Abstract Scaling ACID transactions in a cloud database is hard, and providing elastic scalability even harder. In this paper, we present our solution for elastic scalable transaction processing in LeanXcale, an industrial-strength NewSQL database system. Unlike previous […]
Abstract Ontologies have become the de-facto information representation method in the semantic web domain, but recently gained popularity in other domains such as cloud computing. In this context, ontologies enable service discovery, effective comparison and […]
Abstract Serverless environments have attracted significant attention in recent years as a result of their agility in execution as well as inherent scaling capabilities as a cloud-native execution model. While extensive analysis has been performed […]
Abstract Edge Computing (EC) performs computation at the close proximity to the end devices and reduces dependency to the Cloud and Internet. It also overcomes the Quality of Service (QoS) and latency issues that come […]
Abstract Modern cloud computing advances have been pressing application modernization in the last 15 years, stressing the need for application redesign towards the use of more distributed and ephemeral resources. From the initial IaaS and […]
Abstract Addressing increased demand in cloud environments is typically achieved through auto-scaling the use of further resources allocated. However this comes at the trade-off of increased back-end resource stress as well as runtime costs. In […]
Abstract The availability of decentralized edge computing locations as well as their combination with more centralized Cloud solutions enables the investigation of various tradeoffs for application component placement in order to optimize application behavior and […]
