The present paper introduces a practical protocol for provably secure, outsourced computation. Our protocol minimizes overhead for verification by requiring solutions to withstand an interactive game between a prover and challenger. For…

We consider a simple computation offloading model where jobs can either be fully processed in the cloud or be partially processed at a local server before being sent to the cloud to complete processing. Our goal is to design a policy for…

Coded distributed computing (CDC) has emerged as a promising approach because it enables computation tasks to be carried out in a distributed manner while mitigating straggler effects, which often account for the long overall completion…

In a multi-tenant cloud, a number of Virtual Machines (VMs) are collocated on the same physical machine to optimize performance, power consumption and maximize profit. This, however, increases the risk of a malicious VM performing…

Nowadays many companies have available large amounts of raw, unstructured data. Among Big Data enabling technologies, a central place is held by the MapReduce framework and, in particular, by its open source implementation, Apache Hadoop.…

Resource allocation for cloud services is a complex task due to the diversity of the services and the dynamic workloads. One way to address this is by overprovisioning which results in high cost due to the unutilized resources. A much more…

As novel applications spring up in future network scenarios, the requirements on network service capabilities for differentiated services or burst services are diverse. Aiming at the research of collaborative computing and resource…

Mobile cloud computing is envisioned as a promising approach to augment computation capabilities of mobile devices for emerging resource-hungry mobile applications. In this paper, we propose a game theoretic approach for achieving efficient…

Optimising the execution of Bag-of-Tasks (BoT) applications on the cloud is a hard problem due to the trade- offs between performance and monetary cost. The problem can be further complicated when multiple BoT applications need to be…

We first consider the static problem of allocating resources to ( i.e. , scheduling) multiple distributed application framework s, possibly with different priorities and server preferences , in a private cloud with heterogeneous servers.…

This paper studies the optimal and fair service allocation for a variety of mobile applications (single or group and collaborative mobile applications) in mobile cloud computing. We exploit the observation that using tiered clouds, i.e.…

Cloud-based computing infrastructure provides an efficient means to support real-time processing workloads, e.g., virtualized base station processing, and collaborative video conferencing. This paper addresses resource allocation for a…

Cloud resource management is often modeled by two-dimensional bin packing with a set of items that correspond to tasks having fixed CPU and memory requirements. However, applications running in clouds are much more flexible: modern…

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…

In this work, using a game-theoretic approach, cost-sensitive mechanisms that lead to reliable Internet-based computing are designed. In particular, we consider Internet-based master-worker computations, where a master processor assigns,…

Task offloading plays a pivotal role in mobile edge computing, enabling terminal devices to enhance task execution efficiency and conserve energy. However, servers are reluctant to offer services without compensation. Currently, pricing…

We propose throughput and cost optimal job scheduling algorithms in cloud computing platforms offering Infrastructure as a Service. We first consider online migration and propose job scheduling algorithms to minimize job migration and…

Due to the recent wide use of computational resources in cloud computing, new resource provisioning challenges have been emerged. Resource provisioning techniques must keep total costs to a minimum while meeting the requirements of the…

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…

Motivated by applications in job scheduling, queuing networks, and load balancing in cyber-physical systems, we develop and analyze a game-theoretic framework to balance the load among servers in static and dynamic settings. In these…
