    WattsApp: Power-aware container scheduling
    Mehta, HK ; Harvey, P ; Rana, O ; Buyya, R ; Varghese, B (IEEE, 2020-12-01)
    Containers are popular for deploying workloads. However, there are limited software-based methods (hardware- based methods are expensive) for obtaining the power consumed by containers to facilitate power-aware container scheduling. This paper presents WattsApp, a tool underpinned by a six step software-based method for power-aware container scheduling to minimize power cap violations on a server. The proposed method relies on a neural network-based power estimation model and a power capped container scheduling technique. Experimental studies are pursued in a lab-based environment on 10 benchmarks on Intel and ARM processors. The results highlight that power estimation has negligible overheads - nearly 90% of all data samples can be estimated with less than a 10% error, and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is less than 6%. The power-aware scheduling of WattsApp is more effective than Intel's Running Power Average Limit (RAPL) based power capping as it does not degrade the performance of all running containers.

    Dynamic Management of Traffic Signals through Social IoT
    Roopa, MS ; Ayesha Siddiq, S ; Buyya, R ; Venugopal, KR ; Iyengar, SS ; Patnaik, LM (Elsevier, 2020-06-04)
    Traffic congestion is a major threat to transportation sector in every urban city around the world. This causes many adverse effects like, heavy fuel consumption, increased waiting time, pollution, etc. and pose an eminent challenge to the movement of emergency vehicles. To achieve better driving we proceed towards a trending research field called Social Internet of Vehicles (SIoV). A social network paradigm that permits the establishment of social relationships among every vehicle in the network or with any road infrastructure can be radically helpful. This holds as the aim of SIoV, to be beneficial for the drivers, in improving the road safety, avoiding mishaps, and have a friendly-driving environment. In this paper, we propose a Dynamic congestion control with Throughput Maximization scheme based on Social Aspect (D-TMSA) utilizing the social, behavioral and preference-based relationships. Our proposed scheme along with the various social relationship types allocates green signal to maximize the traffic flow passing through an intersection. Simulation results show that the D-TMSA outperforms the existing work by achieving high throughput, lowering the total traveling time and reducing the average waiting time to better the flow of traffic based on their social attributes with each other.

    SDVADC: Secure Deduplication and Virtual Auditing of Data in Cloud
    Geeta, CM ; Shreyas Raju, RG ; Raghavendra, S ; Buyya, R ; Venugopal, KR ; Iyengar, SS ; Patnaik, LM (Elsevier, 2020)
    Over the last few years, deploying data to cloud service for repository is an appealing passion that avoids efforts on significant information sustenance and administration. In distributed repository utilities, deduplication technique is often exploited to minimize the capacity and bandwidth necesseties of amenities by erasing repetitive data and caching only a solitary duplicate of them. Proof-of-Ownership mechanisms authorize any possessor of the identical information to approve to the distributed repository server that he possess the information in a dynamic way. In repository utilities with enormous information, the repository servers may intend to minimize the capacity of cached information, and the customers may want to examine the integrity of their information with a reasonable cost. We propose Secure Deduplication and Virtual Auditing of Data in Cloud (SDVADC) mechanism that realizes integrity auditing and deduplication of information in cloud. The mechanism supports secure deduplication of information and effective virtual auditing of the documents during the download process. In addition, the proposed mechanism lowers the burden of dataowner to audit documents by himself and there is no need to delegate auditing to the Third Party Auditor (TPA). Experimental results demonstrate that the virtual auditing has low auditing time cost relative to the existing public auditing schemes.
