Predictive Sectorization and Bayesian Optimized Consensus for Admission Control in Autonomous Airspace Operations
Aditya Dhodapkar, Avery Smidt, Aaron Verkleeren +2
Conventional air traffic control divides airspace into specific regions, creating a scaling bottleneck as traffic grows. Choosing how to partition airspace is not straightforward b…
A Continuum Approach for Collaborative Task Processing in UAV MEC Networks
Lorson Blair, Carlos A. Varela, Stacy Patterson
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming a viable platform for sensing and estimation in a wide variety of applications including disaster response, search and rescue, and secu…
Verification of Eventual Consensus in Synod Using a Failure-Aware Actor Model
Saswata Paul, Gul A. Agha, Stacy Patterson +1
Successfully attaining consensus in the absence of a centralized coordinator is a fundamental problem in distributed multi-agent systems. We analyze progress in the Synod consensus…
An Algorithm for Reconstructing the Orphan Stream Progenitor with MilkyWay@home Volunteer Computing
Siddhartha Shelton, Heidi Jo Newberg, Jake Weiss +16
We have developed a method for estimating the properties of the progenitor dwarf galaxy from the tidal stream of stars that were ripped from it as it fell into the Milky Way. In pa…
ACCORDANT: A Domain Specific Model and DevOpsApproach for Big Data Analytics Architectures
Camilo Castellanos, Carlos A. Varela, Dario Correal
Big data analytics (BDA) applications use machine learning algorithms to extract valuable insights from large, fast, and heterogeneous data sources. New software engineering challe…
Skedulix: Hybrid Cloud Scheduling for Cost-Efficient Execution of Serverless Applications
Anirban Das, Andrew Leaf, Carlos A. Varela +1
We present a framework for scheduling multifunction serverless applications over a hybrid public-private cloud. A set of serverless jobs is input as a batch, and the objective is t…
A Manifesto for Future Generation Cloud Computing: Research Directions for the Next Decade
Rajkumar Buyya, Satish Narayana Srirama, Giuliano Casale +22
The Cloud computing paradigm has revolutionised the computer science horizon during the past decade and has enabled the emergence of computing as the fifth utility. It has captured…
Flight Trajectory Planning for Fixed-Wing Aircraft in Loss of Thrust Emergencies
Saswata Paul, Frederick Hole, Alexandra Zytek +1
Loss of thrust emergencies-e.g., induced by bird/drone strikes or fuel exhaustion-create the need for dynamic data-driven flight trajectory planning to advise pilots or control UAV…
A Robust Asynchronous Newton Method for Massive Scale Computing Systems
Travis Desell, Malik Magdon-Ismail, Heidi Newberg +3
Volunteer computing grids offer super-computing levels of computing power at the relatively low cost of operating a server. In previous work, the authors have shown that it is poss…
MilkyWay@home: Harnessing volunteer computers to constrain dark matter in the Milky Way
Heidi Jo Newberg, Matthew Newby, Travis Desell +3
MilkyWay@home is a volunteer computing project that allows people from every country in the world to volunteer their otherwise idle processors to Milky Way research. Currently, mor…
Maximum Likelihood Fitting of Tidal Streams With Application to the Sagittarius Dwarf Tidal Tails
Nathan Cole, Heidi Jo Newberg, Malik Magdon-Ismail +10
We present a maximum likelihood method for determining the spatial properties of tidal debris and of the Galactic spheroid. With this method we characterize Sagittarius debris usin…
