Speech Title: Automatic and Semi-Automatic Translation for Cloud Programming Models
Abstract: Cloud computing has gradually evolved into an infrastructural tool for many scientific and business applications with intensive data or computing requirements. One of the challenges in cloud computing now is how to run software efficiently on cloud platforms since lots of classic sequential codes are not ready to be executed in parallel in cloud environments, resulting in long execution time and low efficiency. It is also costly and labor intensive to redesign and convert current sequential codes into cloud codes running on cloud programming models such as MapReduce or Spark. Thus, automatic translation from sequential codes to cloud codes is one of the directions that could resolve the problem of slow code migration from traditional computing platforms to cloud infrastructures. In this talk, I will present several automatic translators (M2M, J2M and J2S) for cloud programming models MapReduce and Spark. I will provide details of the design of our translators and their performance results based on many experiments. Performance comparisons between hand-coded cloud programs and automatically translated codes will also be carried out. Semi-automatic translation with human tuning will also be introduced. Our experimental results indicate that the translators we have designed not only can precisely translate the sequential codes such as MATLAB codes or Java codes into cloud codes, but also can achieve almost a linear speedup in performance if the data sizes in the applications are huge enough. Since cloud computing is used for big data anyway, this demonstrates that automatic translation to reduce labor costs is a possible effective way to go for cloud programming. In addition, the limitations and shortcomings of our automatic translation and semi-automatic translation will be identified and future directions in this area will be provided.

Speech Title: Neoteric Frontiers in Cloud, Edge, and Quantum Computing
Abstract: Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services that are delivered in a manner similar to utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services based on their requirements without regard to where the services are hosted or how they are delivered. Cloud computing paradigm has turned this vision of "computing utilities" into a reality. It offers infrastructure, platform, and software as services, which are made available to consumers as subscription-oriented services. Cloud application platforms need to offer (1) APIs and tools for rapid creation of elastic applications and (2) a runtime system for deployment of applications on geographically distributed Data Centre infrastructures (with Quantum computing nodes) in a seamless manner.
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm enables seamless integration of cyber-and-physical worlds and opening opportunities for creating new class of applications for domains such as smart cities, smart robotics, and smart healthcare. The emerging Fog/Edge computing paradigms support latency sensitive/real-time IoT applications with a seamless integration of network-wide resources all the way from edge to the Cloud.
This keynote presentation will cover (a) 21st century vision of computing and identifies various IT paradigms promising to deliver the vision of computing utilities; (b) innovative architecture for creating elastic Clouds integrating edge resources and managed Clouds, (c) Aneka 5G, a Cloud Application Platform, for rapid development of Cloud/Big Data applications and their deployment on private/public Clouds with resource provisioning driven by SLAs, (d) a novel FogBus software framework with Blockchain-based data-integrity management for facilitating end-to-end IoT-Fog/Edge-Cloud integration for execution of sensitive IoT applications, (e) experimental results on deploying Cloud and Big Data/ IoT applications in engineering, and health care (e.g., COVID-19), deep learning/Artificial intelligence (AI), satellite image processing, and natural language processing (mining COVID-19 research literature for new insights) on elastic Clouds, (f) QFaaS: A Serverless Function-as-a-Service Framework for Quantum Computing, and (g) directions for delivering our 21st century vision along with pathways for future research in Cloud and Edge/Fog computing.
