As data mesh architectures gain traction in federated environments, organizations are increasingly building consumer-specific data-sharing pipelines using modular, cloud-native transformation services. Prior work has shown that structuring…
Heterogeneity is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in modern large-scale computer systems. Developing good load balancing policies for systems whose resources have varying speeds is crucial in achieving low response times. Indeed, how best…
AI deployment increasingly resembles a pipeline of data transformation, fine-tuning, and agent interactions rather than a monolithic LLM job; recent examples include RLHF/RLAIF training and agentic workflows. To cope with this shift, we…
Electronic collaboration among devices in a geographically localized environment is made possible with the implementation of IEEE 802.11 based wireless ad hoc networks. Dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs) may lead to…
Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) is a key enabling technology for Fifth Generation (5G) mobile networks. MEC facilitates distributed cloud computing capabilities and information technology service environment for applications and services…
Kubernetes is an open-source software for automating management of computerized services. Organizations, such as IBM, Capital One and Adidas use Kubernetes to deploy and manage their containers, and have reported benefits related to…
Service meshes have emerged as an attractive DevOps solution for collecting, managing, and coordinating microservice deployments. However, current service meshes leave fundamental security mechanisms missing or incomplete. The security…
Distributed computing (cloud) networks, e.g., mobile edge computing (MEC), are playing an increasingly important role in the efficient hosting, running, and delivery of real-time stream-processing applications such as industrial automation,…
Service mesh is getting widely adopted as the cloud-native mechanism for traffic management in microservice-based applications, in particular for generic IT workloads hosted in more centralized cloud environments. Performance-demanding…
Network virtualization and SDN-based routing allow carriers to flexibly configure their networks in response to demand and unexpected network disruptions. However, cellular networks, by nature, pose some unique challenges because of user…
Extented Reality (XR) refers to a class of contemporary services that are intertwined with a plethora of rather demanding Quality of Service (QoS) and functional requirements. Despite Kubernetes being the de-facto standard in terms of…
Translating security intent into deployable network enforcement rules and maintaining their effectiveness despite evolving cyber threats remains a largely manual process in most Security Operations Centers (SOCs). In large and heterogeneous…
While various service orchestration aspects within Computing Continuum (CC) systems have been extensively addressed, including service placement, replication, and scheduling, an open challenge lies in ensuring uninterrupted data delivery…
Fleets of robots ingest massive amounts of heterogeneous streaming data silos generated by interacting with their environments, far more than what can be stored or transmitted with ease. At the same time, teams of robots should co-acquire…
In cellular networks, the densification of connected devices and base stations engender the ever-growing traffic intensity, and caching popular contents with smart management is a promising way to alleviate such consequences. Our research…
The enforcement of security policies in outsourced environments is still an open challenge for policy-based systems. On the one hand, taking the appropriate security decision requires access to the policies. However, if such access is…
We address the problem of learning hierarchical deep neural network policies for reinforcement learning. In contrast to methods that explicitly restrict or cripple lower layers of a hierarchy to force them to use higher-level modulating…
Recent advancements in the field of smart machine-to-machine (M2M) communications impose the necessity to improve the service delivery by enforcing appropriate security rules. Due to the large number of connected devices, the criticality of…
The existence of errors or inconsistencies in the configuration of security components, such as filtering routers and/or firewalls, may lead to weak access control policies -- potentially easy to be evaded by unauthorized parties. We…
Connecting the wired and wireless networks particularly the Mobile ad hoc Network is interesting in real world situations due to its usefulness and practicality. Different mechanisms have been proposed to integrate MANETs and the Internet.…
