On modern parallel architectures, the cost of synchronization among processors can often dominate the cost of floating-point computation. Several modifications of the existing methods have been proposed in order to keep the communication…
Recent experimental efforts have led to considerable interest in donor-based localized electron spins in Si as viable qubits for a scalable silicon quantum computer. With the use of isotopically purified $^{28}$Si and the realization of…
Consensus protocols are currently the bottlenecks that prevent blockchain systems from scaling. However, we argue that transaction execution is also important to the performance and security of blockchains. In other words, there are ample…
Set reconciliation, where two parties hold fixed-length bit strings and run a protocol to learn the strings they are missing from each other, is a fundamental task in many distributed systems. We present Rateless Invertible Bloom Lookup…
Privacy preservation is a big concern for various sectors. To protect individual user data, one emerging technology is differential privacy. However, it still has limitations for datasets with frequent queries, such as the fast accumulation…
The perpetual growth of data stored on popular blockchains such as Ethereum leads to significant scalability challenges and substantial storage costs for operators of full nodes. Increasing costs may lead to fewer independently operated…
We propose a new free eCommerce platform with blockchains that allows customers to connect to the seller directly, share personal data without losing control and ownership of it and apply it to the domain of shopping cart. Our new platform…
The basic idea behind Cloud computing is that resource providers offer elastic resources to end users. In this paper, we intend to answer one key question to the success of Cloud computing: in Cloud, can small or medium-scale scientific…
This thesis proposes techniques aiming to make blockchain technologies and smart contract platforms practical by improving their scalability, latency, and privacy. This thesis starts by presenting the design and implementation of…
In the realm of open and composable gaming, we envision platforms where users actively expand, create, engage, and immerse themselves in a rich world of entertainment. One promising avenue for achieving this vision is through fully on-chain…
Spot instances are virtual machines offered at 60-90% lower cost that can be reclaimed at any time, with only a short warning period. Spot instances have already been used to significantly reduce the cost of processing workloads in the…
Despite Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have reduced the information asymmetry and increased the degree of interorganizational collaboration, the companies participating a supply chain are less inclined to share data when…
Blockchain technologies are gaining massive momentum in the last few years. Blockchains are distributed ledgers that enable parties who do not fully trust each other to maintain a set of global states. The parties agree on the existence,…
The shuffle model is recently proposed to address the issue of severe utility loss in Local Differential Privacy (LDP) due to distributed data randomization.In the shuffle model, a shuffler is utilized to break the link between the user…
This paper examines inscription-related transactions on Ethereum and major EVM-compatible rollups, assessing their impact on scalability during transaction surges. Our results show that, on certain days, inscriptions accounted for nearly…
Blockchain is an enabler of many emerging decentralized applications in areas of cryptocurrency, Internet of Things, smart healthcare, among many others. Although various open-source blockchain frameworks are available, the infrastructure…
Blockchain has recently been able to draw wider attention throughout the research community. Since its emergence, the world has seen the mind-blowing expansion of this new technology, which was initially developed as a pawn of digital…
Peer-to-peer ride-sharing platforms like Uber, Lyft, and DiDi have revolutionized the transportation industry and labor market. At its essence, these systems tackle the bipartite matching problem between two populations: riders and drivers.…
Blockchain, as a distributed ledger technology, becomes increasingly popular, especially for enabling valuable cryptocurrencies and smart contracts. However, the blockchain software systems inevitably have many bugs. Although bugs in smart…
Cloud computing is a cost-effective way for start-up life sciences laboratories to store and manage their data. However, in many instances the data stored over the cloud could be redundant which makes cloud-based data management inefficient…
