Wireless information-centric networks consider storage as one of the network primitives, and propose to cache data within the network in order to improve latency and reduce bandwidth consumption. We study the throughput capacity and delay…
In the classical caching problem, when a requested page is not present in the cache (i.e., a "miss"), it is assumed to travel from the backing store into the cache "before" the next request arrives. However, in many real-life applications,…
Realizing delay-capacity in intermittently connected mobile networks remains a largely open question, with state-of-the-art routing schemes typically focusing either on delay or on capacity. We show the feasibility of routing with both high…
Scalable web search systems typically employ multi-stage retrieval architectures, where an initial stage generates a set of candidate documents that are then pruned and re-ranked. Since subsequent stages typically exploit a multitude of…
The performance of inertial navigation systems is largely dependent on the stable flow of external measurements and information to guarantee continuous filter updates and bind the inertial solution drift. Platforms in different operational…
A router is a device, in the computer networks, that is used to forward a data packet. Because of its function, the router becomes an important role in measuring the performance of computer networks. It needs to process the incoming data…
Detecting performance issues and identifying their root causes in the runtime is a challenging task. Typically, developers use methods such as logging and tracing to identify bottlenecks. These solutions are, however, not ideal as they are…
Secrecy in communication systems is measured herein by the distortion that an adversary incurs. The transmitter and receiver share secret key, which they use to encrypt communication and ensure distortion at an adversary. A model is…
Transformers have been successfully applied to the visual tracking task and significantly promote tracking performance. The self-attention mechanism designed to model long-range dependencies is the key to the success of Transformers.…
Due to the recent developments in the field of full-duplex radios and cognitive radios, a new class of reactive jamming attacks has gained attention wherein an adversary transmits jamming energy over the victim's frequency band and also…
The simulation of radio frequency (RF) circuits is one of the severest problems in Design Automation: the information signal or envelope is modulated by a carrier signal with a center frequency typically in the GHz range. Due to Nyquist's…
Probe Requests are Wi-Fi management frames periodically sent by devices during network discovery. Tracking Probe Requests over time offers insights into movement patterns, traffic flows, and behavior trends, which are keys in applications…
Machine learning (ML) inference serving systems host deep neural network (DNN) models and schedule incoming inference requests across deployed GPUs. However, limited support for task prioritization and insufficient latency estimation under…
In this paper, we study kernelized bandits with distributed biased feedback. This problem is motivated by several real-world applications (such as dynamic pricing, cellular network configuration, and policy making), where users from a large…
Privacy-preserving aggregation is a cornerstone for AI systems that learn from distributed data without exposing individual records, especially in federated learning and telemetry. Existing two-server protocols (e.g., Prio and successors)…
Evaluating the real-world capabilities of AI systems requires grounding benchmark performance in human-interpretable measures of task difficulty. Existing approaches that rely on direct human task completion time annotations are costly,…
Latency is a major concern for web rendering engines like those in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. These engines reduce latency by using an incremental layout algorithm to redraw the page when the user interacts with it. In such an algorithm,…
Recent work in traffic analysis has shown that traffic patterns leaked through side channels can be used to recover important semantic information. For instance, attackers can find out which website, or which page on a website, a user is…
Caching is crucial for system performance, but the delayed hit phenomenon, where requests queue during lengthy fetches after a cache miss, significantly degrades user-perceived latency in modern high-throughput systems. While prior works…
Latency is, unfortunately, a reality when working with large datasets. Guaranteeing imperceptible latency for interactivity is often prohibitively expensive: the application developer may be forced to migrate data processing engines or deal…
