ISPs are increasingly selling "tiered" contracts, which offer Internet connectivity to wholesale customers in bundles, at rates based on the cost of the links that the traffic in the bundle is traversing. Although providers have already…

Today's Cloud applications are dominated by composite applications comprising multiple computing and data components with strong communication correlations among them. Although Cloud providers are deploying large number of computing and…

Edge computing has emerged as a key technology to reduce network traffic, improve user experience, and enable various Internet of Things applications. From the perspective of a service provider (SP), how to jointly optimize the service…

In a hybrid cloud, individual cloud service providers (CSPs) often have incentive to use each other's resources to off-load peak loads or place load closer to the end user. However, CSPs have to keep track of contributions and gains in…

This paper proposes the integration of Concentrated Solar Power Plant (CSP) in the Renewable-only virtual power plant (RVPP) for bidding in the electricity day-ahead and secondary reserve markets, as well as trading thermal energy through a…

Many cloud service providers (CSPs) provide on-demand service at a price with a small delay. We propose a QoS-differentiated model where multiple SLAs deliver both on-demand service for latency-critical users and delayed services for…

Encrypted data deduplication is an important technique for saving storage space and network bandwidth, which has been widely used in cloud storage. Recently, a number of schemes that solve the problem of data deduplication with dynamic…

It is well-known that cloud application performance critically depends on the network. Accordingly, new abstractions for cloud applications are proposed which extend the performance isolation guarantees to the network. The most common…

The work presented in this paper relates to a small scale district heating network heated by a gas fired CHP. In most common situations, such a CHP is heat driven operated, meaning that the CHP will switch on whenever heat is needed, while…

In recent years, emerging storage hardware technologies have focused on divergent goals: better performance or lower cost-per-bit. Correspondingly, data systems that employ these technologies are typically optimized either to be fast (but…

One practical open problem is the development of a distributed algorithm that achieves near-optimal utility using only a finite (and small) buffer size for queues in a stochastic network. This paper studies utility maximization (or cost…

Design and architecture of cloud storage system plays a vital role in cloud computing infrastructure in order to improve the storage capacity as well as cost effectiveness. Usually cloud storage system provides users to efficient storage…

The increasing penetration of renewable energy necessitates improved power system flexibility, driving the deployment of independent energy storage operators (ESOs). Existing research extensively investigates capacity sizing for price-taker…

The increasing popularity of cloud computing has resulted in a proliferation of data centers. Effective placement of data centers improves network performance and minimizes clients' perceived latency. The problem of determining the optimal…

Energy storage is expected to play an increasingly important role in mitigating variations that come along with the growing penetration of renewable energy. In this paper, we study the optimal bidding of an energy storage unit in a…

One of the primary objectives of a distributed storage system is to reliably store large amounts of source data for long durations using a large number $N$ of unreliable storage nodes, each with $c$ bits of storage capacity. Storage nodes…

Premier cloud service providers (CSPs) offer two types of purchase options, namely on-demand and spot instances, with time-varying features in availability and price. Users like startups have to operate on a limited budget and similarly…

Cloud storage is fast securing its role as a major repository for both consumers and business customers. Many companies now offer storage solutions, sometimes for free for limited amounts of capacity. We have surveyed the pricing plans of a…

Edge Storage Systems have emerged as a critical enabler of low latency data access in modern cloud networks by bringing storage and computation closer to end users. However, the limited storage capacity of edge servers poses significant…

Edge computing allows Service Providers (SPs) to enhance user experience by placing their services closer to the network edge. Determining the optimal provisioning of edge resources to meet the varying and uncertain demand cost-effectively…
