Aslan, F.A. (author), Iosifidis, G. (author), Ayala-Romero, Jose A. (author), Garcia-Saavedra, Andres (author), Costa-Perez, Xavier (author)O-RAN systems and their deployment in virtualized general-purpose computing platforms (O-Cloud) constitute a paradigm shift expected to bring unprecedented performance gains. However, these architectures raise new implementation challenges and threaten to worsen the already-high energy consumption of mobile networks. This paper presents first...journal article 2024

Cheng, Ji (author), Xue, Bo (author), Jiaxiang, Y. (author), Zhang, Qingfu (author)Multi-objective Stochastic Linear bandit (MOSLB) plays a critical role in the sequential decision-making paradigm, however, most existing methods focus on the Pareto dominance among different objectives without considering any priority. In this paper, we study bandit algorithms under mixed Pareto-lexicographic orders, which can reflect...journal article 2024

Džiugaitė, Neda (author)Software testing is a necessary aspect of software development. With high expectations placed on software testers and a shortage of qualified professionals, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have emerged as a potential solution to improve software testing education. MOOCs provide accessible education and can offer a comprehensive review of...bachelor thesis 2023

Ayala-Romero, Jose A. (author), Garcia-Saavedra, Andres (author), Costa-Perez, Xavier (author), Iosifidis, G. (author)Future mobile networks need to support intelligent services which collect and process data streams at the network edge, so as to offer real-time and accurate inferences to users. However, the widespread deployment of these services is hindered by the unprecedented energy cost they induce to the network, and by the difficulties in optimizing...journal article 2023

Ortner, Thomas (author), Pes, Lorenzo (author), Gentinetta, Joris (author), Frenkel, C. (author), Pantazi, Angeliki (author)Recurrent neural networks trained with the backpropagation through time (BPTT) algorithm have led to astounding successes in various temporal tasks. However, BPTT introduces severe limitations, such as the requirement to propagate information backwards through time, the weight symmetry requirement, as well as update-locking in space and time....conference paper 2023

Si Salem, Tareq (author), Iosifidis, G. (author), Neglia, Giovanni (author)We study the fairness of dynamic resource allocation problem under the α-fairness criterion. We recognize two different fairness objectives that naturally arise in this problem: the well-understood slot-fairness objective that aims to ensure fairness at every timeslot, and the less explored horizon-fairness objective that aims to ensure...journal article 2023

Mhaisen, N. (author), Iosifidis, George (author), Leith, Douglas (author)The design of effective online caching policies is an increasingly important problem for content distribution networks, online social networks and edge computing services, among other areas. This paper proposes a new algorithmic toolbox for tackling this problem through the lens of optimistic online learning. We build upon the Follow-the...journal article 2023

Anderson, Daron (author), Iosifidis, G. (author), Leith, Douglas J. (author)We consider the general problem of online convex optimization with time-varying budget constraints in the presence of predictions for the next cost and constraint functions, that arises in a plethora of network resource management problems. A novel saddle-point algorithm is designed by combining a Follow-The-Regularized-Leader iteration with...journal article 2023

Fu, Bin (author), Sun, B. (author), Guo, Hang (author), Yang, Tao (author), Fu, Wenxing (author)The current study presents an online iterative adaptive dynamic programming approach to resolve the zero-sum game (ZSG) for nonlinear continuous-time (CT) systems containing a partially unknown dynamic. The Hamilton-Jacobian-Issacs (HJI) equation is solved along the state trajectory according to the value function approximation and the policy...conference paper 2023

Meccanici, Floris (author), Karageorgos, Dimitrios (author), Heemskerk, Cock J.M. (author), Abbink, David (author), Peternel, L. (author)Daily household tasks involve manipulation in cluttered and unpredictable environments and service robots require complex skills and adaptability to perform such tasks. To this end, we developed a teleoperated online learning approach with a novel skill refinement method, where the operator can make refinements to the initially trained skill...conference paper 2023

Larsen, R.B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Atasoy, B. (author)Cooperation between container transport service providers can increase efficiency in the logistics sector significantly. However, cooperation between competitors requires co-planning methods that not only give the cooperating partners an advantage towards external competition but also protect the partners from losing information, clients and...journal article 2023

Oschatz, Quentin (author)This paper explores algorithms to optimize networked caching, where requests for files can be handled by a local cache instead of a remote server. Caches work collaboratively to prevent redundant caching, and each new batch of file requests is used to update the entire network. Data is cached in an integral manner, meaning that only discrete...bachelor thesis 2022

Knuyt, Jerry (author)The loss of wildlife due to illegal poaching activity poses threats on both the survival of iconic animal species and the livelihood of local communities. This research proposes a distributed surveillance model in which a UAV swarm autonomously coordinates continuous surveillance in a dynamic environment. The adaptive behaviour of poachers has...master thesis 2022

Lam, Koen (author)In recent years, researchers proposed several universal caching policies. These universal caching policies aim to work well with any request sequence. However, with this universal well-working property, these caching policies sometimes do not work as well as conventional caching policies such as Least-Recently-Used and Least-Frequently-Used....master thesis 2022

van Zijl, Job (author)Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) shows great potential for flight control, due to its adaptability, fault-tolerance, and as it does not require an accurate system model. However, these techniques, like many machine learning applications, are considered black-box as their inner workings are hidden. This paper aims to break open the black box of...master thesis 2022
