In NFV networks, service functions (SFs) can be deployed on virtual machines (VMs) across multiple domains and then form a service function chain (MSFC) for end-to-end network service provision. However, any software component in a VM-based…
Container technology, as the key enabler behind microservice architectures, is widely applied in Cloud and Edge Computing. A long and continuous running of operating system (OS) host-ing container-based services can encounter software aging…
The metadata service (MDS) sits on the critical path for distributed file system (DFS) operations, and therefore it is key to the overall performance of a large-scale DFS. Common "serverful" MDS architectures, such as a single server or…
This work proposes a novel framework to dynamically and effectively manage and allocate different types of resources for Metaverse applications, which are forecasted to demand massive resources of various types that have never been seen…
Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling is essential for enhancing energy efficiency in mobile platforms. However, traditional heuristic-based governors are increasingly inadequate for managing the complexity of heterogeneous System-on-Chip…
Many large-scale software systems demonstrate metastable failures. In this class of failures, a stressor such as a temporary spike in workload causes the system performance to drop and, subsequently, the system performance continues to…
Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a Serverless Cloud paradigm where a platform manages the scheduling (e.g., resource allocation, runtime environments) of stateless functions. Recent work proposed using domain-specific languages to express…
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a new software delivery model in which pre-built applications are delivered to customers as a service. SaaS providers aim to attract a large number of tenants (users) with minimal system modifications to meet…
Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a Serverless Cloud paradigm where a platform manages the execution scheduling (e.g., resource allocation, runtime environments) of stateless functions. Recent developments demonstrate the benefits of using…
Timely updating of Internet of Things data is crucial for achieving immersion in vehicular metaverse services. However, challenges such as latency caused by massive data transmissions, privacy risks associated with user data, and…
Network softwarization is one of the major paradigm shifts in the next generation of networks. It enables programmable and flexible management and deployment of the network. Network function virtualization (NFV) is referred to the…
The applications that are deployed in the cloud to provide services to the users encompass a large number of interconnected dependent cloud components. Multiple identical components are scheduled to run concurrently in order to handle…
The social metaverse is a growing digital ecosystem that blends virtual and physical worlds. It allows users to interact socially, work, shop, and enjoy entertainment. However, privacy remains a major challenge, as immersive interactions…
