In this paper, the intra-day multi-interval rolling-window joint dispatch and pricing of energy and reserve is studied under increasing volatile and uncertain renewable generations. A look-ahead energy-reserve co-optimization model is…

We study the market design of keep-alive caching policies applicable in serverless computing. Prior work has assumed that the cost of a cache miss (cold start) is uniform across all customer applications. However, the cost of a cache miss…

New dynamic cloud pricing options are emerging with cloud providers offering resources as a wide range of CPU frequencies and matching prices that can be switched at runtime. On the other hand, cloud providers are facing the problem of…

A current trend in networking and cloud computing is to provide compute resources over widely dispersed places exemplified by initiatives like Network Function Virtualisation. This paves the way for a widespread service deployment and can…

For online resource allocation problems, we propose a new demand arrival model where the sequence of arrivals contains both an adversarial component and a stochastic one. Our model requires no demand forecasting; however, due to the…

We consider elastic resource provisioning in the cloud, focusing on in-memory key-value stores used as caches. Our goal is to dynamically scale resources to the traffic pattern minimizing the overall cost, which includes not only the…

New pricing policies are emerging where cloud providers charge resource provisioning based on the allocated CPU frequencies. As a result, resources are offered to users as combinations of different performance levels and prices which can be…

Modern day continued demand for resource hungry services and applications in IT sector has led to development of Cloud computing. Cloud computing environment involves high cost infrastructure on one hand and need high scale computational…

The society's insatiable appetites for personal data are driving the emergency of data markets, allowing data consumers to launch customized queries over the datasets collected by a data broker from data owners. In this paper, we study how…

IaaS clouds invest substantial capital in operating their data centers. Reducing the cost of resource provisioning, is their forever pursuing goal. Computing resource trading among multiple IaaS clouds provide a potential for IaaS clouds to…

Oblivious RAM simulation is a method for achieving confidentiality and privacy in cloud computing environments. It involves obscuring the access patterns to a remote storage so that the manager of that storage cannot infer information about…

Residential Demand Response has emerged as a viable tool to alleviate supply and demand imbalances of electricity, particularly during times when the electric grid is strained due a shortage of supply. Demand Response providers bid…

Hundreds of millions of network cameras have been installed throughout the world. Each is capable of providing a vast amount of real-time data. Analyzing the massive data generated by these cameras requires significant computational…

The primary concerns of this paper are twofold: to understand the economic value of storage in the presence of ramp constraints and exogenous electricity prices, and to understand the implications of the associated optimal storage…

Today's global supply chains face growing challenges due to rapidly changing market conditions, increased network complexity and inter-dependency, and dynamic uncertainties in supply, demand, and other factors. To combat these challenges,…

As we approach the physical limits of CMOS technology, advances in materials science and nanotechnology are making available a variety of unconventional computing substrates that can potentially replace top-down-designed silicon-based…

In cloud computing, network Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are well studied and defenses have been implemented, but severe DoS attacks on a victim's working memory by a single hostile VM are not well understood. Memory DoS attacks are…

This paper investigates the opportunities and limitations of adaptive virtual machine (VM) migration to reduce communication costs in a virtualized environment. We introduce a new formal model for the problem of online VM migration in two…

Cloud-computing shares a common pool of resources across customers at a scale that is orders of magnitude larger than traditional multi-user systems. Constituent physical compute servers are allocated multiple "virtual machines" (VM) to…

Advance reservation is important to guarantee the quality of services of jobs by allowing exclusive access to resources over a defined time interval on resources. It is a challenge for the scheduler to organize available resources…
