Integrating tasks with different functions and criticality levels onto the same hardware platform forms mixed-criticality systems (MCSs). Semi-clairvoyant scheduling, in which the mode transition is revealed at the arrival of high-criticality ...

Alongside advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), significant progress has been made in big data processing, edge/cloud computing, and ubiquitous computing in the past two decades. These advancements catalyzed the development and adoption ...

Docker is a lightweight virtualization technology adopted by numerous companies to develop, deploy, and manage applications. However, All Docker containers running on the same system share system resources, leading to performance interference ...

Medical consortium provides tamper-proof data sharing of patient medical records. Since the communications of patients’ devices with hospital servers are accomplished through insecure mediums, scholars have suggested secure authentication ...

Supporting latency-sensitive and computation-intensive applications is hardly possible for mobile devices (MDs) with limited battery capacity and low computing resources. Therefore, mobile edge computing (MEC) and wireless power transfer (WPT) ...

• Formulating the problem of decentralized computation offloading in NOMA-assisted MEC.
• Aiming at reducing delay and energy of MDs under deadline and battery level constraints.
• Proposing an offloading scheme based on multi-agent DRL ...

Electronic voting (E-voting), a crucial method in modern society, balances efficiency with the need for equity, reliability, and privacy to accurately record votes and maintain democracy. However, there is the challenge of potential leakage of ...

Gaussian processes (GPs), known for their flexibility as non-parametric models, have been widely used in practice involving sensitive data (e.g., healthcare, finance) from multiple sources. With the challenge of data isolation and the need for ...

This paper proposes a cost-minimization scheduling algorithm for the joint optimization of task offloading and resource allocation for workflow applications in a mobile edge computing (MEC)-supported cyber–physical system. We model this ...

Homomorphic encryption is an important technology for protecting data privacy, and the performance of modular multiplication directly affects the efficiency of homomorphic encryption. Currently, there are numerous FPGA-based acceleration ...

The Non-volatile Memory (NVM) technology belongs to a novel class of storage devices that offer byte-addressability like DRAM and durability as in persistent storage. The NVM is known as Storage Class Memory (SCM), Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), or ...

Today, Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), as an emerging path to implementing serverless computing paradigm, seems quite promising in responding to the growing increase in requests for microservices. However, the serverless computing model also brings ...

In General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU), the use of CPUs is combined with that of GPUs. CPUs are used for sequential code, while GPUs are used for parallel code. GPGPU has been enabled by two key factors: (i) the ...
