Today, software-intensive systems are increasingly being developed in a globally distributed way. However, besides its benefit, global development also bears a set of risks and problems. One critical factor for successful project management…

DevOps is a quite effective approach for managing software development and operation, as confirmed by plenty of success stories in real applications and case studies. DevOps is now becoming the main-stream solution adopted by the software…

Task-based programming models have proven to be a robust and versatile way to approach development of applications for distributed environments. They provide natural programming patterns with high performance. However, execution on this…

The emerging large-scale and data-hungry algorithms require the computations to be delegated from a central server to several worker nodes. One major challenge in the distributed computations is to tackle delays and failures caused by the…

The unprecedented volume, diversity and richness of aviation data that can be acquired, generated, stored, and managed provides unique capabilities for the aviation-related industries and pertains value that remains to be unlocked with the…

Scheduling query execution plans is a particularly complex problem in shared-nothing parallel systems, where each site consists of a collection of local time-shared (e.g., CPU(s) or disk(s)) and space-shared (e.g., memory) resources and…

One of the most important issues in data stream processing systems is to use operator migration to handle highly variable workloads in a cost-efficient manner and adapt to the needs at any given time on demand. Operator migration is a…

Multi-task learning aims to learn multiple tasks jointly by exploiting their relatedness to improve the generalization performance for each task. Traditionally, to perform multi-task learning, one needs to centralize data from all the tasks…

In some complex domains, certain problem-specific decompositions can provide advantages over monolithic designs by enabling comprehension and specification of the design. In this paper we present an intuitive and tractable approach to…

We present an approach to the distributed storage of data across a swarm of mobile robots that forms a shared global memory. We assume that external storage infrastructure is absent, and that each robot is capable of devoting a quota of…

Automatic program synthesis is a long-lasting dream in software engineering. Recently, a promising Deep Learning (DL) based solution, called Copilot, has been proposed by OpenAI and Microsoft as an industrial product. Although some studies…

This chapter details how Big Data can be used and implemented in networking and computing infrastructures. Specifically, it addresses three main aspects: the timely extraction of relevant knowledge from heterogeneous, and very often…

The under exploitation of the available resources risks to be one of the main problems for a computing center. The growing demand of computational power necessarily entails more complex approaches in the management of the computing…

Contemporary connected vehicles host numerous applications, such as diagnostics and navigation, and new software is continuously being developed. However, the development process typically requires offline batch processing of large data…

Several interesting problems in multi-robot systems can be cast in the framework of distributed optimization. Examples include multi-robot task allocation, vehicle routing, target protection, and surveillance. While the theoretical analysis…

Today's computing systems require moving data back-and-forth between computing resources (e.g., CPUs, GPUs, accelerators) and off-chip main memory so that computation can take place on the data. Unfortunately, this data movement is a major…

In the era of big data, integrating multi-source functional data to extract a subspace that captures the shared subspace across sources has attracted considerable attention. In practice, data collection procedures often follow…

This paper investigates the impact of artificial intelligence integration on remote operations, emphasising its influence on both distributed and team cognition. As remote operations increasingly rely on digital interfaces, sensors, and…

Computation load-sharing across a network of heterogeneous robots is a promising approach to increase robots capabilities and efficiency as a team in extreme environments. However, in such environments, communication links may be…

Aggregation has been an important operation since the early days of relational databases. Today's Big Data applications bring further challenges when processing aggregation queries, demanding adaptive aggregation algorithms that can process…
