Database platform-as-a-service (dbPaaS) is developing rapidly and a large number of databases have been migrated to run on the Clouds for the low cost and flexibility. Emerging Clouds rely on the tenants to provide the resource…
Unstructured data refers to information that does not have a predefined data model or is not organized in a pre-defined manner. Loosely speaking, unstructured data refers to text data that is generated by humans. In after-sales service…
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms integrate and orchestrate a wide variety of security tools to accelerate the operational activities of Security Operation Center (SOC). Integration of security tools in a…
Performance monitoring, anomaly detection, and root-cause analysis in complex cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are often highly intractable due to widely diverse operational modes, disparate data types, and complex fault propagation…
Performance unpredictability is a major roadblock towards cloud adoption, and has performance, cost, and revenue ramifications. Predictable performance is even more critical as cloud services transition from monolithic designs to…
Service reliability is one of the key challenges that cloud providers have to deal with. In cloud systems, unplanned service failures may cause severe cascading impacts on their dependent services, deteriorating customer satisfaction.…
As contemporary microservice systems become increasingly popular and complex-often comprising hundreds or even thousands of fine-grained, interdependent subsystems-they are facing more frequent failures. Ensuring system reliability thus…
With the rapid proliferation of streaming services, network load exhibits highly time-varying and bursty behavior, posing serious challenges for maintaining Quality of Service (QoS) in Crowdsourced Cloud-Edge Platforms (CCPs). While CCPs…
Unresolved production cloud incidents cost an average of over $2M per hour. This paper introduces PRAXIS, an orchestrator that manages and deploys an agentic workflow for diagnosing code- and configuration-caused cloud incidents. PRAXIS…
Edge computing enables data processing closer to the source, significantly reducing latency, an essential requirement for real-time vision-based analytics such as object detection in surveillance and smart city environments. However, these…
Sequential Recommender Systems (SRSs) have emerged as a highly efficient approach to recommendation systems. By leveraging sequential data, SRSs can identify temporal patterns in user behaviour, significantly improving recommendation…
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…
Serverless computing has matured into an effective execution model for edge cloud environments, enabling function level decomposition, demand driven scaling, and workflow execution across stable, well provisioned infrastructure. This…
The advent of Cloud Computing enabled the proliferation of IoT applications for smart environments. However, the distance of these resources makes them unsuitable for delay-sensitive applications. Hence, Fog Computing has emerged to provide…
Offloading resource-intensive jobs to the cloud and nearby users is a promising approach to enhance mobile devices. This paper investigates a hybrid offloading system that takes both infrastructure-based networks and Ad-hoc networks into…
Cloud-enabled large-scale distributed systems orchestrate resources and services from various providers in order to deliver high-quality software solutions to the end users. The space and structure created by such technological advancements…
During a disaster scenario, situational awareness information, such as location, physical status and images of the surrounding area, is essential for minimizing loss of life, injury, and property damage. Today's handhelds make it easy for…
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) is a vulnerability class that has become prominent in recent years. Attackers can weaponize such weaknesses as part of asymmetric cyberattacks that exploit the slow worst-case matching time of…
Modern-day cars are equipped with numerous cameras and sensors, typically integrated with advanced decision-control systems that enable the vehicle to perceive its surroundings and navigate autonomously. Efficient processing of data from…
The reliability of cloud platforms is of significant relevance because society increasingly relies on complex software systems running on the cloud. To improve it, cloud providers are automating various maintenance tasks, with failure…
