     643<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>User communities are rapidly transitioning their ” traditional desktops” that have dedicated hardware and software installations into ” virtual desktop clouds” (VDCs) that are accessible via thin-clients. To allocate and manage VDC resources for Internet-scale desktop delivery, existing work focuses mainly on managing server-side resources based on utility functions of CPU and memory loads, and do not consider network health and thin-client user experience. Resource allocations without combined utility-directed information of system loads, network health and thin-client user experience in VDC platforms inevitably results in costly guesswork and overprovisioning of resources. In this thesis, an analytical model i.e., ” Utility-Directed Resource Allocation Model (U-RAM)” is presented to solve the combined utility-directed resource allocation problem within VDCs. The solution uses an iterative algorithm that leverages utility functions of system, network and human components obtained using a novel virtual desktop performance benchmarking toolkit i.e., ” VDBench”. The combined utility functions are used to direct decision schemes based on Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions for creating user desktop pools and determining optimal resource allocation size/location. U-RAM is evaluated in a VDC testbed featuring: (a) popular user applications (Spreadsheet Calculator, Internet Browser, Media Player, Interactive Visualization), and (b) TCP/UDP based thin-client protocols (RDP, RGS, PCoIP) under a variety of user load and network health conditions. Evaluation results demonstrate that U-RAM solution maximizes VDC scalability i.e., 'VDs per core density', and 'user connections quantity', while delivering satisfactory thin-client user experience.

     1360<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) make virtual desktop cloud (VDC) resource provisioning decisions within desktop pools based on user groups and their application pro- files. Such provisioning is aimed to not only satisfy acceptable user quality of experience (QoE) levels and provide high scalability, but also provide ” knobs” to CSPs to operate according their economic policies. The next challenge is to place user VD requests in an optimal and fast manner across distributed data centers. The placement decisions are influenced by session latency, load balancing and operation cost constraints. In this work, we identify the resource fragmentation problem that occurs when placement is done opportunistically to minimize provisioning time and deliver satisfactory user QoE. To solve this problem, which inherently is an NP-Hard problem, we propose a defragmentation scheme that has fast convergence time and has three levels of complexity: (i) ” Economics-directed resource allocation model” (E-RAM) that considers economic policies while optimizing resource provisioning within a data center (ii) ” Cost-aware Utility-maximal Local Placement” to optimize resource provisioning between multiple data centers, and (iii) ” Costaware Utility-maximal Global Placement with Migration” to optimize resource provisioning using cost-aware and utility-maximal VD re-allocations and migrations - to increase scalability and performance. We evaluate our E-RAM, Cost-aware Utility-maximal Local and Global Placement schemes using a novel ” VDC-Sim” simulator that we have developed in this study. Our simulations leverage profiles of user groups and their applications within desktop pools, obtained from a real VDC testbed. We also implemented our schemes in a real cloud infrastructure. Our results demonstrate that defragmentation is an important optimization step and defragmentation together with E-RAM and our Cost-aware Utilitymaximal placement schemes can enable CSPs to achieve optimal user QoE, higher VDC scalability, improved system performance and resilience.

     1648<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>Popular applications such as email, photo/video galleries, and file storage are increasingly being supported by cloud platforms in residential, academia and industry communities. The next frontier for these user communities will be to transition `traditional desktops' that have dedicated hardware and software configurations into `virtual desktop clouds' that are accessible via thin-clients. In this paper, we describe an Intelligent resource placement framework for thin-client based virtual desktops. The framework leverages principles of software defined networking and features a `unified resource broker' that uses special `marker packets' for: (a) ” route setup” when handling non-IP traffic between thin-client sites and data centers, (b) ” path selection” and ” load balancing” of virtual desktop flows to improve performance of interactive applications and video playback, and to cope with faults such as link-failures or Denial of Service cyber-attacks. The Framework has the ability to provisioning OpenFlow paths with less Service Response times for VD Requests. Our Framework In addition, we detail our framework implementation within a virtual desktop cloud (VDC) setup in a multi-domain Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) Future Internet testbed spanning backbone and access networks with a automation and centralized control using a tool called VDC-Sim. We present empirical results from our experimentation that leverages OpenFlow programmable networking, as well as cross-traffic capabilities for validating our framework in GENI under realistic settings. Our results demonstrate the importance of scheduling regulated measurements that can be used for intelligent resource placement decisions. Our results also show the feasibility and benefits of using OpenFlow controller applications for path selection and load balancing between thin-client sites and data centers in VDCs. The thesis also shows how our OpenFlow Framework can used for other cloud applications using GridFTP application over WAN as a Case Study.

     2042<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>One of the significant challenges for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) hosting ” virtual desktop cloud” (VDC) infrastructures is to deliver a satisfactory quality of experience (QoE) to the user. In order to maximize the user QoE without expensive resource overprovisioning, there is a need to design and verify resource allocation schemes for a comprehensive set of VDC configurations. In this paper, we present ” VDC-Analyst”, a novel tool that can capture critical quality metrics such as Net Utility and Service Response Time, which can be used to quantify VDC platform readiness. This tool allows CSPs, researchers and educators to design and verify various resource allocation schemes using both simulation and emulation in two modes: ” Run Simulation” and ” Run Experiment”, respectively. The Run Simulation mode allows users to test and visualize resource provisioning and placement schemes on a simulation framework. Run Experiment mode allows testing on a real software-defined network testbed using emulated virtual desktop application traffic to create a realistic environment. Results from using our tool demonstrate that a significant increase in perceived user QoE can be achieved by using a combination of the following techniques incorporated in the tool: (i) optimizing Net Utility through a ” Cost-Aware Utility-Maximal Resource Allocation Algorithm”, (ii) estimating values for Service Response Time using a ” Multi-stage Queuing Model”, and (iii) appropriate load balancing through software-defined networking adaptations in the VDC testbed.

     2300<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>The IEEE 802.16 standard (WiMAX) is an important next-generation networking technology which promises highspeed network access for both mobile and fixed users. In this paper we present a method to estimate link quality for devices connected to Temple University's WiMAX network as they traverse both the main campus and the city of Philadelphia via foot and motor vehicle. This is accomplished by first measuring receive signal strength indicator (RSSI), carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR), and bandwidth. After capturing these values, we then analyze the data to provide an estimation of the actual system rate. We then present an approach to predict future states of link quality both while stationary at Temple and when traversing Philadelphia via bus.

    23912469<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>Campuses are increasingly adopting hybrid cloud architectures for supporting data-intensive science applications that require ” on-demand” resources, which are not always available locally on-site. Policies at the campus edge for handling multiple such applications competing for remote resources can cause bottlenecks across applications. These bottlenecks can be proactively avoided with pertinent profiling, monitoring and control of application flows using software-defined networking principles. In this paper, we present an ” Application-driven Overlay Network-as-a-Service” (ADON) that can manage the hybrid cloud requirements of multiple applications in a scalable and extensible manner using features such as: programmable ” custom templates” and a ” virtual tenant handler”. Our solution approach involves scheduling transit selection and traffic engi- neering at the campus-edge based on real-time policy control that ensures predictable application performance delivery for multi-tenant traffic profiles. We validate our ADON approach with an implementation on a wide-area overlay network testbed across two campuses, and present a workflow that eases the orchestration of network programmability for campus network providers and data-intensive application users. Lastly, we present an emulation study of the ADON effectiveness in handling temporal behavior of multi-tenant traffic burst arrivals using profiles from a diverse set of actual data-intensive applications.

     2718<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>There are many compelling reasons to use a shared, public testbed such as GENI, Emulab, or PlanetLab to conduct experiments in computer science and networking. These testbeds support creating experiments with a large and diverse set of resources. Moreover these testbeds are constructed to inherently support the repeatability of experiments as required for scientifically sound research. Finally, the artifacts needed for a researcher to repeat their own experiment can be shared so that others can readily repeat the experiment in the same environment. However using a shared, public testbed is different from conducting experiments on resources either owned by the experimenter or someone the experimenter knows. Experiments on shared, public testbeds are more likely to use large topologies, use scarce resources, and need to be tolerant to outages and maintenances in the testbed. In addition, experimenters may not have access to low-level debugging information. This paper describes a methodology for new experimenters to write and deploy repeatable and sharable experiments which deal with these challenges by: having a clear plan; automating the execution and analysis of an experiment by following best practices from software engineering and system administration; and building scalable experiments. In addition, the paper describes a case study run on the GENI testbed which illustrates the methodology described.

    26402731<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>This paper discusses the design challenges associated with supporting advanced mobility services in the future Internet. The recent transition of the Internet from the fixed host-server model to one in which mobile platforms are the norm motivates a next-generation protocol architecture which provides integrated and efficient support for advanced mobility services. Key wireless access and mobility usage scenarios are identified including host mobility, multihoming, vehicular access and context addressability, and key protocol support requirements are identified in each case. The MobilityFirst (MF) architecture being developed under the National Science Foundation's future Internet Architecture (FIA) program is proposed as a possible realization that meets the identified requirements. MF protocol specifics are given for each wireless/mobile use case, along with sample evaluation results demonstrating achievable performance benefits.

     2744<br><br><b>Abstract: </b>Repeating research in computer science requires more than just code and data: it requires an appropriate environment in which to run experiments. In some cases, this environment appears fairly straightforward: it consists of a particular operating system and set of required libraries. In many cases, however, it is considerably more complex: the execution environment may be an entire network, may involve complex and fragile configuration of the dependencies, or may require large amounts of resources in terms of computation cycles, network bandwidth, or storage. Even the &#x73;&#x0308;traightforward&#x20;&#x0308;case turns out to be surprisingly intricate: there may be explicit or hidden dependencies on compilers, kernel quirks, details of the ISA, etc. The result is that when one tries to repeat published results, creating an environment sufficiently similar to one in which the experiment was originally run can be troublesome; this problem only gets worse as time passes. What the computer science community needs, then, are environments that have the explicit goal of enabling repeatable research. This paper outlines the problem of repeatable research environments, presents a set of requirements for such environments, and describes one facility that attempts to address them.
