This study considers a multi-tier heterogeneous DRAM/NVM memory system with contrasting access latency, bandwidth and energy consumption capabilities. The paper examines the implications of heterogeneous memory tiering on Spark in-memory analytics and addresses the challenge of the growing demand…
The Cloud-to-Edge-to-IoT Continuum as an Enabler for Search and Rescue Operations
2023 Future Internet, 15(2), 55 (Special Issue “Moving towards 6G Wireless Technologies”)
When a natural or human disaster occurs, time is critical and often of vital importance. Data from the incident area containing the information to guide search and rescue (SAR) operations and improve intervention effectiveness should be collected as quickly as possible and with the highest accuracy…
Efficient delivery of robotics programming educational content using cloud robotics
2022 - 7th International Conference on Robotics and Automation Engineering (ICRAE), Singapore, 18-20 November 2022
In this paper, we report on our use of cloud-robotics solutions to teach a Robotics Applications Programming course at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). The usage of Kubernetes based cloud computing environment combined with real robots – turtlebots and Niryo arms – allowed us to: 1)…
