Motivated by the popularity of online ride and delivery services, we study natural variants of classical multi-vehicle minimum latency problems where the objective is to route a set of vehicles located at depots to serve request located on…
Anonymity systems such as Tor aim to enable users to communicate in a manner that is untraceable by adversaries that control a small number of machines. To provide efficient service to users, these anonymity systems make full use of…
Website Fingerprinting attacks enable a passive eavesdropper to recover the user's otherwise anonymized web browsing activity by matching the observed traffic with prerecorded web traffic templates. The defenses that have been proposed to…
Anonymous data collection systems allow users to contribute the data necessary to build services and applications while preserving their privacy. Anonymity, however, can be abused by malicious agents aiming to subvert or to sabotage the…
Multi-model LLM serving operates in a non-stationary, noisy environment: providers revise pricing, model quality can shift or regress without notice, and new models arrive regularly. More than a dozen recent methods have proposed learned…
Sixth-generation (6G) radio access networks (RANs) must enforce strict service-level agreements (SLAs) for heterogeneous slices, yet sudden latency spikes remain difficult to diagnose and resolve with conventional deep reinforcement…
In today's rapidly expanding digital landscape, where access to timely online content is paramount to users, the underlying network infrastructure and latency performance significantly influence the user experience. We present an empirical…
Measurements and data analysis have proved very effective in the study of the Internet's physical fabric and have shown heterogeneities and statistical fluctuations extending over several orders of magnitude. Here we analyze performance…
We study in this paper the impact of communication latency on the classical Work Stealing load balancing algorithm. Our approach considers existing performance models and the underlying algorithms. We introduce a latency parameter in the…
Enabling full robotic workloads with diverse behaviors on mobile systems with stringent resource and energy constraints remains a challenge. In recent years, attempts have been made to deploy single-accelerator-based computing platforms…
Preventing abusive activities caused by adversaries accessing online services at a rate exceeding that expected by websites has become an ever-increasing problem. CAPTCHAs and SMS authentication are widely used to provide a solution by…
This paper introduces a packet-based dual-rate control strategy to face time-varying network-induced delays, packet dropouts and packet disorder in a Networked Control System. Slow-rate sensing enables to achieve energy saving by reducing…
Container orchestration technologies are widely employed in cloud computing, facilitating the co-location of online and offline services on the same infrastructure. Online services demand rapid responsiveness and high availability, whereas…
We study a $K$-armed bandit with delayed feedback and intermediate observations. We consider a model where intermediate observations have a form of a finite state, which is observed immediately after taking an action, whereas the loss is…
Anticipation for 6G's arrival comes with growing concerns about increased energy consumption in computing and networking. The expected surge in connected devices and resource-demanding applications presents unprecedented challenges for…
The escalating sophistication of cyber-attacks and the widespread utilization of stealth tactics have led to significant security threats globally. Nevertheless, the existing static detection methods exhibit limited coverage, and…
The robustness principle, written by Jon Postel in an early version of TCP implementation, states that the communicating entities should be liberal while accepting the data. Several entities on the Internet do follow this principle. For…
5G networks are susceptible to cyber attacks due to reasons such as implementation issues and vulnerabilities in 3GPP standard specifications. In this work, we propose lateral movement strategies in a 5G Core (5GC) with network slicing…
Meta computing is a new computing paradigm that aims to efficiently utilize all network computing resources to provide fault-tolerant, personalized services with strong security and privacy guarantees. It also seeks to virtualize the…
This paper puts forth a networking paradigm, referred to as just-in-time (JIT) communication, to support client-server applications with stringent request-response latency requirement. Of interest is not just the round-trip delay of the…
