Large swarms of autonomous devices are increasing in size and importance. When it comes to controlling the devices of large-scale swarms there are two main lines of thought. Centralized control, where all decisions - and often compute -…
The paper focuses on a heterogeneous swarm of drones to achieve a dynamic landing of formation on a moving robot. This challenging task was not yet achieved by scientists. The key technology is that instead of facilitating each agent of the…
Over the Internet today, computing and communications environments are significantly more complex and chaotic than classical distributed systems, lacking any centralized organization or hierarchical control. There has been much interest in…
To improve traffic management ability, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are gradually upgrading legacy network devices to programmable devices that support Software-Defined Networking (SDN). The coexistence of legacy and SDN devices gives…
The ability of a peer-to-peer (P2P) system to effectively host decentralized applications often relies on the availability of a peer-sampling service, which provides each participant with a random sample of other peers. Despite the…
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Internet of Things (IoT) networks operate in decentralized and dynamic environments, making them ideal for scenarios lacking traditional infrastructure. However, these networks face challenges such as…
The use of under-utilized Internet resources is widely recognized as a viable form of high performance computing. Sustained processing power of roughly 40T FLOPS using 4 million volunteered Internet hosts has been reported for…
Node and link churn in multi-party, cross-region clusters over wide-area networks (WANs) often disrupts distributed training. However, checkpoint-based recovery and cloud-centric autoscaling react slowly and assume centralized control,…
Vast quantities of compute (GPU cycles on personal workstations, idle inference servers, and edge devices between jobs) go unused because no incentive-aligned protocol exists for their owners to share them safely and profitably. Existing…
Network monitoring and measurement are crucial in network management to facilitate quality of service routing and performance evaluation. Software Defined Networking (SDN) makes network management easier by separating the control plane and…
The introduction of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) helped reduce the consumption of resource in video delivery, but its client-based rate adaptation is unable to optimally use the available end-to-end network bandwidth. We…
We present P2PL, a practical multi-device peer-to-peer deep learning algorithm that, unlike the federated learning paradigm, does not require coordination from edge servers or the cloud. This makes P2PL well-suited for the sheer scale of…
This paper presents StreamChat, a novel approach that enhances the interaction capabilities of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) with streaming video content. In streaming interaction scenarios, existing methods rely solely on visual…
Distributed deep learning (DDL) training systems are designed for cloud and data-center environments that assumes homogeneous compute resources, high network bandwidth, sufficient memory and storage, as well as independent and identically…
We study multi-hop data-dissemination in a wireless network from one source to multiple nodes where some of the nodes of the network act as re-transmitting nodes and help the source in data dissemination. In this network, we study two…
This paper presents a study on data dissemination in unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network overlays. The absence of a structure in unstructured overlays eases the network management, at the cost of non-optimal mechanisms to spread…
Our study uses the centralized, flexible, dynamic, and programmable structure of Software-Defined networks (SDN) to overcome the problems. Although SDN effectively addresses the challenges present in traditional networks, it still requires…
Nowadays, peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming systems have become a popular way to deliver multimedia content over the internet due to their low bandwidth requirement, high video streaming quality, and flexibility. However, P2P streaming systems…
Caching is crucial for enabling high-throughput networks for data intensive applications. Traditional caching technology relies on DRAM, as it can transfer data at a high rate. However, DRAM capacity is subject to contention by most system…
The communication network context in actual systems like 5G, cloud and IoT (Internet of Things), presents an ever-increasing number of users, applications, and services that are highly distributed with distinct and heterogeneous…
