Shared e-mobility services have been widely tested and piloted in cities across the globe, and already woven into the fabric of modern urban planning. This paper studies a practical yet important problem in those systems: how to deploy and…

Scientific applications in HPC environment are more com-plex and more data-intensive nowadays. Scientists usually rely on workflow system to manage the complexity: simply define multiple processing steps into a single script and let the…

Cloud computing is a powerful new technology that is widely used in the business world. Recently, we have been investigating the benefits it offers to scientific computing. We have used three workflow applications to compare the performance…

In the last few decades, data center architecture evolved from the traditional client-server to access-aggregation-core architectures. Recently there is a new shift in the data center architecture due to the increasing need for low latency…

Inter-datacenter networks connect dozens of geographically dispersed datacenters and carry traffic flows with highly variable sizes and different classes. Adaptive flow routing can improve efficiency and performance by assigning paths to…

Cloud providers, like Amazon, offer their data centers' computational and storage capacities for lease to paying customers. High electricity consumption, associated with running a data center, not only reflects on its carbon footprint, but…

Real-time applications in the next generation networks often rely upon offloading the computational task to a \textit{nearby} server to achieve ultra-low latency. Augmented reality applications for instance have strict latency requirements…

Parallel dataflow systems are a central part of most analytic pipelines for big data. The iterative nature of many analysis and machine learning algorithms, however, is still a challenge for current systems. While certain types of bulk…

When a network application is implmented as a virtual machine on a cloud and is used by a large number of users, the location of the virtual machine should be selected carefully so that the response time experienced by users is minimized.…

Resource limited user-devices may offload computation to a cloud server, in order to reduce power consumption and lower the execution time. However, to communicate to the cloud server over a wireless channel, additional energy is consumed…

Many extreme-scale applications require the movement of large quantities of data to, from, and among leadership computing facilities, as well as other scientific facilities and the home institutions of facility users. These applications,…
