Kubernetes and the path to cloud native
August 2015
SoCC '15: Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing
Publisher: ACM
We are in the midst of an important shift to higher levels of abstraction than virtual machines. Kubernetes aims to simplify the deployment and management of services, including the construction of applications as sets of interacting but independent services. We explain some of the key concepts in Kubernetes and show ...

The smartphone has been touted as the technology of the 21st century. Global smartphone adoption rates are growing rapidly, up to over 24% in 2014, with usage increasing 25% in the last year. However, rural areas are often the last places to benefit from these technological trends. Utilizing cellular network ...

We present nesC, a programming language for networked embedded systems that represent a new design space for application developers. An example of a networked embedded system is a sensor network, which consists of (potentially) thousands of tiny, lowpower "motes," each of which execute concurrent, reactive programs that must operate with ...

Over five billion people are active cellular subscribers, spending over a trillion dollars a year on communications. Despite this, hundreds of millions of people are still not connected. Implicit in these networks is a top-down design, with large nation-scale telecommunication firms deciding when and where coverage will be available. This ...

When engaged in ICTD research, it is often simpler to focus efforts on a single specific technology, whether that entails computers for telecenters, mobile phones for data collection, or text messages for public health education. In practice, however, people and organizations use a variety of technologies together, smoothly interweaving them ...

Lack of access to cellular service often goes hand-in-hand with lack of access to power. For example, the GSM Association estimates that 95% of people living without cellular access in East Africa also lack access to grid power. This situation forces cellular network operators to build out power infrastructure along ...

Expanding rural cellular networks with virtual coverage
April 2013
nsdi'13: Proceedings of the 10th USENIX conference on Networked Systems Design and Implementation
Publisher: USENIX Association
The cellular system is the world's largest network, providing service to over five billion people. Operators of these networks face fundamental trade-offs in coverage, capacity and operating power. These trade-offs, when coupled with the reality of infrastructure in poorer areas, mean that upwards of a billion people lack access to ...

Pushing the CAP: Strategies for Consistency and Availability
February 2012
Computer: Volume 45 Issue 2, February 2012
Publisher: IEEE Computer Society Press
The CAP theorem asserts that any networked shared-data system can have only two of three desirable properties. However, by explicitly handling partitions, designers can optimize consistency and availability, thereby achieving some trade-off of all three. The featured Web extra is a podcast from Software Engineering Radio, in which the host ...

Improving per-node efficiency in the datacenter with new OS abstractions

We believe datacenters can benefit from more focus on per-node efficiency, performance, and predictability, versus the more common focus so far on scalability to a large number of nodes. Improving per-node efficiency decreases costs and fault recovery because fewer nodes are required for the same amount of work. We believe ...

Technology users in the developing world face a varied and complex set of computer security concerns. These challenges are deeply tied to a range of contextual factors including poor infrastructure, non-traditional usage patterns, and different attitudes towards security, which make simply importing security solutions from industrialized nations inadequate. Recognizing this, ...

At PODC 2000, the CAP theorem received its first broad audience. Surprisingly for an impossibility result, one important effect has been to free designers to explore a wider range of distributed systems. Designers of wide-area systems, in which network partitions are considered inevitable, know they cannot have both availability and ...

Cellular communications, including handsets and base stations, have become ubiquitous technologies throughout the developing and developed world. Roughly three billion users spend large portions of their income on these basic communications [1]. However, the remaining half of the world currently has limited access, in large part due to lack of ...

After an inauspicious debut, communication-enabled personal digital assistants (or PDA's) and handheld PC's are being "rediscovered" as mobile information access terminals. In response, developers have attempted to bring complex applications such as Web browsers to such devices. However, the limited resources available on thin client platforms make them unsuitable for ...
