The group focuses on resource optimization, security, and trust
management in cloud and edge environments. The group develops resource management
algorithms for software-defined clouds to enhance resource utilization, minimize energy
consumption, and improve overall performance. It integrates AI-enabled techniques to
detect and mitigate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, strengthening cloud security.
Leveraging blockchain technology, the group addresses trust management challenges,
including SLA violation detection, data provenance assurance, federated learning and
fine-grained access control. Additionally, it designs efficient and scalable consensus
algorithms for blockchain networks, ensuring secure trust management.
