The overall increase in traffic on the World Wide Web is augmenting user-perceived
response times from popular Web sites, especially in conjunction with special events …

In this work we study the problem of using machine-learned predictions to improve
performance of online algorithms. We consider two classical problems, ski rental and non …

In this paper we present pFabric, a minimalistic datacenter transport design that provides
near theoretically optimal flow completion times even at the 99th percentile for short flows …

Today's data centers face extreme challenges in providing low latency. However, fair
sharing, a principle commonly adopted in current congestion control protocols, is far from …

Recently, adopting mobile energy chargers to replenish the energy supply of sensor nodes
in wireless sensor networks has gained increasing attention from the research community …

Serverless computing has seen rapid growth due to the ease-of-use and cost-efficiency it
provides. However, function scheduling, a critical component of serverless systems, has …

In this paper, we survey different existing schemes for the transmission of flows in Data
Center Networks (DCNs). The transport of flows in DCNs must cope with the bandwidth …

Serverless computing has emerged as a new paradigm for running short-lived computations
in the cloud. Due to its ability to handle IoT workloads, there has been considerable interest …

For provisioning large-scale online applications such as web search, social networks and
advertisement systems, data centers face extreme challenges in providing low latency for …

Is it possible to reduce the expected response time of every request at a web server, simply
by changing the order in which we schedule the requests? That is the question we ask in …
