Adam Godel wins the Student Research Competition at SOSP’26

Congratulations to Adam Godel for winning 1st place at the Student Research Competition (undergraduate category) that took place at SOSP’26! Adam presented his research project on closing the data alignment gap in secure analytics systems. Recent systems, like ORQ (SOSP’25), CryptDough (SOSP’26) and others, have made secure collaborative analytics systems both faster and easier to […]

New research award from i-Scale

We have received an i-Scale award for the project Streaming GNN Inference for Real-time Anomaly Detection on Microservice Graphs. The project will explore leveraging Graph Neural Networks to enhance security monitoring for cloud-native microservice environments. Many thanks to the i-Scale Industry Advisory Board!

Talia Chen is a finalist of the SIGOPS SRC at SOSP’24

Talia Chen participated in the Student Research Competition of SOSP’24, undergraduate category, with a poster of her work, “Scaling GNN Sampling on Large-Scale Graphs with io_uring”. Talia made it to the final round, where she gave a short presentation in front of the judges and SOSP attendees. Congratulations, Talia!  

Paper accepted at EuroSys’25

Our paper “CAPSys: Contention-aware task placement for data stream processing” was accepted at EuroSys’25! We performed an empirical evaluation study to show that task placement not only significantly affects streaming query performance but also the convergence and accuracy of auto-scaling controllers. To address this issue, we propose CAPSys, an adaptive resource controller for dataflow stream […]

Autoscaling research makes its way into Apache Flink

The latest Apache Flink Kubernetes Operator release includes an autoscaler component based on the OSDI’18 paper “Three steps is all you need: fast, accurate, automatic scaling decisions for distributed streaming dataflows” co-authored by Vasiliki Kalavri and John Liagouris. We are glad to see our research impact and very grateful to the Flink community for seeing […]
