Serverless computing is an emerging cloud computing paradigm that has been applied to various domains, including machine learning, scientific computing, video processing, etc. To develop serverless computing-based software applications…

Serverless computing and stream processing represent two dominant paradigms for event-driven data processing, yet both make assumptions that render them inefficient for short-running, lightweight, and unpredictable streams that require…

The topic of serverless computing has proved to be a controversial subject both within academic and industrial communities. Many have praised the approach to be a platform for a new era of computing and some have argued that it is in fact a…

Constrained devices in IoT networks often require to outsource resource-heavy computations or data processing tasks. Currently, most of those jobs are done in the centralised cloud. However, with rapidly increasing number of devices and…

The serverless scheduling problem poses a new challenge to Cloud service platform providers because it is rather a job scheduling problem than a traditional resource allocation or request load balancing problem. Traditionally, elastic cloud…

Cloud Computing offers virtualized computing, storage, and networking resources, over the Internet, to organizations and individual users in a completely dynamic way. These cloud resources are cheaper, easier to manage, and more elastic…

A peer-to-peer application architecture is proposed that has the potential to eliminate the back-end servers for hosting services on the Internet. The proposed application architecture has been modeled as a distributed system for delivering…

Edge computing is a promising solution to enable low-latency IoT applications, by shifting computation from remote data centers to local devices, less powerful but closer to the end user devices. However, this creates the challenge on how…

Serverless computing is an approach to cloud computing that allows programmers to run serverless functions in response to external events. Serverless functions are priced at sub-second granularity, support transparent elasticity, and…

We present and explore a model of stateless and self-stabilizing distributed computation, inspired by real-world applications such as routing on today's Internet. Processors in our model do not have an internal state, but rather interact by…

Opportunistic computing is a paradigm for completely self-organised pervasive networks. Instead of relying only on fixed infrastructures as the cloud, users' devices act as service providers for each other. They use pairwise contacts to…

Computation outsourcing is an integral part of cloud computing. It enables end-users to outsource their computational tasks to the cloud and utilize the shared cloud resources in a pay-per-use manner. However, once the tasks are outsourced,…

Serverless computing is transforming cloud application development, but the performance-cost trade-offs of control plane designs remain poorly understood due to a lack of open, cross-platform benchmarks and detailed system analyses. In this…

In this paper, we consider a system model in conjunction with two major technologies in 5G communications, i.e., mobile edge computing and spectrum sharing. An IoT network, which does not have access to any licensed spectrum, carries its…

We consider the setting where a service is hosted on a third-party edge server deployed close to the users and a cloud server at a greater distance from the users. Due to the proximity of the edge servers to the users, requests can be…

As novel applications spring up in future network scenarios, the requirements on network service capabilities for differentiated services or burst services are diverse. Aiming at the research of collaborative computing and resource…

Adopting serverless computing to edge networks benefits end-users from the pay-as-you-use billing model and flexible scaling of applications. This paradigm extends the boundaries of edge computing and remarkably improves the quality of…

Cloud computing can be defined as the outsourcing / renting of resources over the network. It has been regarded as an essential utility similar to electricity, water, telephone and sewerage utilities. Over the years, a number of providers…

Serverless computing adopts a pay-as-you-go billing model where applications are executed in stateless and shortlived containers triggered by events, resulting in a reduction of monetary costs and resource utilization. However, existing…

In recent years, there has been a surge in the adoption of serverless computing due to the ease of deployment, attractive pay-per-use pricing, and transparent horizontal auto-scaling. At the same time, infrastructure advancements such as…
