Mean Field Games in Nudge Systems for Societal Networks
We consider the general problem of resource sharing in societal networks, consisting of interconnected communication, transportation, energy, and other networks important to the functioning of society. Participants in such network need to take decisions ...
Ensuring Persistent Content in Opportunistic Networks via Stochastic Stability Analysis
The emerging device-to-device communication solutions and the abundance of mobile applications and services make opportunistic networking not only a feasible solution but also an important component of future wireless networks. Specifically, the ...
QMLE: A Methodology for Statistical Inference of Service Demands from Queueing Data
Estimating the demands placed by services on physical resources is an essential step for the definition of performance models. For example, scalability analysis relies on these parameters to predict queueing delays under increasing loads. In this article,...
Scale-Out vs Scale-Up: A Study of ARM-based SoCs on Server-Class Workloads
ARM 64-bit processing has generated enthusiasm to develop ARM-based servers that are targeted for both data centers and supercomputers. In addition to the server-class components and hardware advancements, the ARM software environment has grown ...

In only a decade, cloud computing has emerged from a pursuit for a service-driven information and communication technology (ICT), becoming a significant fraction of the ICT market. Responding to the growth of the market, many alternative cloud services ...
On the Convergence of the TTL Approximation for an LRU Cache under Independent Stationary Request Processes
The modeling and analysis of an LRU cache is extremely challenging as exact results for the main performance metrics (e.g., hit rate) are either lacking or cannot be used because of their high computational complexity for large caches. As a result, ...
