuum, the…
Data-driven research is increasingly ubiquitous and data itself is a defining asset for researchers, particularly in the computational social sciences and humanities. Entire careers and research communities are built around valuable,…
Serverless computing has emerged as an attractive deployment option for cloud applications in recent times. The unique features of this computing model include, rapid auto-scaling, strong isolation, fine-grained billing options and access…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into real-world decision-making, including in the domain of public policy. Yet, their ability to comprehend and reason about policy-related content remains underexplored. To fill this…
The software behind online community platforms encodes a governance model that represents a strikingly narrow set of governance possibilities focused on moderators and administrators. When online communities desire other forms of…
