Vehicular crowdsensing is anticipated to become a key catalyst for data-driven optimization in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) domain. Yet, the expected growth in massive Machine-type Communication (mMTC) caused by…
In this paper, we study the market-oriented online bi-objective service scheduling problem for pleasingly parallel jobs with variable resources in cloud environments, from the perspective of SaaS (Software-as-as-Service) providers who…
A matching in a two-sided market often incurs an externality: a matched resource may become unavailable to the other side of the market, at least for a while. This is especially an issue in online platforms involving human experts as the…
Pervasive networks formed by users' mobile devices have the potential to exploit a rich set of distributed service components that can be composed to provide each user with a multitude of application level services. However, in many…
Mobile crowdsensing harnesses the sensing power of modern smartphones to collect and analyze data beyond the scale of what was previously possible. In a mobile crowdsensing system, it is paramount to incentivize smartphone users to provide…
Mobile micro-clouds are promising for enabling performance-critical cloud applications. However, one challenge therein is the dynamics at the network edge. In this paper, we study how to place service instances to cope with these dynamics,…
Online Freight Exchange Systems (OFEX) play a crucial role in modern freight logistics by facilitating real-time matching between shippers and carrier. However, efficient combinatorial bundling of transporation jobs remains a bottleneck. We…
Micro-delivery services offer promising solutions for on-demand city logistics, but their success relies on efficient real-time delivery operations and fleet management. On-demand meal delivery platforms seek to optimize real-time…
The Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) system located close to the client allows mobile smart devices to offload their computations onto edge servers, enabling them to benefit from low-latency computing services. Both cloud service providers and…
In order to stimulate secure sensing for Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as healthcare and traffic monitoring, mobile crowdsensing (MCS) systems have to address security threats, such as jamming, spoofing and faked sensing…
To be able to measure relevant data for transport infrastructure monitoring and to obtain maintenance indicators in a crowd sensing-based fashion, a set of requirements (both from hardware and software points of view) needs to be satisfied.…
Load balance is important for MapReduce to reduce job duration, increase parallel efficiency, etc. Previous work focuses on coarse-grained scheduling. This study concerns fine-grained scheduling on MapReduce operations. Each operation…
Autonomous Mobility On Demand (MOD) systems can utilize fleet management strategies in order to provide a high customer quality of service (QoS). Previous works on autonomous MOD systems have developed methods for rebalancing single…
Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is a promising technology to enhance the quality of service, particularly for low-latency services, by enabling computing offloading to edge servers (ESs) in close proximity. To avoid network congestion,…
Mobile edge computing (MEC) has emerged as one of the key technical aspects of the fifth-generation (5G) networks. The integration of MEC with resource-constrained unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could enable flexible resource provisioning…
Spatial crowdsourcing (SC) engages large worker pools for location-based tasks, attracting growing research interest. However, prior SC task allocation approaches exhibit limitations in computational efficiency, balanced matching, and…
Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems have become a fixture in urban transportation networks, with the rapid growth of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft. Ride-hailing is typically complemented with ridepooling options, which can reduce…
The demand for stringent interactive quality-of-service has intensified in both mobile edge computing (MEC) and cloud systems, driven by the imperative to improve user experiences. As a result, the processing of computation-intensive tasks…
Collaborative Mobile Crowdsourcing (CMCS) allows platforms to recruit worker teams to collaboratively execute complex sensing tasks. The efficiency of such collaborations could be influenced by trust relationships among workers. To obtain…
The wide spread of mobile devices has enabled a new paradigm of innovation called Mobile Crowdsourcing (MCS) where the concept is to allow entities, e.g., individuals or local authorities, to hire workers to help from the crowd of connected…
