Battery degradation is a main hinder to extend the persistent lifespan of the portable heterogeneous computing device. Excessive energy consumption and prominent current fluctuations can lead to a sharp decline of battery endurance. To address this issue, a battery-aware workflow scheduling algorithm is proposed to maximize the battery lifetime and release the computing potential of the device fully. First, a dynamic optimal budget strategy is developed to select the highest cost-effectiveness processors to meet the deadline of each task, accelerating the budget optimization by incorporating deep neural network. Second, an integer-programming greedy strategy is utilized to determine the start time of each task, minimizing the fluctuation of the battery supply current to mitigate the battery degradation. Finally, a long-term operation experiment and Monte Carlo experiments are performed on the battery simulator, SLIDE. The experimental results under real operating conditions for more than 1800 hours validate that the proposed scheduling algorithm can effectively extend the battery life by 7.31%-8.23%. The results on various parallel workflows illustrate that the proposed algorithm has comparable performance with speed improvement over the integer programming method.

Computing servers have played a key role in developing and processing emerging compute-intensive applications in recent years. Consolidating multiple virtual machines (VMs) inside one server to run various applications introduces severe competence for limited resources among VMs. Many techniques such as VM scheduling and resource provisioning are proposed to maximize the cost-efficiency of the computing servers while alleviating the performance inference between VMs. However, these management techniques require accurate performance prediction of the application running inside the VM, which is challenging to get in the public cloud due to the black-box nature of the VMs. From this perspective, this paper proposes a novel machine learning-based performance prediction approach for applications running in the cloud. To achieve high-accuracy predictions for black-box VMs, the proposed method first identifies the running application inside the virtual machine. It then selects highly correlated runtime metrics as the input of the machine learning approach to accurately predict the performance level of the cloud application. Experimental results with state-of-the-art cloud benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms existing prediction methods by more than 2× in terms of the worst prediction error. In addition, we successfully tackle the challenge of performance prediction for applications with variable workloads by introducing the performance degradation index, which other comparison methods fail to consider. The workflow versatility of the proposed approach has been verified with different modern servers and VM configurations.

At present, the centralized learning models, used for IoT applications generating large amount of data, face several challenges such as bandwidth scarcity, more energy consumption, increased uses of computing resources, poor connectivity, high computational complexity, reduced privacy, and large latency towards data transfer. In order to address the aforementioned challenges, Blockchain-Enabled Federated Learning Networks (BFLNs) emerged recently, which deal with trained model parameters only, rather than raw data. BFLNs provide enhanced security along with improved energy-efficiency and Quality-of-Service (QoS). However, BFLNs suffer with the challenges of exponential increased action space in deciding various parameter levels towards training and block generation. Motivated by aforementioned challenges of BFLNs, in this work, we are proposing an actor-critic Reinforcement Learning (RL) method to model the Machine Learning Model Owner (MLMO) in selecting the optimal set of parameter levels, addressing the challenges of exponential grow of action space in BFLNs. Further, due to the implicit entropy exploration, actor-critic RL method balances the exploration-exploitation trade-off and shows better performance than most off-policy methods, on large discrete action spaces. Therefore, in this work, considering the mobile scenario of the devices, MLMO decides the data and energy levels that the mobile devices use for the training and determine the block generation rate. This leads to minimized system latency and reduced overall cost, while achieving the target accuracy. Specifically, we have used Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) as an on-policy actor-critic method with it's two variants, one based on Monte Carlo (MC) returns and another based on Generalized Advantage Estimate (GAE). We analyzed that PPO has better exploration and sample efficiency, lesser training time, and consistently higher cumulative rewards, when compared to off-policy Deep Q-Network (DQN).

The explosion of large-scale data has increased the scale and capacity of storage clusters in data centers, leading to huge power consumption issues. Cloud providers can effectively promote the energy efficiency of data centers by employing energy-aware data placement techniques, which primarily encompass storage cluster's power and cooling power. Traditional data placement approaches do not diminish the overall power consumption of the data center due to the heat recirculation effect between storage nodes. To fill this gap, we build an elaborate thermal-aware data center model. Then we propose two energy-efficient thermal-aware data placement strategies, ETDP-I and ETDP-II, to reduce the overall power consumption of the data center. The principle of our proposed algorithm is to utilize a greedy algorithm to calculate the optimal disk sequence at the minimum total power of the data center and then place the data into the optimal disk sequence. We implement these two strategies in a cloud computing simulation platform based on CloudSim. Experimental results unveil that ETDA-I and ETDP-II outperform MinTin-G and MinTout-G in terms of the supplied temperature of CRAC, storage nodes power, cooling cost, and total power consumption of the data center. In particular, ETDP-I and ETDP-II algorithms can save about 9.46 $%$ -38.93 $%$ of the overall power consumption compared to MinTout-G and MinTin-G algorithms.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have attracted significant research attention because of their impressive capability in dealing with graph-structure data, such as energy networks, that are crucial for sustainable computing. We find that the communication of data loading from main memory to GPUs is the main bottleneck of GNN inference because of redundant data loading. In this paper, we propose RAIN, an efficient GNN inference system for graph learning. There are two key designs. First, we explore the opportunity of conducting similar inference batches sequentially and reusing repeated nodes among adjacent batches to reduce redundant data loading. This method requires reordering the batches based on their similarity. However, comparing the similarity across a large number of inference batches is a difficult task with a high computational cost. Thus, we propose a local sensitive hash (LSH)-based clustering scheme to group similar batches together quickly without pair-wise comparison. Second, RAIN contains an efficient adaptive sampling strategy, allowing users to sample target nodes’ neighbors according to their degree. The number of sampled neighbors is proportional to the size of the node's degree. We conduct extensive experiments with various baselines. RAIN can achieve up to 6.8X acceleration, and the accuracy decrease is smaller than 0.1%.

The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) system is the cornerstone of today’s security communications. All users in the service domain covered by the same PKI system are able to authenticate each other before exchanging messages. However, there is identity isolation in different domains, making the identity of users in different domains cannot be recognized by PKI systems in other domains. To achieve cross-domain authentication, the consortium blockchain system is leveraged in the existing schemes. Unfortunately, the consortium blockchain-based authentication schemes have the following challenges: high cost, privacy concerns, scalability and economic unsustainability. To solve these challenges, we propose a scalable and privacy-preserving cross-domain authentication scheme called Bifrost-Auth. Firstly, Bifrost-Auth is designed to use a decentralized oracle to directly interact with blockchains in different domains instead of maintaining a consortium blockchain and enables mutual authentication for users lying in different domains. Secondly, users can succinctly authenticate their membership of the domain by the accumulator technique, where the membership proof is turned into zero knowledge to protect users’ privacy. Finally, Bifrost-Auth is proven to be secure against various attacks, and thorough experiments are carried out and demonstrate the security and efficiency of Bifrost-Auth.

5G vehicular networks provide abundant multimedia services among mobile vehicles. However, due to the mobility of vehicles, large-scale mobile traffic poses a challenge to the core network load and transmission latency. It is difficult for existing solutions to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of vehicular networks. Besides, the sensitivity of vehicle trajectories also brings privacy concerns in vehicular networks. To address these problems, we propose a privacy-preserving and trajectory clustering-based framework for cooperative caching optimization (PTCC) in vehicular networks, which includes two tasks. Specifically, in the first task, we first apply differential privacy technologies to add noise to vehicle trajectories. In addition, a data aggregation model is provided to make the trade-off between aggregation accuracy and privacy protection. In order to analyze similar behavioral vehicles, trajectory clustering is then achieved by utilizing machine learning algorithms. In the second task, we construct a cooperative caching objective function with the transmission latency. Afterwards, the multi-agent deep Q network (MADQN) is leveraged to obtain the goal of caching optimization, which can achieve low delay. Finally, extensive simulation results verify that our framework respectively improves the QoS up to 9.8% and 12.8% with different file numbers and caching capacities, compared with other state-of-the-art solutions.

Multi-party collaborative learning has become a paradigm for large-scale knowledge discovery in the era of Big Data. As a typical form of collaborative learning, federated learning (FL) has received widespread research attention in recent years. In practice, however, FL faces a range of challenges such as objective inconsistency, communication and synchronization issues, due to the heterogeneity in the clients’ local datasets and devices. In this paper, we propose EnsembleFed, a novel ensemble framework for heterogeneous FL. The proposed framework first allows each client to train a local model with full autonomy and without having to consider the heterogeneity of local datasets. The confidence scores of training samples output by each local model are then perturbed to defend against membership inference attacks, after which they are submitted to the server for use in constructing the global model. We apply a GAN-based method to generate calibrated noise for confidence perturbation. Benefiting from the ensemble framework, EnsembleFed disengages from the restriction of real-time synchronization and achieves collaborative learning with lower communication costs than traditional FL. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed EnsembleFed can significantly improve the performance of the global model while also effectively defending against membership inference attacks.

During the winter season in India, the AQI experiences a decrease due to the limited dispersion of APs caused by MFs. Therefore, we developed a sophisticated green predictive model GAP, which utilizes our designed green technique and a customized big dataset. This dataset is derived from weather research and tailored to forecast future AQI levels in the Indian subcontinent during winter. This dataset has been meticulously curated by amalgamating samples of APs and MFs concentrations, further adjusted to reflect the yearly activity data across various Indian states. The dataset reveals an amplified national emissions rate for $boldsymbol {PM_{2.5}}$ , $boldsymbol {NO_{2}}$ , and $boldsymbol {CO}$ pollutants, exhibiting an increase of 3.6%, 1.3%, and 2.5% in gigagrams per day. ML/DL regressors are then applied to this dataset, with the most effective ML/DL regressors being selected based on their performance. Our paper encompasses an exhaustive examination of existing literature within the realm of air pollution epidemiology. The evaluation results demonstrate that the prediction accuracy of GAP when utilizing LSTM, CNN, MLP, and RNN achieve accuracies of 98.53%, 95.9222%, 96.1555%, and 97.344% in predicting the $boldsymbol {PM_{2.5}}$ , $boldsymbol {NO_{2}}$ , and $boldsymbol {CO}$ concentrations. In contrast, RF, KNN, and SVR yield lower accuracies of 92.511%, 90.333%, and 93.566% for the same AQIs.

Constructing energy-efficient cloud data centers (CDCs) is an essential path for the further expansion of cloud computing. As one of the core subsystems of a data center, the cooling system provides a reliable thermal environment for the safe operation of IT equipment while posing a huge energy consumption and carbon emission problem. Thus, it is evident that optimizing energy management of cooling systems with considerable energy-saving potential will be essential to realize the green and low-carbon development of CDCs. Therefore, to track the research progress of data center thermal management technologies, this review focuses on two research efforts: thermal modeling and thermal-aware energy saving methods. First, various thermal modeling approaches are reviewed for air-cooled and liquid-cooled data centers. Secondly, a comprehensive review of existing advanced thermal management approaches is conducted from three perspectives: thermal-aware IT load scheduling, cooling system control optimization, and joint optimization of the IT and cooling systems. Finally, we put forward some open issues and future research directions for thermal management that have not been completely solved. This review aims to provide reasonable suggestions to enhance cooling energy efficiency and further promote the transformation of CDCs to lower energy consumption and sustainable direction.
建设高能效的云数据中心（CDC）是云计算进一步发展的必由之路。作为数据中心的核心子系统之一，冷却系统在为 IT 设备的安全运行提供可靠热环境的同时，也带来了巨大的能耗和碳排放问题。由此可见，要实现数据中心的绿色低碳发展，优化具有巨大节能潜力的冷却系统的能源管理至关重要。因此，为跟踪数据中心热管理技术的研究进展，本综述将重点关注热建模和热感知节能方法这两项研究工作。首先，综述了风冷和液冷数据中心的各种热建模方法。其次，从热感知 IT 负载调度、冷却系统控制优化以及 IT 和冷却系统联合优化这三个角度，对现有的先进热管理方法进行了全面回顾。最后，我们提出了一些尚未完全解决的热管理开放问题和未来研究方向。本综述旨在为提高冷却能效提供合理建议，进一步推动 CDC 向低能耗和可持续方向转型。
