Abstract

Serverless computing is a cloud computing model that abstracts server management, allowing developers to focus solely on writing code without concerns about the underlying infrastructure. This paradigm shift is transforming application development by reducing time to market, lowering costs, and enhancing scalability. In serverless computing, functions are event-driven and automatically scale in response to events such as data changes or user requests. Despite its advantages, serverless computing presents several research challenges, including managing state for ephemeral functions, mitigating cold start delays, optimizing function composition, debugging, efficient auto-scaling, resource management, and ensuring security and compliance. This special issue focused on addressing these challenges by promoting research on innovative solutions and exploring the potential of serverless computing in new application domains.

面向下一代应用程序开发的无服务器计算

无服务器计算是一种云计算模式，它将服务器管理抽象化，让开发人员只需专注于编写代码，而无需关心底层基础设施。这种模式的转变正在通过缩短上市时间、降低成本和提高可扩展性来改变应用程序开发。在无服务器计算中，功能是由事件驱动的，可根据数据变化或用户请求等事件自动扩展。尽管无服务器计算具有诸多优势，但它也带来了一些研究挑战，包括管理短暂函数的状态、缓解冷启动延迟、优化函数组成、调试、高效自动扩展、资源管理以及确保安全性和合规性。本特刊主要通过促进创新解决方案的研究和探索无服务器计算在新应用领域的潜力来应对这些挑战。

期刊介绍： Computing infrastructures and systems are constantly evolving, resulting in increasingly complex and collaborative scientific applications. To cope with these advancements, there is a growing need for collaborative tools that can effectively map, control, and execute these applications. Furthermore, with the explosion of Big Data, there is a requirement for innovative methods and infrastructures to collect, analyze, and derive meaningful insights from the vast amount of data generated. This necessitates the integration of computational and storage capabilities, databases, sensors, and human collaboration. Future Generation Computer Systems aims to pioneer advancements in distributed systems, collaborative environments, high-performance computing, and Big Data analytics. It strives to stay at the forefront of developments in grids, clouds, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to effectively address the challenges posed by these wide-area, fully distributed sensing and computing systems.
