Caching and Neutrality

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah, Aikaterini Argyraki

We are used to defining network neutrality as absence of traffic differentiation, like policing or shaping. These mechanisms, however, are often not what determines end-users’ quality of experience (QoE). Most content today is accessed through edge caches, ...

Worst-Case Delay Analysis of Time-Sensitive Networks with Network Calculus

Seyed Mohammadhossein Tabatabaee

Time-sensitive networks, as in the context of IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet), offer deterministic services with guaranteed bounded latency in order to support safety-critical applications. In this thesis, we ...

Localizing Traffic Differentiation

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah, Aikaterini Argyraki, Zeinab Shmeis

Network neutrality is important for users, content providers, policymakers, and regulators interested in understanding how network providers differentiate performance. When determining whether a network differentiates against certain traffic, it is importa ...

Large-scale traffic signal control and multimodal network design

Dimitrios Tsitsokas

Traffic congestion constitutes one of the most frequent, yet challenging, problems to address in the urban space. Caused by the concentration of population, whose mobility needs surpass the serving capacity of urban networks, congestion cannot be resolved ...

Deficit Round-Robin: A Second Network Calculus Analysis

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Seyed Mohammadhossein Tabatabaee

Deficit Round-Robin (DRR) is a widespread scheduling algorithm that provides fair queueing with variable-length packets. Bounds on worst-case delays for DRR were found by Boyer et al., who used a rigorous network calculus approach and characterized the ser ...

AstriFlash: A Flash-Based System for Online Services

Babak Falsafi, Siddharth Gupta, Lei Yan, Mark Johnathon Sutherland, Yunho Oh

Modern datacenters host datasets in DRAM to offer large-scale online services with tight tail-latency requirements. Unfortunately, as DRAM is expensive and increasingly difficult to scale, datacenter operators are forced to consider denser storage technolo ...

Energy-Efficient Design Techniques for High-Speed Wireline Serial Links

Firat Çelik

The exponential growth in computing power and multimedia services has caused a tremendous increase in data traffic in recent years. This increase in data traffic brings a strong demand for data bandwidth of electrical input/output (I/O) links and pushes th ...

Optimization methods for collaborative learning

Sai Praneeth Reddy Karimireddy

A traditional machine learning pipeline involves collecting massive amounts of data centrally on a server and training models to fit the data. However, increasing concerns about the privacy and security of user's data, combined with the sheer growth in the ...

Area-based equitable pricing strategies for multimodal urban networks with heterogeneous users

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Equity issues among travellers are critical in congestion pricing. Failure to treat equity can lead to low acceptability towards pricing. In this paper, we develop congestion pricing schemes to improve both equity and traffic performance, for multimodal ne ...

A Measure of Dynamical Efficiency for Multimodal Interconnected Urban Systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Leonardo Bellocchi

Complex network theory describes network performance mostly based on topological characteristics, like betweenness centrality. This work integrates concepts from complex networks and traffic engineering. We propose a new measure for spatial networks and, i ...

Managing Tail Latency in Datacenter-Scale File Systems Under Production Constraints

Willy Zwaenepoel, Ricardo Bianchini, Maria Fernanda Borge Chavez

Distributed file systems often exhibit high tail latencies, especially in large-scale datacenters and in the presence of competing (and possibly higher priority) workloads. This paper introduces techniques for managing tail latencies in these systems, whil ...

Merging into Single-Lane Roundabouts in the Presence of Uncertainty

Denis Gillet, Ezequiel González Debada

Merging efficiently into roundabouts represents a challenge for autonomous vehicles due to the speed difference between merging traffic flows and the lack of certainty regarding drivers' intent, specially when the road is shared with human drivers and/or i ...

MorphIT: Morphing Packet Reports for Internet Transparency

Bryan Alexander Ford, Aikaterini Argyraki, Georgia Fragkouli

Can we improve Internet transparency without worsening user anonymity? For a long time, researchers have been proposing transparency systems, where traffic reports produced at strategic network points help assess network behavior and verify service-level a ...

Network Neutrality Inference using Network Tomography

Ovidiu Sebastian Mara

Our work studies network neutrality, a property of communication networks which means that they treat all traffic the same, regardless of application, content provider or communication protocol. This is an important problem, because sometimes users suspect ...

Caching and Distributed Storage : Models, Limits and Designs

Saeid Sahraei

A simple task of storing a database or transferring it to a different point via a communication channel turns far more complex as the size of the database grows large. Limited bandwidth available for transmission plays a central role in this predicament. I ...

DYNAMIC CLUSTERING AND PROPAGATION OF CONGESTION IN LARGE TRAFFIC NETWORKS

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh

The problem of clustering in urban traffic networks has been mainly studied in static framework by only considering traffic conditions at a given time. Nevertheless, it is important to underline here that traffic is a strongly time-variant process and it n ...
