In order to address the complexity and extensiveness of technology, Cloud Computing is utilized with four main service models. The most recent service model, function-as-a-service, enables developers to develop their application in a…

Serverless computing has seen rapid adoption due to its high scalability and flexible, pay-as-you-go billing model. In serverless, developers structure their services as a collection of functions, sporadically invoked by various events like…

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is one form of the serverless cloud computing paradigm and is defined through FaaS platforms (e.g., AWS Lambda) executing event-triggered code snippets (i.e., functions). Many studies that empirically evaluate…

Hardware accelerators like GPUs are now ubiquitous in data centers, but are not fully supported by common cloud abstractions such as Functions as a Service (FaaS). Many popular and emerging FaaS applications such as machine learning and…

Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a Serverless Cloud paradigm where a platform manages the scheduling (e.g., resource allocation, runtime environments) of stateless functions. Recent work proposed using domain-specific languages to express…

Cloud computing, offering on-demand access to computing resources through the Internet and the pay-as-you-go model, has marked the last decade with its three main service models; Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service…

AI agents are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, where malicious content hijacks agent behavior to steal credentials or cause financial loss. The only known robust defense is architectural isolation that strictly separates trusted task…

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) has recently emerged as a new cloud computing paradigm. It promises high utilization of data center resources through allocating resources on demand at per-function request granularity. High cold-start…

Open-source 5G core implementations deploy network functions as always-on processes that consume resources even when idle. This inefficiency is most acute in private and edge deployments with sporadic traffic. Serverless5GC is an…

Function as a Service (FaaS) paradigm is becoming widespread and is envisioned as the next generation of cloud systems that mitigate the burden for programmers and cloud solution architects. However, the FaaS abstraction only makes the…

The A2AS framework is introduced as a security layer for AI agents and LLM-powered applications, similar to how HTTPS secures HTTP. A2AS enforces certified behavior, activates model self-defense, and ensures context window integrity. It…

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is increasingly popular in the software industry due to the implied cost-savings in event-driven workloads and its synergy with DevOps. To size an on-premise FaaS platform, it is important to estimate the…

Serverless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms provide applications with resources that are highly elastic, quick to instantiate, accounted at fine granularity, and without the need for explicit runtime resource orchestration. This…

The Serverless Computing is becoming increasingly popular due to its ease of use and fine-grained billing. These features make it appealing for stateful application or serverless workflow. However, current serverless workflow systems…

FaaS allows an application to be decomposed into functions that are executed on a FaaS platform. The FaaS platform is responsible for the resource provisioning of the functions. Recently, there is a growing trend towards the execution of…

Nowadays, tiered architectures are widely accepted for constructing large scale information systems. In this context application servers often form the bottleneck for a system's efficiency. An application server exposes an object oriented…

Developing stateful cloud applications, such as low-latency workflows and microservices with strict consistency requirements, remains arduous for programmers. The Stateful Functions-as-a-Service (SFaaS) paradigm aims to serve these use…

Serverless computing, or Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), enables a new way of building and scaling applications by allowing users to deploy fine-grained functions while providing fully-managed resource provisioning and auto-scaling. Custom…

Modern cloud computing advances have been pressing application modernization in the last 15 years, stressing the need for application redesign towards the use of more distributed and ephemeral resources. From the initial IaaS and PaaS…

FaaS offers significant advantages with its infrastructure abstraction, on-demand execution, and attractive no idle resource pricing for modern cloud applications. Despite these benefits, challenges such as startup latencies, static…
