Yilei’s paper on “Looking Glass of NFV: Inferring the Structure and State of NFV Network from External Observation”, Vaji’s paper on “Service Placement and Request Scheduling for Data-intensive Applications in Edge Clouds“, and our collaborator Stephen’s work on “Service Placement with Provable Guarantees in Heterogeneous Edge Computing Systems“, all funded by DAIS ITA. Congratulations to […]
Paper on “Fast Network Configuration in SDN” accepted to TNSM
The paper considers a hot problem, fast rule updates, in the context of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) from a novel perspective of path selection. The solution essentially load-balances among switches to minimize update time at the straggler switch. See details at TNSM’18.
Presentations & posters at ITA AFM
At the DAIS ITA Annual Fall Meeting this week (9/10-12/2018), we presented two papers and three posters based on our ITA-funded projects and related projects. These are based on four long papers currently under submission, so stay tuned. First-time formal presentations for Hanlin and Yilei, good job! Besides interesting discussions, we also had a great […]
Proposals on “Adversarial Network Tomography” and “Cascade Modeling, Prevention, and Recovery” are funded by NSF
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 […]
