The tasks of semantic web service (discovery, selection, composition, and execution) are supposed to enable seamless interoperation between systems, whereby human intervention is kept at a minimum. In the field of Web service description…

Software Defined Networking or SDN is an architectural approach to managing the network where the control and forwarding are different planes that are controlled through an application interface.

This paper presents a platform to facilitate the deployment of applications in Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The platform allows to the programmers to use a Function-as-a-Service programming paradigm that are managed and configured in a…

Functions as a Service has emerged as a popular abstraction for a wide range of cloud applications and an important cloud workload. We present the design and implementation of FaasMeter, a FaaS control plane which provides energy…

This paper argues for decoupling transaction processing from existing two-layer cloud-native databases and making transaction processing as an independent service. By building a transaction as a service (TaaS) layer, the transaction…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) are technologies that recently acquired a great momentum thanks to their promise of being a flexible and cost-effective solution for replacing hardware-based,…

Swarm of drones are increasingly being asked to carry out missions that can't be completed by one drone. Particularly, in delivery, issues arise due to the swarm's limited flight endurance. Hence, we propose a novel formation-guided…

MARF is an open-source research platform and a collection of voice/sound/speech/text and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms written in Java and arranged into a modular and extensible framework facilitating addition of new…

Service Function Chains (SFCs) are one of the key enablers in providing programmable computer networks, paving the way for network autonomy. However, this also introduces new challenges, such as resource allocation and optimisation related…

Rapid adoption of the serverless (or Function-as-a-Service, FaaS) paradigm, pioneered by Amazon with AWS Lambda and followed by numerous commercial offerings and open source projects, introduces new challenges in designing the cloud…

With FPGAs now being deployed in the cloud and at the edge, there is a need for scalable design methods which can incorporate the heterogeneity present in the hardware and software components of FPGA systems. Moreover, these FPGA systems…

In a continuous deployment setting, Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) applications frequently receive updated releases, each of which can cause a performance regression. While continuous benchmarking, i.e., comparing benchmark results of the…

Cloud-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) inference is increasingly latency- and context-sensitive, yet today's AI-as-a-Service is typically consumed as an application-chosen endpoint, leaving the network to provide only best-effort…

The serverless computing model has evolved as one of the key solutions in the cloud for fast autoscaling and capacity planning. In edge computing environments, however, the serverless model is challenged by the system heterogeneity and…

While the first generation of cloud computing systems mitigated the job of system administrators, the next generation of cloud computing systems is emerging to mitigate the burden for cloud developers -- facilitating the development of…

Software as a service (SaaS) has recently enjoyed much attention as it makes the use of software more convenient and cost-effective. At the same time, the arising of users' expectation for high quality service such as real-time information…

The Internet, at large, remains under the control of service providers and autonomous systems. The Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing provide an increasing demand and potential for more user control for their web service workflows.…

Serverless clouds promise efficient scaling, reduced toil and monetary costs. Yet, serverless-ing a complex, legacy application might require major refactoring and thus is risky. As a case study, we use Airflow, an industry-standard…

The Internet of Things (IoT) [1] envisions the creation of an environment where everyday objects (e.g. microwaves, fridges, cars, coffee machines, etc.) are connected to the internet and make users' lives more convenient. It will also lead…

Plug-and-play information technology (IT) infrastructure has been expanding very rapidly in recent years. With the advent of cloud computing, many ecosystem and business paradigms are encountering potential changes and may be able to…
