We consider a strategic decision-making problem where a logistics provider (LP) seeks to locate collection and delivery points (CDPs) with the objective to reduce total logistics costs. The customers maximize utility that depends on their…
Network distance (Round Trip Time, RTT) is an important parameter for many Internet distributed systems to optimize their performances. Network Coordinate System (NCS) is assumed as a lightweight and scalable mechanism to predict network…
The microservices architectural style is widely favored for its scalability, reusability, and easy maintainability, prompting increased adoption by developers. However, transitioning from a monolithic to a microservices-based architecture…
With its origin in sociology, Social Network Analysis (SNA), quickly emerged and spread to other areas of research, including anthropology, biology, information science, organizational studies, political science, and computer science. Being…
Network slicing is emerging as a promising method to provide sought-after versatility and flexibility to cope with ever-increasing demands. To realize such potential advantages and to meet the challenging requirements of various network…
Deep within the networks of distributed systems, one often finds anomalies that affect their efficiency and performance. These anomalies are difficult to detect because the distributed systems may not have sufficient sensors to monitor the…
Recent advancement in web services plays an important role in business to business and business to consumer interaction. Discovery mechanism is not only used to find a suitable service but also provides collaboration between service…
Multimedia conferencing is used extensively in a wide range of applications, such as online games and distance learning. These applications need to efficiently scale the conference size as the number of participants fluctuates. Cloud is a…
As a key technology in the 5G era, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has developed rapidly in recent years. MEC aims to reduce the service delay of mobile users, while alleviating the processing pressure on the core network. MEC can be regarded…
As applications become more distributed to improve user experience and offer higher availability, businesses rely on geographically dispersed datacenters that host such applications more than ever. Dedicated inter-datacenter networks have…
This paper considers a crowdsourced delivery (CSD) system that effectively utilizes the existing trips to fulfill parcel delivery as a matching problem between CSD drivers and delivery tasks. This matching problem has two major challenges.…
Mobile micro-clouds are promising for enabling performance-critical cloud applications. However, one challenge therein is the dynamics at the network edge. In this paper, we study how to place service instances to cope with these dynamics,…
As a key component of low-altitude economic networks, aerial base stations (AeBSs) provide flexible and reliable wireless coverage to support 6G ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) services. However, limited spectrum…
A network is represented as a graph consisting of nodes and edges. A cut set for a source-destination pair in a network is a set of elements that, when failed, cause the source-destination pair to lose connectivity. A Minimal Cut Set (MCS)…
Orchestrating service-oriented workflows is typically based on a design model that routes both data and control through a single point - the centralised workflow engine. This causes scalability problems that include the unnecessary…
In the edge-cloud continuum, datacenters provide microservices (MSs) to mobile users, with each MS having specific latency constraints and computational requirements. Deploying such a variety of MSs matching their requirements with the…
Distributed tracing serves as a fundamental element in the monitoring of cloud-based and datacenter systems. It provides visibility into the full lifecycle of a request or operation across multiple services, which is essential for…
Nowadays, with the widespread of smartphones and other portable gadgets equipped with a variety of sensors, data is ubiquitous available and the focus of machine learning has shifted from being able to infer from small training samples to…
In the literature, asymptotic studies of multi-hop wireless network capacity often consider only centralized and deterministic TDMA (time-division multi-access) coordination schemes. There have been fewer studies of the asymptotic capacity…
Recent applications employ publish/subscribe (Pub/Sub) systems so that publishers can easily receive attentions of customers and subscribers can monitor useful information generated by publishers. Due to the prevalence of smart devices and…
