Nowadays IoT applications consist of a collection of loosely coupled modules, namely microservices, that can be managed and placed in a heterogeneous environment consisting of private and public resources. It follows that distributing the…

Resource constrained Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are highly likely to be compromised by attackers because strong security protections may not be suitable to be deployed. This requires an alternative approach to protect vulnerable…

The microservices architectural style is widely favored for its scalability, reusability, and easy maintainability, prompting increased adoption by developers. However, transitioning from a monolithic to a microservices-based architecture…

We consider a hierarchical edge-cloud architecture in which services are provided to mobile users as chains of virtual network functions. Each service has specific computation requirements and target delay performance, which require placing…

In this work, we propose a distributed rate allocation algorithm that minimizes the average decoding delay for multimedia clients in inter-session network coding systems. We consider a scenario where the users are organized in a mesh…

A classical problem in city-scale cyber-physical systems (CPS) is resource allocation under uncertainty. Typically, such problems are modeled as Markov (or semi-Markov) decision processes. While online, offline, and decentralized approaches…

In-network caching is recognized as an effective solution to offload content servers and the network. A cache service provider (SP) always has incentives to better utilize its cache resources by taking into account diverse roles that…

Cyber deception is one of the key approaches used to mislead attackers by hiding or providing inaccurate system information. There are two main factors limiting the real-world application of existing cyber deception approaches. The first…

The increasing volume and complexity of IoT systems demand a transition from the cloud-centric model to a decentralized IoT architecture in the so-called Computing Continuum, with no or minimal reliance on central servers. This paradigm…

Being able to accurately locate wireless devices, while guaranteeing high-level of security against spoofing attacks, benefits all participants in the localization chain (e.g., end users, network operators, and location service providers).…

Resource allocation under uncertainty is a classical problem in city-scale cyber-physical systems. Consider emergency response as an example; urban planners and first responders optimize the location of ambulances to minimize expected…

Adversarial reconnaissance is a crucial step in sophisticated cyber-attacks as it enables threat actors to find the weakest points of otherwise well-defended systems. To thwart reconnaissance, defenders can employ cyber deception…

A memory leak in an application deployed on the cloud can affect the availability and reliability of the application. Therefore, to identify and ultimately resolve it quickly is highly important. However, in the production environment…

We design dynamic routing policies for an overlay network which meet delay requirements of real-time traffic being served on top of an underlying legacy network, where the overlay nodes do not know the underlay characteristics. We pose the…

Network virtualization allows one to build dynamic distributed systems in which resources can be dynamically allocated at locations where they are most useful. In order to fully exploit the benefits of this new technology, protocols need to…

By integrating edge computing with parallel computing, distributed edge computing (DEC) makes use of distributed devices in edge networks to perform computing in parallel, which can substantially reduce service delays. In this paper, we…

Existing large-scale optimization schemes are challenged by both scalability and cyber-security. With the favorable scalability, adaptability, and flexibility, decentralized and distributed optimization paradigms are widely adopted in…

The Metaverse promises immersive, real-time experiences; however, meeting its stringent latency and resource demands remains a major challenge. Conventional optimization techniques struggle to respond effectively under dynamic edge…

We consider a heterogeneous network with mobile edge computing, where a user can offload its computation to one among multiple servers. In particular, we minimize the system-wide computation overhead by jointly optimizing the individual…

This article defines the QoS-guaranteed efficient cloudlet deploy problem in wireless metropolitan area network, which aims to minimize the average access delay of mobile users i.e. the average delay when service requests are successfully…
