Stable and Fault-Tolerant Decentralized Traffic Engineering
Cloud providers have recently decentralized their wide-area network traffic engineering (TE) systems to contain the impact of TE controller failures. In the decentralized design, a controller fault only impacts its slice of the network, limiting the blast radius to a fraction of the network. However, we find that autonomous slice controllers can arrive at divergent traffic allocations that overload links by 30% beyond their capacity. We present Symphony, a decentralized TE system that addresses…

A Decentralized Microservice Scheduling Approach Using Service Mesh in Cloud-Edge Systems
As microservice-based systems scale across the cloud-edge continuum, traditional centralized scheduling mechanisms increasingly struggle with latency, coordination overhead, and fault tolerance. This paper presents a new architectural direction: leveraging service mesh sidecar proxies as decentralized, in-situ schedulers to enable scalable, low-latency coordination in large-scale, cloud-native environments. We propose embedding lightweight, autonomous scheduling logic into each sidecar, allowin…

Federated Edge Learning for Predictive Maintenance in 6G Small Cell Networks
The rollout of 6G networks introduces unprecedented demands for autonomy, reliability, and scalability. However, the transmission of sensitive telemetry data to central servers raises concerns about privacy and bandwidth. To address this, we propose a federated edge learning framework for predictive maintenance in 6G small cell networks. The system adopts a Knowledge Defined Networking (KDN) architecture in Data, Knowledge, and Control Planes to support decentralized intelligence, telemetry-dri…

#BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for an immediate “administrative” stay of a Rhode Island district judge’s order that is otherwise requiring it to resume the distribution of SNAP benefits from other funding sources no later than the end of today.

Anarcho-syndicalism is the belief that workers, as the fundamental producers of social value, must seize control of the means of production through direct action and autonomous organization. It rejects both capitalist private ownership and state-controlled systems, arguing instead for a decentralized federation of worker-managed industries. From my perspective, anarcho-syndicalism is not merely an economic strategy but a revolutionary theory of social transformation, one that places the work…

The Economic Impact of DeFi Crime Events on Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)
The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem has experienced over \$10 billion in direct losses due to crime events. Beyond these immediate losses, such events often trigger broader market reactions, including price declines, trading activity changes, and reductions in market capitalization. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) govern DeFi applications through tradable governance assets that function like corporate shares for voting and decision-making. Leveraging DeFi's granular trading…

Zero Trust-based Decentralized Identity Management System for Autonomous Vehicles
The rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs) promises to significantly enhance transportation safety and efficiency by mitigating human error, which is responsible for over 90\% of road accidents. However, the increasing connectivity of AVs introduces new cybersecurity challenges, as traditional perimeter-based security models are inadequate for dynamic and untrusted environments. This paper presents a novel Zero Trust-based Decentralized Identity Management (D-IM) protocol for AVs. By integrating the…

Life on college campuses has changed dramatically in the last 10 months.
While institutions of higher education continue to reel from the Trump administration’s top-down attacks and scramble to adjust,
workers on campus say that their universities are simultaneously expanding their own internal repression and surveillance apparatuses to squash dissent

Campus life is unrecognizable in the Trump era: ‘There’s so many cops everywhere’
As the federal government continues its top-down assault on higher education, universities are internally building repression and surveillance machines that mirror the Trump administration.

Two sides of the same presidency played out simultaneously along the National Mall on Thursday afternoon.
At one end, Donald Trump was telling the world to give peace a chance at a meeting with African leaders.
It was possible, he said, “to begin healing old wounds and transcending past differences and creating a future where every child of God can live in dignity, prosperity and peace.”
At the other end of the mall, top officials from his Defense Department were being grill…
