This paper proposes a novel multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted collaborative mobile edge computing (MEC) framework, where the computing tasks of terminal devices (TDs) can be decomposed into serial or parallel sub-tasks and…
Recently, the outstanding performance reached by neural networks in many tasks has led to their deployment in autonomous systems, such as robots and vehicles. However, neural networks are not yet trustworthy, being prone to different types…
Connecting vehicles to cloud platforms has enabled innovative business scenarios while raising new quality concerns, such as reliability and scalability, which must be addressed by research. Cloud-native architectures based on microservices…
Effective communication for emergency vehicles - such as ambulances and fire trucks - is essential to support their operations in various traffic and environmental conditions. In this context, this paper investigates a vehicular…
The move towards the microservice based architecture is well underway. In this architectural style, small and loosely coupled modules are developed, deployed, and scaled independently to compose cloud-native applications. However, for…
Azure Cosmos DB is a cloud-native distributed database, operating at a massive scale, powering Microsoft Cloud. Think 10s of millions of database partitions (replica-sets), 100+ PBs of data under management, 20M+ vCores. Failovers are an…
Online services strive to maintain application responsiveness even when the traffic is unpredictable and fluctuating. Today's online services are commonly deployed as chains of microservices, each microservice packaged as one or more…
FaaS allows an application to be decomposed into functions that are executed on a FaaS platform. The FaaS platform is responsible for the resource provisioning of the functions. Recently, there is a growing trend towards the execution of…
The co-location of multiple database instances on resource constrained edge nodes creates significant cache contention, where traditional schemes are inefficient and unstable under dynamic workloads. To address this, we present SAM(a…
We present a hierarchical safe auto-taxiing framework to enhance the automated ground operations of multiple unmanned aircraft systems (multi-UAS). The auto-taxiing problem becomes particularly challenging due to (i) unknown disturbances,…
Next-generation Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communication networks must maintain reliable connectivity under rapid topology changes, fluctuating link quality, and time-critical data exchange. Existing topology control methods rely on…
We consider robust resource allocation of services in Clouds. More specifically, we consider the case of a large public or private Cloud platform that runs a relatively small set of large and independent services. These services are…
The integration of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into low-altitude airspace has led authorities to adopt distributed Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) architectures that ensure interoperability and safety. Blockchain has been proposed as…
The architectural style of microservices has been gaining popularity in recent years. In this architectural style, small and loosely coupled modules are deployed and scaled independently to compose cloud-native applications. Carrier-grade…
This paper explores a prevailing trend in the industry: migrating data-intensive analytics applications from on-premises to cloud-native environments. We find that the unique cost models associated with cloud-based storage necessitate a…
The network transport layer is increasingly implemented in the NIC hardware to meet the performance demands of modern workloads, but this has made it difficult to evolve or deploy new transport protocols. Existing approaches either fix…
To protect multicores from soft-error perturbations, resiliency schemes have been developed with high coverage but high power and performance overheads. Emerging safety-critical machine learning applications are increasingly being deployed…
Regulated enterprises in the United States -- banks, telecommunications providers, large technology companies -- operate across heterogeneous systems that were rarely designed to interoperate. ERP platforms, billing engines, supply chain…
The Synergistic Collapse occurs when scaling beyond 100 agents causes superlinear performance degradation that individual optimizations cannot prevent. We observe this collapse with 150 cameras in Smart City deployment using MADDPG, where…
Development of autonomous and self-driving vehicles requires agile and reliable services to manage hazardous road situations. Vehicular Network is the medium that can provide high-quality services for self-driving vehicles. The majority of…
