As financial institutions increasingly rely on machine learning models to automate lending decisions, concerns about algorithmic fairness have risen. This paper explores the tradeoff between enforcing fairness constraints (such as…

Queue length monitoring is a commonly arising problem in numerous applications such as queue management systems, scheduling, and traffic monitoring. Motivated by such applications, we formulate a queue monitoring problem, where there is a…

The computing in the network (COIN) paradigm has emerged as a potential solution for computation-intensive applications like the metaverse by utilizing unused network resources. The blockchain (BC) guarantees task-offloading privacy, but…

The limit order book mechanism has been the core trading mechanism of the modern financial market. In the cryptocurrency market, centralized exchanges also adopt this limit order book mechanism and a centralized matching engine dynamically…

We consider robust resource allocation of services in Clouds. More specifically, we consider the case of a large public or private Cloud platform that runs a relatively small set of large and independent services. These services are…

Cloud computing is an emerging technology in distributed computing which facilitates pay per model as per user demand and requirement.Cloud consist of a collection of virtual machine which includes both computational and storage facility.…

Distributed fog and edge applications communicate over unreliable networks and are subject to high communication delays. This makes using existing distributed coordination technologies from cloud applications infeasible, as they are built…

Network virtualization and programmability allow operators to deploy a wide range of services over a common physical infrastructure and elastically allocate cloud and network resources according to changing requirements. While the elastic…

Cloud computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm, now proving a necessity for utility computing services. Each provider offers a unique service portfolio with a range of resource configurations. Resource provisioning for cloud…

With the rapidly growing demand for the cloud services, a need for efficient methods to trade computing resources increases. Commonly used fixed-price model is not always the best approach for trading cloud resources, because of its…

Distributed Denial of Service attacks have become a significant threat to industries and governments leading to substantial financial losses. With the growing reliance on internet services, DDoS attacks can disrupt services by overwhelming…

Many cloud service providers (CSPs) provide on-demand service at a price with a small delay. We propose a QoS-differentiated model where multiple SLAs deliver both on-demand service for latency-critical users and delayed services for…

We construct a privacy-preserving, distributed and decentralized marketplace where parties can exchange data for tokens. In this market, buyers and sellers make transactions in a blockchain and interact with a third party, called notary,…

In the load balancing problem, each node in a network is assigned a load, and the goal is to equally distribute the loads among the nodes, by preforming local load exchanges. While load balancing was extensively studied in static networks,…

Algorithmic decision making systems are ubiquitous across a wide variety of online as well as offline services. These systems rely on complex learning methods and vast amounts of data to optimize the service functionality, satisfaction of…

The Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) aims at fair and efficient medium access in IEEE 802.11. In face of its success, it is remarkable that there is little consensus on the actual degree of fairness achieved, particularly bearing its…

In this paper, we intend to reduce the operational cost of cloud data centers with the help of fog devices, which can avoid the revenue loss due to wide-area network propagation delay and save network bandwidth cost by serving nearby cloud…

This paper studies how to aggregate prosumers (or large consumers) and their collective decisions in electricity markets, with a focus on fairness. Fairness is essential for prosumers to participate in aggregation schemes. Some prosumers…

Cloud computing technology provides the means to share physical resources among multiple users and data center tenants by exposing them as virtual resources. There is a strong industrial drive to use similar technology and concepts to…

The increasing momentum of service-oriented architecture has led to the emergence of divergent delivered services, where service selection is meritedly required to obtain the target service fulfilling the requirements from both users and…
