Mobile-edge computing (MEC) has emerged as a prominent technique to provide mobile services with high computation requirement, by migrating the computation-intensive tasks from the mobile devices to the nearby MEC servers. To reduce the…

Autoscaling is a hallmark of cloud computing as it allows flexible just-in-time allocation and release of computational resources in response to dynamic and often unpredictable workloads. This is especially important for web applications…

Cloud computing today is dominated by multi-server jobs. These are jobs that request multiple servers simultaneously and hold onto all of these servers for the duration of the job. Multi-server jobs add a lot of complexity to the…

In this paper, we study problem of efficient service relocation (i.e., changing assigned data center for a selected client node) in elastic optical networks (EONs) in order to increase network performance (measured by the volume of accepted…

The state-of-art of the technology focuses on data processing to deal with massive amount of data. Cloud computing is an emerging technology, which enables one to accomplish the aforementioned objective, leading towards improved business…

In geographically-distributed systems, communication latencies are non-negligible. The perceived processing time of a request is thus composed of the time needed to route the request to the server and the true processing time. Once a…

In this paper, we consider a load balancing system under a general pull-based policy. In particular, each arrival is randomly dispatched to one of the servers whose queue lengths are below a threshold, if there are any; otherwise, this…

A coflow is a collection of parallel flows belonging to the same job. It has the all-or-nothing property: a coflow is not complete until the completion of all its constituent flows. In this paper, we focus on optimizing \emph{coflow-level…

In this paper, we shed new light on a classical scheduling problem: given a slot-timed, constant-capacity server, what short-run scheduling decisions must be made to provide long-run service guarantees to competing flows of unit-sized…

Vehicles in platoons need to process many tasks to support various real-time vehicular applications. When a task arrives at a vehicle, the vehicle may not process the task due to its limited computation resource. In this case, it usually…

Our interest lies in load balancing jobs in large scale systems consisting of multiple dispatchers and FCFS servers. In the absence of any information on job sizes, dispatchers typically use queue length information reported by the servers…

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) emerges as an essential part of the upcoming Fifth Generation (5G) and future beyond-5G mobile communication systems. It adds computational power towards the edge of cellular networks, much closer to…

With the increasing popularity of cloud computing, datacenters are becoming more important than ever before. A typical datacenter typically consists of a large number of homogeneous or heterogeneous servers connected by networks.…

We consider a discrete-time system comprising a first-come-first-served queue, a non-preemptive server, and a stationary non-work-conserving scheduler. New tasks enter the queue according to a Bernoulli process with a pre-specified arrival…

Modern data centers serve workloads which are capable of exploiting parallelism. When a job parallelizes across multiple servers it will complete more quickly, but jobs receive diminishing returns from being allocated additional servers.…

The energy consumption of computer and communication systems does not scale linearly with the workload. A system uses a significant amount of energy even when idle or lightly loaded. A widely reported solution to resource management in…

With the Internet of Things (IoT) becoming a major component of our daily life, understanding how to improve the quality of service (QoS) for IoT applications through fog computing is becoming an important problem. In this paper, we…

Cloud Computing is the latest blooming technology in the era of Computer Science and Information Technology domain. There is an enormous pool of data centres, which are termed as Clouds where the services and associated data are being…

In Cloud systems, we often deal with jobs that arrive and depart in an online manner. Upon its arrival, a job should be assigned to a server. Each job has a size which defines the amount of resources that it needs. Servers have uniform…

An ever increasing number of applications can employ aerial unmanned vehicles, or so-called drones, to perform different sensing and possibly also actuation tasks from the air. In some cases, the data that is captured at a given point has…
