In a realistic distributed storage environment, storage nodes are usually placed in racks, a metallic support designed to accommodate electronic equipment. It is known that the communication (bandwidth) cost between nodes which are in the…

This work considers the problem of finding analytical expressions for the expected values of dis- tributed computing performance metrics when the underlying communication network has a complex structure. Through active probing tests a real…

Cloud computing changed the way of computing as utility services offered through public network. Selecting multiple providers for various computational requirements improves performance and minimizes cost of cloud services than choosing a…

One of the primary objectives of a distributed storage system is to reliably store large amounts of source data for long durations using a large number $N$ of unreliable storage nodes, each with $c$ bits of storage capacity. Storage nodes…

The demand for artificial intelligence has grown significantly over the last decade and this growth has been fueled by advances in machine learning techniques and the ability to leverage hardware acceleration. However, in order to increase…

We consider a parallel system of $m$ identical machines prone to unpredictable crashes and restarts, trying to cope with the continuous arrival of tasks to be executed. Tasks have different computational requirements (i.e., processing time…

With the rapid transformation of computer hardware and algorithms, mobile networking has evolved from low data carrying capacity and high latency to better-optimized networks, either by enhancing the digital network or using different…

Distributed databases often suffer unequal distribution of data among storage nodes, which is known as `data skew'. Data skew arises from a number of causes such as removal of existing storage nodes and addition of new empty nodes to the…

Scheduling is essentially a decision-making process that enables resource sharing among a number of activities by determining their execution order on the set of available resources. The emergence of distributed systems brought new…

Nowadays, with the widespread of smartphones and other portable gadgets equipped with a variety of sensors, data is ubiquitous available and the focus of machine learning has shifted from being able to infer from small training samples to…

Datacenters provide cost-effective and flexible access to scalable compute and storage resources necessary for today's cloud computing needs. A typical datacenter is made up of thousands of servers connected with a large network and usually…

We investigate the effect of omnipresent cloud storage on distributed computing. We specify a network model with links of prescribed bandwidth that connect standard processing nodes, and, in addition, passive storage nodes. Each passive…

The worlds of computing, communication, and storage have for a long time been treated separately, and even the recent trends of cloud computing, distributed computing, and mobile edge computing have not fundamentally changed the role of…

Cloud Computing is a paradigm of both parallel processing and distributed computing. It offers computing facilities as a utility service in pay as par use manner. Virtualization, self service provisioning, elasticity and pay per use are the…

The exponential increase of availability of digital data and the necessity to process it in business and scientific fields has literally forced upon us the need to analyze and mine useful knowledge from it. Traditionally data mining has…

The majority of works in distributed storage networks assume a simple network model with a collection of identical storage nodes with the same communication cost between the nodes. In this paper, we consider a realistic multi-rack…

Cloud computing helps reduce costs, increase business agility and deploy solutions with a high return on investment for many types of applications. However, data security is of premium importance to many users and often restrains their…

Nowadays, quantum computing has reached the engineering phase, with fully-functional quantum processors integrating hundred of noisy qubits available. Yet -- to fully unveil the potential of quantum computing out of the labs and into…

Databases are an indispensable resource for retrieving up-to-date information. However, curious database operators may be able to find out the users' interests when the users buy something from the database. For these cases, if the digital…

Cloud computing can and does mean different things to different people. The common characteristics most shares are on-demand secure access to metered services from nearly anywhere and dislocation of data from inside to outside the…
