A hybrid mobile/fixed device cloud that harnesses sensing, computing, communication, and storage capabilities of mobile and fixed devices in the field as well as those of computing and storage servers in remote datacenters is envisioned.…

Seamless computing and service sharing in community networks have been gaining momentum due to the emerging technology of community network micro-clouds (CNMCs). However, running services in CNMCs can face enormous challenges such as the…

Network function Virtualization (NFV) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) are promising 5G technologies to support resource-demanding mobile applications. In NFV, one must process the service function chain (SFC) in which a set of network…

In this paper, a multi-user multi-server queuing system is studied in which each user is constrained to get service from a subset of servers. In the studied system, rate allocation in the sense of max-min fairness results in multi-level…

In this work, we study the problem of online mechanism design for resources allocation and pricing in cloud computing (RAPCC). We show that in general the allocation problems in RAPCC are NP-hard, and therefore we focus on designing…

Cloud computing represents an appealing opportunity for cost-effective deployment of HPC workloads on the best-fitting hardware. However, although cloud and on-premise HPC systems offer similar computational resources, their network…

The demand for stringent interactive quality-of-service has intensified in both mobile edge computing (MEC) and cloud systems, driven by the imperative to improve user experiences. As a result, the processing of computation-intensive tasks…

Tactile Internet is an emerging concept that focuses on supporting high-fidelity, ultra-responsive, and widely available human-to-machine interactions. To reduce the transmission latency and alleviate Internet congestion, fog computing has…

Recent efforts to design and develop Cloud technologies focus on defining novel methods, policies and mechanisms for efficiently managing Cloud infrastructures. One key challenge potential Cloud customers have before renting resources is to…

Network function virtualization is a promising technology to simultaneously support multiple services with diverse characteristics and requirements in the 5G and beyond networks. In particular, each service consists of a predetermined…

As AI applications for mobile devices become more prevalent, there is an increasing need for faster execution and lower energy consumption for neural model inference. Historically, the models run on mobile devices have been smaller and…

This paper considers the problem of service placement and task scheduling on a three-tiered edge-to-cloud platform when user requests must be met by a certain deadline. Time-sensitive applications (e.g., augmented reality, gaming, real-time…

Task offloading provides a promising way to enhance the capability of the mobile terminal (also called terminal user) that is distributed on network edge and communicates edge clouds with wireless. Generally, there are multiple edge cloud…

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) technology is a promising solution to assist power-constrained IoT devices by providing additional computing resources for time-sensitive tasks. In this paper, we consider the problem of optimal task…

For a cloud service provider, delivering optimal system performance while fulfilling Quality of Service (QoS) obligations is critical for maintaining a viably profitable business. This goal is often hard to attain given the irregular nature…

The transformation of smart mobility is unprecedented--Autonomous, shared and electric connected vehicles, along with the urgent need to meet ambitious net-zero targets by shifting to low-carbon transport modalities result in new traffic…

We introduce the mobile server problem, inspired by current trends to move computational tasks from cloud structures to multiple devices close to the end user. An example for this are embedded systems in autonomous cars that communicate in…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been recently considered as means to provide enhanced coverage or relaying services to mobile users (MUs) in wireless systems with limited or no infrastructure. In this paper, a UAV-based mobile cloud…

Recent literature including our past work provide analysis and solutions for using (i) erasure coding, (ii) parallelism, or (iii) variable slicing/chunking (i.e., dividing an object of a specific size into a variable number of smaller…

Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) enables the composition of loosely coupled service agents provided with varying Quality of Service (QoS) levels, effectively forming a multiagent system (MAS). Selecting a (near-)optimal set of services for…
