Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in the development of intelligent applications and systems such as LLM-based agents and agent operating systems (AIOS). However, when these applications and systems…
Peer-to-peer file sharing envisions a data-centric dissemination model, where files consisting of multiple data pieces can be shared from any peer that can offer the data or from multiple peers simultaneously. This aim, implemented at the…
The file system provides the mechanism for online storage and access to file contents, including data and programs. This paper covers the high-level details of file systems, as well as related topics such as the disk cache, the file system…
With the tremendous advances in processor and memory technology, I/O has risen to become the bottleneck in high-performance computing for many applications. The development of parallel file systems has helped to ease the performance gap,…
We advocate in this paper the use of grid-based infrastructures that are designed for seamless approaches to the numerical expert users, i.e., the multiphysics applications designers. It relies on sophisticated computing environments based…
Software is often used for Network Functions (NFs) -- such as firewalls, NAT, deep packet inspection, and encryption -- that are applied to traffic in the network. The community has hoped that NFV would enable rapid development of new NFs…
Decentralized systems, such as distributed ledgers and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), are designed to offer more open and robust services. However, they also create opportunities for illegal activities. We demonstrate how these…
Centralized version control systems (VCS) are vital for software development but pose risks of data loss and ownership disputes. While blockchain offers a decentralized alternative, existing solutions are often hindered by high latency,…
This paper presents DESTinE Block, a blockchain-based data storage framework designed for power systems and optimized for resource-constrained environments, including grid-edge devices such as single-board computers. The proposed…
The MammoGrid project has recently delivered its first proof-of-concept prototype using a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based Grid application to enable distributed computing spanning national borders. The underlying AliEn Grid…
Proactive content caching at user devices and coded delivery is studied considering a non-uniform file popularity distribution. A novel centralized uncoded caching and coded delivery scheme, which can be applied to large file libraries, is…
High development velocity is critical for modern systems. This is especially true for Linux file systems which are seeing increased pressure from new storage devices and new demands on storage systems. However, high velocity Linux kernel…
In this paper a new Web-based File Hosting Service with Object Oriented Logic in Cloud Computing called Pirus was developed. The service will be used by the academic community of the University of Piraeus giving users the ability to…
Upcoming cellular networks aim to improve the efficiency and flexibility of mobile networks by incorporating various technologies, such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and Network Slicing (NS).…
In this paper, we consider a multi-access coded caching system with decentralized prefetching, where a server hosts $N$ files, each of size $F$ bits, and is connected to $K$ users through a shared link. There are $c$ caches distributed…
The InterPlanetary File System~(IPFS) offers a decentralized approach to file storage and sharing, promising resilience and efficiency while also realizing the Web3 paradigm. Simultaneously, the offered anonymity raises significant…
In the future ALICE heavy ion experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider input data rates of up to 25 GB/s have to be handled by the High Level Trigger (HLT) system, which has to scale them down to at most 1.25 GB/s before being written to…
As the number of cloud platforms supporting scientific research grows, there is an increasing need to support interoperability between two or more cloud platforms, as a growing amount of data is being hosted in cloud-based platforms. A well…
Background: Helm is a package manager that allows defining, installing, and upgrading applications with Kubernetes (K8s), a popular container orchestration platform. A Helm chart is a collection of files describing all dependencies,…
The EU DataGrid has deployed a grid testbed at approximately 20 sites across Europe, with several hundred registered users. This paper describes authorisation systems produced by GridPP and currently used on the EU DataGrid Testbed,…
