Efficient data access in High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems is essential to the performance of intensive computing tasks. Traditional optimizations of the I/O stack aim to improve peak performance but are often workload specific and…
The Software Transactional Memory (STM) model is an original approach for controlling concurrent accesses to ressources without the need for explicit lock-based synchronization mechanisms. A key feature of STM is to provide a way to group…
In data centers, the nature of the composite bursty traffic along with the small bandwidth-delay product and switch buffers lead to several congestion problems that are not handled well by traditional congestion control mechanisms such as…
We address the problem of executing large client orders in continuous double-auction markets under time and liquidity constraints. We propose a model predictive control (MPC) framework that balances three competing objectives: order…
Congestion Control (CC) plays a fundamental role in optimizing traffic in Data Center Networks (DCN). Currently, DCNs mainly implement two main CC protocols: DCTCP and DCQCN. Both protocols -- and their main variants -- are based on…
Recent global and local phenomena have exposed vulnerabilities in critical supply chain networks (SCNs), drawing significant attention from researchers across various fields. Typically, SCNs are viewed as static entities regularly optimized…
Causal consistency is an intermediate consistency model that can be achieved together with high availability and performance requirements even in presence of network partitions. In the context of partitioned data stores, it has been shown…
Traditional blockchain design gives miners or validators full control over transaction ordering, i.e., they can freely choose which transactions to include or exclude, as well as in which order. While not an issue initially, the emergence…
Deploying models on target domain data subject to distribution shift requires adaptation. Test-time training (TTT) emerges as a solution to this adaptation under a realistic scenario where access to full source domain data is not available,…
Utilizing non-concurrent control data (NCC) in the analysis of late-entering arms in platform trials has recently received considerable attention. While incorporating NCC can lead to increased power and lower sample sizes, it might…
In this paper, we develop RCC, the first unified and comprehensive RDMA-enabled distributed transaction processing framework supporting six serializable concurrency control protocols: not only the classical protocols NOWAIT, WAITDIE, and…
Causal consistency is an attractive consistency model for replicated data stores. It is provably the strongest model that tolerates partitions, it avoids the long latencies associated with strong consistency, and, especially when using…
Serializability is a well-understood concurrency control mechanism that eases reasoning about highly-concurrent database programs. Unfortunately, enforcing serializability has a high-performance cost, especially on geographically…
Bidding in real-time auctions can be a difficult stochastic control task; especially if underdelivery incurs strong penalties and the market is very uncertain. Most current works and implementations focus on optimally delivering a campaign…
Platform trials can evaluate the efficacy of several treatments compared to a control. The number of treatments is not fixed, as arms may be added or removed as the trial progresses. Platform trials are more efficient than independent…
The software supply chain (SSC) attack has become one of the crucial issues that are being increased rapidly with the advancement of the software development domain. In general, SSC attacks execute during the software development processes…
Networked control systems (NCS) have attracted considerable attention in recent years. While the stabilizability and optimal control of NCS for a given communication system has already been studied extensively, the design of the…
Multi-versioned database systems have the potential to significantly increase the amount of concurrency in transaction processing because they can avoid read-write conflicts. Unfortunately, the increase in concurrency usually comes at the…
In this paper, we address the problem of controlling a system over an unreliable connection that is affected by time-varying delays and randomly occurring packet losses. A novel sequence-based approach is proposed that extends a given…
The issues of stochastically varying network delays and packet dropouts in Networked Control System (NCS) applications have been simultaneously addressed by time domain optimal tuning of fractional order (FO) PID controllers. Different…
