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…
It is increasingly common to outsource network functions (NFs) to the cloud. However, no cloud providers offer NFs-as-a-Service (NFaaS) that allows users to run custom NFs. Our work addresses how a cloud provider can offer NFaaS. We use the…
FaaS allows an application to be decomposed into functions that are executed on a FaaS platform. The FaaS platform is responsible for the resource provisioning of the functions. Recently, there is a growing trend towards the execution of…
Cloud Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has emerged as a tool for analysis, processing and transmission of geospatial data. The Fog computing is a paradigm where Fog devices help to increase throughput and reduce latency at the edge of…
FaaS (Function-as-a-Service) revolutionized cloud computing by replacing persistent virtual machines with dynamically allocated resources. This shift trades locality and statefulness for a pay-as-you-go model more suited to variable and…
