Today, video analytics are becoming extremely popular due to the increasing need for extracting valuable information from videos available in public sharing services through camera-driven streams. Typically, video analytics are organized as a set of separate tasks, each of which has different resource requirements (e.g., computational- vs. memory-intensive tasks). The serverless computing paradigm forms a very promising approach for mapping such types of applications, as it enables fine-grained deployment and management in a per-function manner. However, modern serverless frameworks suffer from performance variability issues, due to i) the interference introduced due to co-location of third-party workloads with the serverless funcations and ii) the increasing hardware heterogeneity introduced in public clouds. To this end, this work introduces Darly, a QoS- and heterogeneity-aware Deep Reinforcement Learning-based Scheduler for serverless video analytics deployments. The proposed framework incorporates a DRL agent which exploits low-level performance counters to identify the levels of interference and the degree of heterogeneity in the underlying infrastructure and combines this information along with user-defined QoS requirements to dynamically optimize resource allocations by deciding the placement, migration, or horizontal scaling of serverless functions. Promising results are produced withing our experiments, which are accompanied with the intent to further build upon this groundwork.

The maritime industry is a significant source of global carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, and the accurate prediction of emissions in this domain is of paramount importance. In this paper, we conduct a comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms for predicting CO 2 emissions in the maritime domain. Using a unique dataset, comprising historical maritime data for different vessel voyages, including vessel type, voyage information and environmental factors, we employ decision trees, a number of regression, and artificial neural network algorithms. Performance evaluation is conducted using established metrics such as R2 (%), Mean Absolute Error, Normalized Root Mean Squared Error and Symmetric Mean Biased Error. Our findings reveal that the Extra Trees Regressor and Multi-layer Perceptron regressor algorithms outperform the other methods in terms of prediction accuracy demonstrating the least amount of error. Our research contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the potential of machine learning in predicting maritime CO 2 emissions and provides insights for further research, such as exploring alternative algorithms and incorporating real-time data Integration.

Nowadays, buildings account for almost 40% of the overall energy consumption. Thus, it is essential to involve a broad range of stakeholders throughout the building lifecycle, with the development of innovative, cross-cutting energy services, which exploit the ever-increasing volume of available data. In this paper we present a novel library of AI-based data-driven services for the built environment with the aim of addressing decarbonization challenges and of facilitating datadriven decision making. The issue of handling energy-related data in an efficient way is tackled, incorporating them in user-friendly, micro-services oriented technological components. The architecture of this AI-base library is thoroughly presented covering learning, optimization and simulation tasks. showcase our approach to energy resource management.
