Performance Optimization Of Big Data Computing Workflows For Batch And Stream Data Processing In Multi-Clouds, Huiyan Cao
Dissertations
Workflow techniques have been widely used as a major computing solution in many science domains. With the rapid deployment of cloud infrastructures around the globe and the economic benefits of cloud-based computing and storage services, an increasing number of scientific workflows have migrated or are in active transition to clouds. As the scale of scientific applications continues to grow, it is now common to deploy various data- and network-intensive computing workflows such as serial computing workflows, MapReduce/Spark-based workflows, and Storm-based stream data processing workflows in multi-cloud environments, where inter-cloud data transfer oftentimes plays a significant role in both workflow performance …
Semantic, Integrated Keyword Search Over Structured And Loosely Structured Databases, Xinge Lu
Semantic, Integrated Keyword Search Over Structured And Loosely Structured Databases, Xinge Lu
Dissertations
Keyword search has been seen in recent years as an attractive way for querying data with some form of structure. Indeed, it allows simple users to extract information from databases without mastering a complex structured query language and without having knowledge of the schema of the data. It also allows for integrated search of heterogeneous data sources. However, as keyword queries are ambiguous and not expressive enough, keyword search cannot scale satisfactorily on big datasets and the answers are, in general, of low accuracy. Therefore, flat keyword search alone cannot efficiently return high quality results on large data with structure. …
Hybrid Deep Neural Networks For Mining Heterogeneous Data, Xiurui Hou
Hybrid Deep Neural Networks For Mining Heterogeneous Data, Xiurui Hou
Dissertations
In the era of big data, the rapidly growing flood of data represents an immense opportunity. New computational methods are desired to fully leverage the potential that exists within massive structured and unstructured data. However, decision-makers are often confronted with multiple diverse heterogeneous data sources. The heterogeneity includes different data types, different granularities, and different dimensions, posing a fundamental challenge in many applications. This dissertation focuses on designing hybrid deep neural networks for modeling various kinds of data heterogeneity.
The first part of this dissertation concerns modeling diverse data types, the first kind of data heterogeneity. Specifically, image data and …
Energy And Performance-Optimized Scheduling Of Tasks In Distributed Cloud And Edge Computing Systems, Haitao Yuan
Energy And Performance-Optimized Scheduling Of Tasks In Distributed Cloud And Edge Computing Systems, Haitao Yuan
Dissertations
Infrastructure resources in distributed cloud data centers (CDCs) are shared by heterogeneous applications in a high-performance and cost-effective way. Edge computing has emerged as a new paradigm to provide access to computing capacities in end devices. Yet it suffers from such problems as load imbalance, long scheduling time, and limited power of its edge nodes. Therefore, intelligent task scheduling in CDCs and edge nodes is critically important to construct energy-efficient cloud and edge computing systems. Current approaches cannot smartly minimize the total cost of CDCs, maximize their profit and improve quality of service (QoS) of tasks because of aperiodic arrival …
Changing The Focus: Worker-Centric Optimization In Human-In-The-Loop Computations, Mohammadreza Esfandiari
Changing The Focus: Worker-Centric Optimization In Human-In-The-Loop Computations, Mohammadreza Esfandiari
Dissertations
A myriad of emerging applications from simple to complex ones involve human cognizance in the computation loop. Using the wisdom of human workers, researchers have solved a variety of problems, termed as “micro-tasks” such as, captcha recognition, sentiment analysis, image categorization, query processing, as well as “complex tasks” that are often collaborative, such as, classifying craters on planetary surfaces, discovering new galaxies (Galaxyzoo), performing text translation. The current view of “humans-in-the-loop” tends to see humans as machines, robots, or low-level agents used or exploited in the service of broader computation goals. This dissertation is developed to shift the focus back …

Towards Practical Homomorphic Encryption And Efficient Implementation, Gyana R. Sahu
Dissertations
Cloud computing has gained significant traction over the past few years and its application continues to soar as evident from its rapid adoption in various industries. One of the major challenges involved in cloud computing services is the security of sensitive information as cloud servers have been often found to be vulnerable to snooping by malicious adversaries. Such data privacy concerns can be addressed to a greater extent by enforcing cryptographic measures. Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), a special form of public key encryption has emerged as a primary tool in deploying such cryptographic security assurances without sacrificing many of the …
