Object-level management of tiered memory has been studied to address the inefficiencies in page-based systems. However, object-level management for CXL-tiered memory remains underexplored due to CXL's tight performance budget and load/store interface. As a result, existing approaches remain limited in scope, primarily targeting unmanaged-language applications with bespoke runtimes or compiler support. This paper identifies and explores a new design point for object-level CXL management: managed languages and their runtimes. The key observation is that existing managed runtimes already provide highly optimized mechanisms for problems closely related to object-level management, including object relocation and dynamic code generation. However, they still lack the features needed for tiered memory management, such as hotness tracking and relocation policies, and thus must be carefully extended to fully realize this direction. We present Clove, a system that extends existing managed runtimes to support object-level CXL management for managed-language applications. Clove combines profile-guided object hotness tracking with object relocation techniques and policies. Our JVM prototype demo

Recent advances in multi-agent systems have shown great potential for solving complex tasks. However, when multiple agents edit a shared codebase concurrently, their changes can silently conflict and inconsistent views lead to integration failures. Existing multi-agent systems address this through workspace isolation (e.g., one git worktree per agent), but this defers conflict resolution to a post-hoc merge step where recovery is expensive. In this paper, we propose STORM, i.e., STate-ORiented Management for multi-agent collaboration. Specifically, STORM manages agent states by mediating their interactions with the shared workspace, ensuring that each agent operates on a consistent view of the codebase and that conflicting edits are detected and resolved at write time. We evaluate STORM on Commit0 and PaperBench across multiple LLMs. STORM outperforms the git-worktree-based multi-agent baseline by +18.7 on Commit0-Lite and +1.4 on PaperBench, while achieving comparable or better cost efficiency. Combined with single-agent runs, STORM reaches highest scores of 87.6 and 78.2 on the two benchmarks respectively, suggesting that explicit state management is a more effective foundation f

Serverless platforms face a trade-off: conventional cluster managers like Kubernetes offer compatibility for co-locating Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) components of serverless applications, at the cost of high cold-start latency, whereas specialized FaaS-only systems like Dirigent achieve low latency by sacrificing compatibility, preventing integrated management and optimization. Our analysis reveals that FaaS traffic is bimodal: predictable, sustainable traffic consumes >98% of cluster resources, whereas sporadic, excessive bursts stress the control plane's scaling latency, not its throughput. With these insights, we design PulseNet, a serverless architecture that uses a dual-track control plane tailored to both traffic types. PulseNet's standard track manages sustainable traffic with long-lived, full-featured Regular Instances under a conventional cluster manager, preserving compatibility for the majority of the workload. To handle excessive traffic, an expedited track bypasses the slow manager to rapidly create short-lived, disposable Emergency Instances, minimizing cold-start latency and resource waste from idle instances. This hybrid approach

Nowadays, environmental protection has become a global consensus. At the same time, with the rapid development of science and technology, urbanisation has become a phenomenon that has become the norm. Therefore, the urban greening management system is an essential component in protecting the urban environment. The system utilises a transparent management process known as" monitoring - early warning - response - optimisation," which enhances the tracking of greening resources, streamlines maintenance scheduling, and encourages employee involvement in planning. Designed with a microservice architecture, the system can improve the utilisation of greening resources by 30%, increase citizen satisfaction by 20%, and support carbon neutrality objectives, ultimately making urban governance more intelligent and focused on the community. The Happy City Greening Management System effectively manages gardeners, trees, flowers, and green spaces. It comprises modules for gardener management, purchase and supplier management, tree and flower management, and maintenance planning. Its automation feature allows for real-time updates of greening data, thereby enhancing decision-making. The system is

This paper proposes an effective Gaussian management framework for high-fidelity scene reconstruction of both appearance and geometry. Unlike recent Gaussian Splatting (GS) pipelines that treat all primitives uniformly during optimization, our framework explicitly manages the attribute activation, representation and pruning of Gaussian. Specifically, our framework first introduces GauSep, a novel densification strategy that selectively activates Gaussian color or normal attributes to alleviate destructive gradient conflicts arising from dual supervision. We further propose GauRep, an adaptive Gaussian representation that dynamically adjusts spherical harmonics (SHs) orders and performs task-decoupled pruning to reduce redundancy at both the individual and global levels. To provide reliable geometric supervision for above mangement process, we additionally introduce CoRe, an regularized surface reconstruction module that distills robust normal fields from an SDF branch to the Gaussian representation through a confidence mechanism. Notably, the proposed Gaussian management is compatible with various reconstruction architectures and can be seamlessly integrated to improve performance

This paper presents a novel disturbance-torque-estimation-augmented model predictive control (MPC) framework to perform momentum management on NASA's Solar Cruiser solar sail mission. Solar Cruiser represents a critical step in the advancement of large-scale solar sail technology and includes the innovative use of an active mass translator (AMT) and reflectivity control devices (RCDs) as momentum management actuators. The coupled nature of these actuators has proven challenging in the development of a robust momentum management controller. Recent literature has explored the use of MPC for solar sail momentum management with promising results, although exact knowledge of the disturbance torques acting on the solar sail was required. This paper amends this issue through the use of a Kalman filter to provide real-time estimation of unmodeled disturbance torques. Furthermore, the dynamics model used in this paper incorporates key fidelity enhancements compared to prior work, including Solar Cruiser's four-reaction-wheel assembly and the offset between its center of mass and center of pressure. More realistic operation scenarios involving the tracking of large angle slew maneuvers under

This study addresses critical challenges in managing the transportation of spent nuclear fuel, including inadequate data transparency, stringent confidentiality requirements, and a lack of trust among collaborating parties, issues prevalent in traditional centralized management systems. Given the high risks involved, balancing data confidentiality with regulatory transparency is imperative. To overcome these limitations, a prototype system integrating blockchain technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) is proposed, featuring a multi-tiered consortium chain architecture. This system utilizes IoT sensors for real-time data collection, which is immutably recorded on the blockchain, while a hierarchical data structure (operational, supervisory, and public layers) manages access for diverse stakeholders. The results demonstrate that this approach significantly enhances data immutability, enables real-time multi-sensor data integration, improves decentralized transparency, and increases resilience compared to traditional systems. Ultimately, this blockchain-IoT framework improves the safety, transparency, and efficiency of spent fuel transportation, effectively resolving the conflict

Large Language Models are increasingly being deployed in datacenters. Serving these models requires careful memory management, as their memory usage includes static weights, dynamic activations, and key-value caches. While static weights are constant and predictable, dynamic components such as activations and KV caches change frequently during runtime, presenting significant challenges for efficient memory management. Modern LLM serving systems typically handle runtime memory and KV caches at distinct abstraction levels: runtime memory management relies on static tensor abstractions, whereas KV caches utilize a page table-based virtualization layer built on top of the tensor abstraction. This virtualization dynamically manages KV caches to mitigate memory fragmentation. However, this dual-level approach fundamentally isolates runtime memory and KV cache management, resulting in suboptimal memory utilization under dynamic workloads, which can lead to a nearly 20% drop in throughput. To address these limitations, we propose eLLM, an elastic memory management framework inspired by the classical memory ballooning mechanism in operating systems. The core components of eLLM include: (1)

Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for automating and executing complex data tasks. However, their integration into more complex data workflows introduces significant management challenges. In response, we present TableVault - a data management system designed to handle dynamic data collections in LLM-augmented environments. TableVault meets the demands of these workflows by supporting concurrent execution, ensuring reproducibility, maintaining robust data versioning, and enabling composable workflow design. By merging established database methodologies with emerging LLM-driven requirements, TableVault offers a transparent platform that efficiently manages both structured data and associated data artifacts.

The increasing complexity of modern software systems necessitates robust autonomic self-management capabilities. While Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate potential in this domain, they often face challenges in adapting their general knowledge to specific service contexts. To address this limitation, we propose ServiceOdyssey, a self-learning agent system that autonomously manages microservices without requiring prior knowledge of service-specific configurations. By leveraging curriculum learning principles and iterative exploration, ServiceOdyssey progressively develops a deep understanding of operational environments, reducing dependence on human input or static documentation. A prototype built with the Sock Shop microservice demonstrates the potential of this approach for autonomic microservice management.

Context: There is an increase in the investment and development of data-intensive (DI) solutions, systems that manage large amounts of data. Without careful management, this growing investment will also grow associated technical debt (TD). Delivery of DI solutions requires a multidisciplinary skill set, but there is limited knowledge about how multidisciplinary teams develop DI systems and manage TD. Objective: This research contributes empirical, practice based insights about multidisciplinary DI team TD management practices. Method: This research was conducted as an exploratory observation case study. We used socio-technical grounded theory (STGT) for data analysis to develop concepts and categories that articulate TD and TDs debt management practices. Results: We identify TD that the DI team deals with, in particular technical data components debt and pipeline debt. We explain how the team manages the TD, assesses TD, what TD treatments they consider and how they implement TD treatments to fit sprint capacity constraints. Conclusion: We align our findings to existing TD and TDM taxonomies, discuss their implications and highlight the need for new implementation patterns and tool

This paper will propose a novel machine learning based portfolio management method in the context of the cryptocurrency market. Previous researchers mainly focus on the prediction of the movement for specific cryptocurrency such as the bitcoin(BTC) and then trade according to the prediction. In contrast to the previous work that treats the cryptocurrencies independently, this paper manages a group of cryptocurrencies by analyzing the relative relationship. Specifically, in each time step, we utilize the neural network to predict the rank of the future return of the managed cryptocurrencies and place weights accordingly. By incorporating such cross-sectional information, the proposed methods is shown to profitable based on the backtesting experiments on the real daily cryptocurrency market data from May, 2020 to Nov, 2023. During this 3.5 years, the market experiences the full cycle of bullish, bearish and stagnant market conditions. Despite under such complex market conditions, the proposed method outperforms the existing methods and achieves a Sharpe ratio of 1.01 and annualized return of 64.26%. Additionally, the proposed method is shown to be robust to the increase of transactio

Efficient memory management in heterogeneous systems is increasingly challenging due to diverse compute architectures (e.g., CPU, GPU, FPGA) and dynamic task mappings not known at compile time. Existing approaches often require programmers to manage data placement and transfers explicitly, or assume static mappings that limit portability and scalability. This paper introduces RIMMS (Runtime Integrated Memory Management System), a lightweight, runtime-managed, hardware-agnostic memory abstraction layer that decouples application development from low-level memory operations. RIMMS transparently tracks data locations, manages consistency, and supports efficient memory allocation across heterogeneous compute elements without requiring platform-specific tuning or code modifications. We integrate RIMMS into a baseline runtime and evaluate with complete radar signal processing applications across CPU+GPU and CPU+FPGA platforms. RIMMS delivers up to 2.43X speedup on GPU-based and 1.82X on FPGA-based systems over the baseline. Compared to IRIS, a recent heterogeneous runtime system, RIMMS achieves up to 3.08X speedup and matches the performance of native CUDA implementations while significa

On modern computers with graphical user interfaces, application windows are managed by a window manager, a core component of the desktop environment. Mainstream operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Apple's macOS employ window managers, where users rely on a mouse or trackpad to manually resize, reposition, and switch between overlapping windows. This approach can become inefficient, particularly on smaller screens such as laptops, where frequent window adjustments disrupt workflow and increase task completion time. An alternative paradigm, dynamic window management, automatically arranges application windows into non-overlapping layouts. These systems reduce the need for manual manipulation by providing intelligent placement strategies and support for multiple workspaces. Despite their potential usability benefits, dynamic window managers remain niche, primarily available on Linux systems and rarely enabled by default. This study evaluates the usability of dynamic window managers in comparison to conventional floating window systems. We developed a prototype dynamic window manager that incorporates configurable layouts and workspace management, and we conducted both heur

As AI becomes more embedded in workplaces, it is shifting from a tool for efficiency to an active force in organizational decision-making. Whether due to anthropomorphism or intentional design choices, people often assign human-like qualities, including gender, to AI systems. However, how AI managers are perceived in comparison to human managers and how gender influences these perceptions remains uncertain. To investigate this, we conducted randomized controlled trials (RCTs) where teams of three participants worked together under a randomly assigned manager. The manager was either a human or an AI and was presented as male, female, or gender-unspecified. The manager's role was to select the best-performing team member for an additional award. Our findings reveal that while participants initially showed no strong preference based on manager type or gender, their perceptions changed notably after experiencing the award process. As expected, those who received awards rated their managers as more trustworthy, competent, and fair, and they were more willing to work with similar managers in the future. In contrast, those who were not selected viewed them less favorably. However, male ma

Data distribution across different facilities offers benefits such as enhanced resource utilization, increased resilience through replication, and improved performance by processing data near its source. However, managing such data is challenging due to heterogeneous access protocols, disparate authentication models, and the lack of a unified coordination framework. This paper presents DynoStore, a system that manages data across heterogeneous storage systems. At the core of DynoStore are data containers, an abstraction that provides standardized interfaces for seamless data management, irrespective of the underlying storage systems. Multiple data container connections create a cohesive wide-area storage network, ensuring resilience using erasure coding policies. Furthermore, a load-balancing algorithm ensures equitable and efficient utilization of storage resources. We evaluate DynoStore using benchmarks and real-world case studies, including the management of medical and satellite data across geographically distributed environments. Our results demonstrate a 10\% performance improvement compared to centralized cloud-hosted systems while maintaining competitive performance with st

With the evolution of process approaches within organizations, the increasing importance of quality management systems (like ISO 9001) and the recent introduction of ISO 30401 for knowledge management, we examine how these different elements converge within the framework of an Integrated Management System. The article specifically demonstrates how an ISO30401-compliant knowledge management system can be implemented by deploying the mechanisms of the SECI model through the steps of the PDCA cycle as applied in the processes of the integrated management system.

In the modern world, the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has contributed to improvements in various areas, including automation, computer vision, fraud detection, and more. AI can be leveraged to enhance the efficiency of Autonomous Smart Traffic Management (ASTM) systems and reduce traffic congestion rates. This paper presents an Autonomous Smart Traffic Management (STM) system that uses AI to improve traffic flow rates. The system employs the YOLO V5 Convolutional Neural Network to detect vehicles in traffic management images. Additionally, it predicts the number of vehicles for the next 12 hours using a Recurrent Neural Network with Long Short-Term Memory (RNN-LSTM). The Smart Traffic Management Cycle Length Analysis manages the traffic cycle length based on these vehicle predictions, aided by AI. From the results of the RNN-LSTM model for predicting vehicle numbers over the next 12 hours, we observe that the model predicts traffic with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 4.521 vehicles and a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 2.232 vehicles. After simulating the STM system in the CARLA simulation environment, we found that the Traffic Management Congestion Flow Rate with A
