Serverless computing systems are becoming very popular. Large corporations such as Netflix, Airbnb, and Coca-Cola use such systems for running their websites and IT systems. The advantages of such systems include superior support for…
AI deployment increasingly resembles a pipeline of data transformation, fine-tuning, and agent interactions rather than a monolithic LLM job; recent examples include RLHF/RLAIF training and agentic workflows. To cope with this shift, we…
Typically, serverless functions rely on remote storage services for managing state, which can result in increased latency and network communication overhead. In a dynamic environment such as the 3D (Edge-Cloud-Space) Compute Continuum,…
Serverless computing is a paradigm in which the underlying infrastructure is fully managed by the provider, enabling applications and services to be executed with elastic resource provisioning and minimal operational overhead. A core model…
Dynamic offloading of Machine Learning (ML) model partitions across different resource orchestration services, such as Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), can balance processing and transmission delays while…
Serverless computing (also known as functions as a service) is a new cloud computing abstraction that makes it easier to write robust, large-scale web services. In serverless computing, programmers write what are called serverless…
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) has raised a growing interest in how to "tame" serverless computing to enable domain-specific use cases such as data-intensive applications and machine learning (ML), to name a few. Recently, several systems…
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a cloud service model enabling developers to offload event-driven executable snippets of code. The execution and management of such functions becomes a FaaS provider's responsibility, hereby included their…
Resource management is the principal factor to fully utilize the potential of Edge/Fog computing to execute real-time and critical IoT applications. Although some resource management frameworks exist, the majority are not designed based on…
Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms face diverse Service Level Objective (SLO) requirements stemming from various large language model (LLM) applications, manifested in contextual complexity, first-token latency, and between-token latency.…
Many large enterprises that operate highly governed and complex ICT environments have no efficient and effective way to support their Data and AI teams in rapidly spinning up and tearing down self-service data and compute infrastructure, to…
When multiple tenants compete for resources, database performance tends to suffer. Yet there are scenarios where guaranteed sub-millisecond latencies are crucial, such as in real-time data processing, IoT devices, or when operating in…
In FaaS, users invoke remote functions, which encapsulate service(s). These functions typically need to remotely access a persistent state via external services: this makes the paradigm less attractive in edge systems, especially for IoT…
We consider a discrete-time system comprising a first-come-first-served queue, a non-preemptive server, and a stationary non-work-conserving scheduler. New tasks enter the queue according to a Bernoulli process with a pre-specified arrival…
While multi-agent systems (MAS) promise elevated intelligence through coordination of agents, current approaches to automatic MAS design under-deliver. Such shortcomings stem from two key factors: (1) methodological complexity - agent…
Serverless computing is a cloud computing paradigm that allows developers to focus exclusively on business logic as cloud service providers manage resource management tasks. Serverless applications follow this model, where the application…
The rapid advancement of big data technologies has underscored the need for robust and efficient data processing solutions. Traditional Spark-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions, such as Databricks and Amazon Web Services Elastic…
Data heterogeneity presents significant challenges for federated learning (FL). Recently, dataset distillation techniques have been introduced, and performed at the client level, to attempt to mitigate some of these challenges. In this…
Developing accurate and extendable performance models for serverless platforms, aka Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, is a very challenging task. Also, implementation and experimentation on real serverless platforms is both costly and…
The traditional cloud-centric approach for Deep Learning (DL) requires training data to be collected and processed at a central server which is often challenging in privacy-sensitive domains like healthcare. Towards this, a new learning…
