Hosting capacity (HC) assessment plays a critical role in distribution system planning under increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and associated uncertainties in load and generation. However, conventional approaches…
The growing aging population has significantly increased demand for efficient home health care (HHC) services. This study introduces a Vehicle Routing and Appointment Scheduling Problem (VRASP) to simultaneously optimize caregiver routes…
This paper considers the problem of service placement and task scheduling on a three-tiered edge-to-cloud platform when user requests must be met by a certain deadline. Time-sensitive applications (e.g., augmented reality, gaming, real-time…
Accurate forecasting in the e-commerce finance domain is particularly challenging due to irregular invoice schedules, payment deferrals, and user-specific behavioral variability. These factors, combined with sparse datasets and short…
Serverless computing is an emerging cloud computing paradigm that can reduce costs for cloud providers and their customers. However, serverless cloud platforms have stringent performance requirements (due to the need to execute short…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for financial document question answering typically follow a chunk-based paradigm: documents are split into fragments, embedded into vector space, and retrieved via similarity search. While…
Modern high-performance computing (HPC) environments rely on hybrid storage systems (HSS) that combine multiple storage devices with diverse latency, bandwidth, endurance, and capacity characteristics to meet the performance, capacity, and…
In the past few years, we have envisioned an increasing number of businesses start driving by big data analytics, such as Amazon recommendations and Google Advertisements. At the back-end side, the businesses are powered by big data…
In High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures, the control of resources by batch systems can lead to prolonged queue waiting times and adverse effects on the overall execution times of applications, particularly in data-intensive and…
Modern cloud servers routinely co-locate multiple latency-sensitive microservice instances to improve resource efficiency. However, the diversity of microservice behaviors, coupled with mutual performance interference under simultaneous…
