This paper introduces a unified model of consistency and isolation that minimizes the gap between how these guarantees are defined and how they are perceived. Our approach is premised on a simple observation: applications view storage…

Isolation is one of the more relevant attributes associated to the idea of network slicing, introduced by 5G services. Through isolation it is expected that slices from different customers could gracefully coexist without interfering each…

Most databases can be configured to operate under isolation levels weaker than serializability. These enforce fewer restrictions on the concurrent access to data and consequently allow for more performant implementations. While formal…

The most demanding tenants of shared clouds require complete isolation from their neighbors, in order to guarantee that their application performance is not affected by other tenants. Unfortunately, while shared clouds can offer an option…

Although ACID is the previous golden rule for transaction support, durability is now not a basic requirement for data storage. Rather, high availability is becoming the first-class property required by online applications. We show that high…

Nowadays, tiered architectures are widely accepted for constructing large scale information systems. In this context application servers often form the bottleneck for a system's efficiency. An application server exposes an object oriented…

This paper is about a new way for programming distributed applications: the service-oriented one. It is a concept paper based upon our experience in developing a theory and a language for programming services. Both the theoretical…

Partitioning hypervisor solutions are becoming increasingly popular, to ensure stringent security and safety requirements related to isolation between co-hosted applications and to make more efficient use of available hardware resources.…

Anonymous Single-Sign-On authentication schemes have been proposed to allow users to access a service protected by a verifier without revealing their identity which has become more important due to the introduction of strong privacy…

Many common ``consumer'' applications, i.e., applications widely used by non-technical users, are now provided by a very small number of companies, even if that set of companies differ across geographic regions, or rely on a very small…

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a type of software service delivery model which encompasses a broad range of business opportunities and challenges. Users and service providers are reluctant to integrate their business into SaaS due to its…

Motivated by the growing importance of demand response in modern power system's operations, we propose an architecture and supporting algorithms for privacy preserving thermal inertial load management as a service provided by the load…

Benefiting from the technology based strategies, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been able to achieve the general goals such as agility, flexibility, reusability and efficiency. Nevertheless, technical conditions alone cannot…

This paper discusses that there is significant benefit in providing stronger security at lower layers of the network stack for hosts connected to a network. It claims to reduce the attack vulnerability of a networked host by providing…

Companies have increasingly turned to application service providers (ASPs) or Software as a Service (SaaS) vendors to offer specialized web-based services that will cut costs and provide specific and focused applications to users. The…

OLTP applications with high workloads that cannot be served by a single server need to scale out to multiple servers. Typically, scaling out entails assigning a different partition of the application state to each server. But data…

In network slicing, the network operator needs to satisfy the service level agreements of multiple slices at the same time and on the same physical infrastructure. To do so with reduced provisioned resources, the operator may consider…

As users increasingly rely on cloud-based computing services, it is important to ensure that uploaded speech data remains private. Existing solutions rely either on server-side methods or focus on hiding speaker identity. While these…

Location-Based Services (LBSs) provide invaluable aid in the everyday activities of many individuals, however they also pose serious threats to the user' privacy. There is, therefore, a growing interest in the development of mechanisms to…

Service providers commonly provide only a fixed catalog of services to their clients. Both clients and service providers can benefit from service negotiation, in which a client makes a query for a specific service, and the provider counters…
