Function-as-a-Service Application Service Composition
Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Serverless Computing, 2019Serverless computing platforms provide Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) to end users for hosting individual functions known as microservices. In this paper, we describe the deployment of a Natural Language Processing (NLP) application using AWS Lambda. We investigate and study the performance and memory implications of two alternate service compositions ...

Serverless Programming (Function as a Service)
2017 IEEE 37th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS), 2017In this tutorial, we will present serverless computing, survey existing serverless platforms from industry, academia, and open source projects, identify key characteristics and use cases, and describe technical challenges and open problems. Our tutorial will involve a hands-on experience of using the serverless technologies available from different ...

Customer Service as a Function of Shopper's Attire
Psychological Reports, 2002A field experiment explored whether a female shopper's appearance would influence the customer service she received. Specifically, a female confederate dressed in formal work clothes (skirt and blouse) or informal gym clothes (tights and t-shirt) entered a series of randomly selected women's clothing stores in a large mall and proceeded to “shop.” The

Scheduling Containers Rather Than Functions for Function-as-a-Service
2021 IEEE/ACM 21st International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet Computing (CCGrid), 2021Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a compelling technology that allows users to run functions in an event-driven way without concerns about server management. Container-based virtualization enables functions to run in a lightweight and isolated run-time environment, but frequent function executions accompanied with container initialization (cold starts ...

Is Function-as-a-Service a Good Fit for Latency-Critical Services?
Proceedings of the Seventh International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC7) 2021, 2021Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is becoming an increasingly popular cloud-deployment paradigm for serverless computing that frees application developers from managing the infrastructure. At the same time, it allows cloud providers to assert control in workload consolidation, i.e., co-locating multiple containers on the same server, thereby achieving ...

FBaaS: Functional Blockchain as a Service
2018Serverless architecture has been gaining popularity in the last three years. Function as a Service (FaaS) is a concrete realization of the Serverless architecture and has several advantages and features. This paper proposes a new service model which is based on FaaS model, named FBaaS – Functional Blockchain as a Service.

Stateful functions as a service in action
Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2019In the serverless model, users upload application code to a cloud platform and the cloud provider undertakes the deployment, execution and scaling of the application, relieving users from all operational aspects.
