Vertical federated learning (VFL) is an emerging paradigm that allows different parties (e.g., organizations or enterprises) to collaboratively build machine learning models with privacy protection. In the training phase, VFL only exchanges…
Scheduling the transmission of time-sensitive data to multiple users over error-prone communication channels is studied with the goal of minimizing the long-term average age of information (AoI) at the users under a constraint on the…
The lock is a building-block synchronization primitive that enables mutually exclusive access to shared data in shared-memory parallel programs. Mutual exclusion is typically achieved by guarding the code that accesses the shared data with…
Common implementations of core memory allocation components, like the Linux buddy system, handle concurrent allocation/release requests by synchronizing threads via spin-locks. This approach is clearly not prone to scale with large thread…
Federated learning (FL) is a machine learning model that preserves data privacy in the training process. Specifically, FL brings the model directly to the user equipments (UEs) for local training, where an edge server periodically collects…
We study the version age of information in a multi-hop multi-cast cache-enabled network, where updates at the source are marked with incrementing version numbers, and the inter-update times on the links are not necessarily exponentially…
In this paper, we consider a transmission scheduling problem, in which several streams of status update packets with diverse priority levels are sent through a shared channel to their destinations. We introduce a notion of Lexicographic age…
We study federated learning (FL), which enables mobile devices to utilize their local datasets to collaboratively train a global model with the help of a central server, while keeping data localized. At each iteration, the server broadcasts…
We investigate the rate distortion tradeoff in private read update write (PRUW) in relation to federated submodel learning (FSL). In FSL a machine learning (ML) model is divided into multiple submodels based on different types of data used…
Age-of-information (AoI) is a novel metric that measures the freshness of information in status update scenarios. It is essential for real-time applications to transmit status update packets to the destination node as timely as possible.…
Emerging real-time applications have driven the transition to multicore embedded systems, where tasks must share resources due to functional demands and limited availability. These resources, whether local or global, are protected within…

Existing Large Language Models (LLMs) usually remain static after deployment, which might make it hard to inject new knowledge into the model. We aim to build models containing a considerable portion of self-updatable parameters, enabling…
Remote direct memory access (RDMA) networks are being rapidly adopted into industry for their high speed, low latency, and reduced CPU overheads compared to traditional kernel-based TCP/IP networks. RDMA enables threads to access remote…
As Federated Learning (FL) expands to larger and more distributed environments, consistency in training is challenged by network-induced delays, clock unsynchronicity, and variability in client updates. This combination of factors may…
Reed-Solomon (RS) codes have been increasingly adopted by distributed storage systems in place of replication,because they provide the same level of availability with much lower storage overhead. However, a key drawback of those RS-coded…
Age of Information is a measure of the freshness of status updates in monitoring applications and update-based systems. We study a real-time remote sensing scenario with a sensor which is restricted by time-varying energy constraints and…
