Container Networking Performance Analysis for Large-Scale User Behavior Simulation

User Behavior Modeling with Large-Scale Graph Analysis

Can we model how fraudsters work to distinguish them from normal users? Can we predict not just which movie a person will like, but also why? How can we find when a student will become confused or where patients in a hospital system are getting infected? How can we effectively model large attributed graphs of complex interactions? In this dissertation we understand user behavior through modelin...

Fast and Compatible User-Space Container Networking with Programmable NIC

Containers are an emerging cloud service for developers to wrap up applications into isolated boxes. To simplify deployment, developers break large monolithic services into small self-contained microservice containers, interconnected via container network. For example, a Web application is typically built with a load balancer, Web application containers, cache, search index, database and backgr...

Networking Large-Scale Virtual Environments

The virtual environment research community is focusing on the human-computer interaction model for fully-articulated 3D humans in the networked virtual environment. As that works moves forward, there is the desire to internetwork large numbers of players. The NPSNET Research Group is in the forefront of that work and is focusing on the network and software architecture necessary to support larg...

Large-Scale Battery System Development and User-Specific Driving Behavior Analysis for Emerging Electric-Drive Vehicles

Emerging green-energy transportation, such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in HEVs (PHEVs), has a great potential for reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse emissions. The lithium-ion battery system used in these vehicles, however, is bulky, expensive and unreliable, and has been the primary roadblock for transportation electrification. Meanwhile, few studies have considered u...
