Stokkink, Q.A. (author), Ileri, Can Umut (author), Epema, D.H.J. (author), Pouwelse, J.A. (author)Web3 is emerging as the new Internet-interaction model that facilitates direct collaboration between strangers without a need for prior trust between network participants and without central authorities. However, one of its shortcomings is the lack of a defense mechanism against the ability of a single user to generate a surplus of identities,...journal article 2023

Cheng, Long (author), Wang, Ying (author), Liu, Qingzhi (author), Epema, D.H.J. (author), Liu, Cheng (author), Mao, Ying (author), Murphy, John (author)Large data centers are currently the mainstream infrastructures for big data processing. As one of the most fundamental tasks in these environments, the efficient execution of distributed data operators (e.g., join and aggregation) are still challenging current data systems, and one of the key performance issues is network communication time....journal article 2021

Prabhu Kumble, S. (author), Epema, D.H.J. (author), Roos, S. (author)Lightning, the prevailing solution to Bitcoin's scalability issue, uses onion routing to hide senders and recipients of payments. Yet, the path between the sender and the recipient along which payments are routed is selected such that it is short, cost efficient, and fast. The low degree of randomness in the path selection entails that...conference paper 2021

Omranian Khorasani, S. (author), Rellermeyer, Jan S. (author), Epema, D.H.J. (author)The demand for additional performance due to the rapid increase in the size and importance of data-intensive applications has considerably elevated the complexity of computer architecture. In response, systems offer pre-determined behaviors based on heuristics and then expose a large number of configuration parameters for operators to adjust...conference paper 2019

Rezaeian, Amin (author), Naghibzadeh, Mahmoud (author), Epema, D.H.J. (author)Cloud schedulers that allocate resources exclusively to single workflows are not work-conserving as they may be forced to leave gaps in their schedules because of the precedence constraints in the workflows. Thus, they may lead to a waste of financial resources. This problem can be mitigated by multiple-workflow schedulers that share the...journal article 2019

(author)Elasticity is one of the main features of cloud computing allowing customers to scale their resources based on the workload. Many autoscalers have been proposed in the past decade to decide on behalf of cloud customers when and how to provision resources to a cloud application based on the workload utilizing cloud elasticity features. However,...journal article 2018

Ilyushkin, A.S. (author), Epema, D.H.J. (author)Workflow schedulers often rely on task runtime estimates when making scheduling decisions, and they usually target the scheduling of a single workflow or batches of workflows. In contrast, in this paper, we evaluate the impact of the absence or limited accuracy of task runtime estimates on slowdown when scheduling complete workloads of workflows...conference paper 2018

Epema, Kitso (author)Even though propellers are the oldest form of propulsion, they are still a popular choice for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and passenger aircraft in certain market segments. If the propellers are mounted on the wing, strong propeller-wing interactions alter the aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. Using low-order numerical models, it is...master thesis 2017
