Most of the Internet traffic is content, and most of the Internet connected hosts are mobile. Our work focuses on the design of infrastructure services needed to support such a content-dominated, highly mobile Internet. In the design of these services, three sets of decisions arise frequently: (1) Content placment for selecting the locations where a content is placed, (2) request redirection for selecting the location where a particular request is served from and (3) network routing for selecting the physical path between clients and the services they are accessing. Our central thesis is that content placement is a powerful factor, …

Today, the ability to process "big data" has become crucial to the information needs of many enterprise businesses, scientific applications, and governments. Recently, there have been increasing needs of processing data that is not only "big" but also "fast". Here "fast data" refers to high-speed real-time and near real-time data streams, such as Twitter feeds, search query streams, click streams, impressions, and system logs. To handle both historical data and real-time data, many companies have to maintain multiple systems. However, recent real-world case studies show that maintaining multiple systems cause not only code duplication, but also intensive manual work to …

Advances in wireless technologies and the pervasive influence of multi-homed devices have significantly changed the way people use the Internet. These changes of user behavior and the evolution of multi-homing technologies have brought a huge impact to today's network study and provided new opportunities to improve mobile data transport. In this thesis, we investigate challenges related to human mobility, with emphases on network performance at both system level and user level. More specifically, we seek to answer the following two questions: 1) How to model user mobility in the networks and use the model for network provisioning? 2) Is it …
