The first is about a new application domain of network tomography where there might be malicious nodes that can manipulate measurements to mislead network tomography. The second is a joint proposal with Dr. Nilanjan Chaudhuri and Dr. Tom La Porta to study mechanisms of failure cascading in interdependent power-communication networks, as well mechanisms to prevent […]
Paper on mechanism design accepted to AI^3 workshop
Our paper titled “Online Mechanism Design using Reinforcement Learning for Cloud Resource Allocation” is accepted to the AAMAS-IJCAI Workshop on Agents and Incentives in Artificial Intelligence (AI^3) 2018. This is a cross-border, cross-project work with Prof. Sebastian Stein at University of Southampton that is funded by the DAIS-ITA program. The paper talks about how to […]
Congratulations to the newly named Dr. Diman Zad Tootaghaj!
Diman successfully defended her thesis on May 23 (yes, this post is delayed). She will start in July as a post-doc at HP Labs, working on some very interesting projects on SDN. Best luck, Diman!
Congratulate Hanlin for receiving the 2018 Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award
This departmental award recognizes 2 of the best TAs and RAs, respectively, in the CSE department for the year. Keep up the good work, Hanlin!
Edge caching paper accepted to JSAC
Our paper “Proactive Retention-aware Caching with Multi-path Routing for Wireless Edge Networks” is accepted to the JSAC special issue on Caching for Communication Systems and Networks. This is the journal version of our MobiHoc’17 paper “Hold’em Caching: Proactive Retention-Aware Caching with Multi-path Routing for Wireless Edge Networks“. It addresses an interesting fact that storage medium […]
SPRS paper accepted to ICDCS’18
Our work on “It’s Hard to Share: Joint Service Placement and Request Scheduling in Edge Clouds with Sharable and Non-sharable Resources” was accepted to IEEE ICDCS 2018. This belongs to our continuous line of works on Mobile Edge Computing, from an optimization perspective. The key observation is that sharing resources across services, although improving system […]
Ting spoke at the 31st Annual Glenna Hazeltine Women in Mathematics, Science and Technology Conference
This is an annual event hosted by Millersville University to encourage the best female high/middle school students to pursue their dreams and achieve the maximum achievements that they are built for. Attendants are selected from 48 schools in 8 Pennsylvania counties. This is the second year that Ting spoke as a Role Model to the […]
Proposal on Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) funded by International Technology Alliance (ITA)
Our white paper titled “Distributed Analytics in Dynamic Coalition Environment: Placement, Scheduling, and Validation” was selected for funding in BPP18 (January 2018-January 2020) of the International Technology Alliance (ITA) program funded by US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and UK Ministry of Defense (MoD). Btw, this was the highest-rated white paper in TA1 (technical area 1), […]
Ting received the Distinguished TPC Member Award from IEEE INFOCOM 2018
Thanks to the peer reviewers for their positive evaluations! This is her second time receiving this award. The first time was in 2016, when the award was first established.
Two papers accepted to INFOCOM’18
Both on the hot topic of “edge computing” and highly related to the DAIS ITA problem we will start working on in January 2018: “When Edge Meets Learning: Adaptive Control for Resource-Constrained Distributed Machine Learning”: analysis-based optimization of model training on distributed dataset “Service Entity Placement for Social Virtual Reality Applications on Edge Computing”: the […]
