To overcome intrinsic hardware limitations of UEs, computational offloading was proposed. The combination of UE and seemingly endless computational capacity in the cloud aims to cope with those limitations. Numerous frameworks leverage Edge Computing (EC) but a significant drawback of this is the required infrastructure. Some use cases however, do not benefit from lower response time and can remain in the cloud, where more potent resources are at one’s disposal. Main contributions are to determine computational demands, allocate serverless resources, partition code and integrate computational offloading into a modern software deployment process. By focusing on non-time-critical use cases, drawbacks of EC can be neglected to create a more developer-friendly approach. Originality lies in the resource allocation of serverless resources for such endeavours, appropriate deployment of partitions and integration into CI/CD pipelines. Methodology used will be Design Science Research. Thus, many iterations and proof-of-concept implementations yield knowledge and artefacts.","PeriodicalId":225883,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 42nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132352618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is fully compatible with Monero without requiring any modification of the current Monero blockchain. MoNet preserves transaction fungibility, i.e., transactions over MoNet and Monero are indistinguishable, and guarantees anonymity of Monero and MoNet users by avoiding any potential privacy leakage introduced by the new payment channel network. We also propose a new crypto primitive, named Verifiable Consecutive One-way Function (VCOF). It allows one to generate a sequence of statement-witness pairs in a consecutive and verifiable way, and these statement-witness pairs are one-way, namely it is easy to compute a statement-witness pair by knowing any of the pre-generated pairs, but hard in an opposite flow. By using VCOF, a signer can produce a series of consecutive adaptor signatures CAS. We further propose the generic construction of consecutive adaptor signature as an important building block of MoNet. We develop a proof-of-concept implementation for MoNet, and our evaluation shows that MoNet can reach the same transaction throughput as Lightning Network, the payment channel network for Bitcoin. Moreover, we provide a security analysis of MoNet under the Universal Composable (UC) security framework.","PeriodicalId":225883,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 42nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130199076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the sleeping model, only the rounds in which a node is awake are counted for the awake complexity, while sleeping rounds are ignored. This is motivated by the fact that a node spends resources only in its awake rounds and hence the goal is to minimize the awake complexity.Our framework allows us to design distributed MIS algorithms that have ${mathcal{O}}({text{polyloglog }}n)$ (worst-case) awake complexity in certain important graph classes which satisfy the so-called adjacency property. Informally, the adjacency property guarantees that the graph can be partitioned into an appropriate number of classes so that each node has at least one neighbor belonging to every class. Graphs that can satisfy the adjacency property are random graphs with large clustering coefficient such as random geometric graphs as well as line graphs of regular (or near regular) graphs.We first apply our framework to design two randomized distributed MIS algorithms for random geometric graphs of arbitrary dimension d (even non-constant). The first algorithm has ${mathcal{O}}({text{polyloglog }}n)$ (worst-case) awake complexity with high probability, where n is the number of nodes in the graph. 1 This means that any node in the network spends only ${mathcal{O}}({text{polyloglog }}n)$ awake rounds; this is almost exponentially better than the (traditional) time complexity of ${mathcal{O}}({text{log }}n)$ rounds (where there is no distinction between awake and sleeping rounds) known for distributed MIS algorithms on general graphs or even the faster ${mathcal{O}}left({sqrt {frac{{{text{log }}n}}{{{text{loglog }}n}}} }right)$ rounds known for Erdos-Renyi random graphs. However, the (traditional) time complexity of our first algorithm is quite large—essentially proportional to the degree of the graph. Our second algorithm has a slightly worse awake complexity of ${mathcal{O}}(d,{text{polyloglog }}n)$, but achieves a significantly better time complexity of ${mathcal{O}}(d,log n,{text{polyloglog }}n)$ rounds whp.We also show that our framework can be used to design ${mathcal{O}}({text{polyloglog }}n)$ awake complexity MIS algorithms in other types of random graphs, namely an augmented Erdos-Renyi random graph that has a large clustering coefficient.","PeriodicalId":225883,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 42nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133579812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose Curb, a novel group-based SDN control plane that seamlessly integrates blockchain and BFT consensus to ensure byzantine fault tolerance, verifiability, traceability, and scalability within one framework. Curb supports trusted flow rule updates and adaptive controller reassignment. Importantly, we leverage a group-based control plane to realize a scalable network where the message complexity of each round is upper bounded by O(N), where N is the number of controllers, to reduce overheads caused by blockchain consensus.

However, these applications are constrained by their inherent high computing demand and the limitation of vehicular computing power. Vehicular edge computing (VEC) has shown great potential to support these applications by providing computing and storage capacity in close proximity. For facing the heterogeneous nature of in-vehicle applications and the highly dynamic network topology in the Internet-of-Vehicle (IoV) environment, how to achieve efficient scheduling of computational tasks is a critical problem. Accordingly, we design a two-layer distributed online task scheduling framework to maximize the task acceptance ratio (TAR) under various QoS requirements when facing unbalanced task distribution. Briefly, we implement the computation offloading and transmission scheduling policies for the vehicles to optimize the onboard computational task scheduling. Meanwhile, in the edge computing layer, a new distributed task dispatching policy is developed to maximize the utilization of system computing power and minimize the data transmission delay caused by vehicle motion. Through single-vehicle and multi-vehicle simulations, we evaluate the performance of our framework, and the experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms. Moreover, we conduct ablation experiments to validate the effectiveness of our core algorithms.","PeriodicalId":225883,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 42nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133437808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with traditional sender-driven try-and-back-off protocols (e.g., TCP and its variants), receiver-driven protocols (RDPs) achieve the ultra-low transmission latency by reacting to credits or tokens from receivers. However, RDPs face fairness challenges when coexisting with sender-driven protocols (SDPs) in multi-tenant data centers. Their flows barely survive during coexistence with SDP flows since the delicate scheduling of their credits is disrupted and overwhelmed by SDP data packets. To tackle this issue, we propose the Equivalent Rate Adaptor (ERA), a scheme that converts the proactive try-and-back-off mode of SDPs to an RDP-like credit-based reactive mode. ERA leverages the advertised window field in ACK headers at the receiver side to elaborately limit the number of the in-flight packets or bytes in SDPs and thus reduce their impacts on RDPs. Therefore, ERA not only ensures the fairness between two different types of protocols, but also maintains the low latency feature of RDPs. Moreover, ERA is lightweight, flexible, and transparent to tenants by embedding into the prevalent Open vSwitch in the public cloud. The evaluation of both test-bed and NS2 simulation shows that ERA enables SDP flows and RDP flows to maintain good throughput and share the bandwidth fairly, improving the bandwidth stolen by up to 94.29%.","PeriodicalId":225883,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 42nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122134502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research starts to use Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to enhance drone navigation given their remarkable predictive capability for visual perception. However, existing solutions either run DNN inference tasks on drones in-situ, impeded by the limited onboard resource, or offload the computation to external servers which may incur large network latency. Few works consider jointly optimizing the offloading decisions along with image transmission configurations and adapting them on the fly. In this paper, we propose AdaDrone, an edge computing assisted drone navigation framework that can dynamically adjust task execution location, input resolution, and image compression ratio in order to achieve low inference latency, high prediction accuracy, and long flight distances. Specifically, we first augment state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks for drone navigation and define a novel metric called Quality of Navigation as our optimization objective which can effectively capture the above goals. We then design a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based neural scheduler for which an information encoder is devised to reshape the state features and thus improve its learning ability. We finally implement a prototype of our framework wherein a drone board for navigation and scheduling control interacts with edge servers for task offloading and a simulator for performance evaluation. Extensive experimental results show that AdaDrone can reduce end-to-end latency by 28.06% and extend the flight distance by up to 27.28% compared with non-adaptive solutions.","PeriodicalId":225883,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 42nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124097534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although sparse sensing technologies have been proposed to infer missing data based on partial sampled data, they usually focus on data inference while neglecting the sampling process, restraining the inference efficiency. In addition, their inferring methods highly depend on data linearity correlations, which become less effective when data are not linearly correlated. In this paper, we propose, Compact IOT Data CollEction, namely CODE, to conduct precise data matrix sampling and efficient inference. Particularly, CODE integrates two major components, i.e., cluster-based matrix sampling and Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)-based matrix inference, to reduce the data collection cost and guarantee the data benefits, respectively. In the sampling component, a cluster-based sampling approach is devised, in which data clustering is first conducted and then a two-step sampling is performed in accordance with the number of clusters and clustering errors. For the inference component, a GAN-based model is developed to estimate the full matrix, which consists of a generator network that learns to generate a fake matrix, and a discriminator network that learns to discriminate the fake matrix from the real one. A reference implementation of CODE is conducted under three operational large-scale IoT systems, and extensive data-driven experiment results are provided to demonstrate its efficiency and robustness.","PeriodicalId":225883,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 42nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124102000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we introduce a densely-distributed edge resource model that leverages capacity-constrained volunteer edge nodes to support elastic computation offloading. Our model also enables the use of geo-distributed edge nodes to further support elasticity. Collectively, these features raise the issue of edge selection. We present a distributed edge selection approach that relies on client-centric views of available edge nodes to optimize average end-to-end latency, with considerations of system heterogeneity, resource contention and node churn. Elasticity is achieved by fine-grained performance probing, dynamic load balancing, and proactive multi-edge node connections per client. Evaluations are conducted in both real-world volunteer environments and emulated platforms to show how a common edge application, namely AR-based cognitive assistance, can benefit from our approach and deliver low-latency responses to distributed users at scale.","PeriodicalId":225883,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 42nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128196202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
