DS2-Based Cross-Data-Space Interoperability for Precision Agriculture

Abstract

Despite the strategies of modern precision agriculture to leverage the integration of legacy agricultural systems, the challenges of IoT data fragmentation, farmers' sovereignty preservation, and limited interoperability still persist. This paper presents our work, conducted within the Horizon Europe DS2 project (DataSpace, DataShare 2.0), that applies an interoperability-oriented framework supporting participants of different agricultural data spaces to share data products and services under secure, sovereign, and transparent methods. The suggested methodology follows a layered reference architecture, where each layer consists of independent operational modules that facilitate the inter-sector data exchange between DigiAgro and AgroScience Data Spaces. The result of this work is an automated ecosystem for sharing diverse farm IoT measurements, satellite images and metrics, weather forecasts, and analytics services across distinct data spaces, aiming to generate accurate recommendations on crop practices, such as irrigation schedules, that farmers and agronomists will rely on to increase crop production while maintaining sustainability.

Learning to Remember: Attentive Reinforcement Learning for Edge Serverless Autoscaling

In edge computing, the stochastic and bursty nature of serverless workloads challenges autonomous resource orchestration. Traditional reactive controllers, such as the Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA), suffer from reaction latency, leading to Service Level Objective (SLO) violations during traffic spikes and resource flapping during ramp-downs. While Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) offers a pathway toward proactive management, standard agents suffer from \textit{temporal blindness}, an inability to exploit the recent temporal context in non-Markovian edge environments. To bridge this gap, we propose a stability-aware autoscaling framework unifying short-horizon temporal context and control via an Attention-Enhanced Double-Stacked LSTM architecture integrated within a Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) agent. Unlike shallow recurrent models, our approach employs a learned attention mechanism that weights recent historical states non-uniformly, suppressing high-frequency jitter while preserving the trend that precedes demand shifts. We validate the framework on two independent Kubernetes clusters using real-world Azure Functions traces. Against the single-layer LSTM ablation and the static HPA baseline, our approach reduces P90 latency by $\approx$67\%, and holds average latency within the 50ms hard SLO for 98.8\% of the run against 49.6\% and 43.5\% respectively. Against Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA), it matches latency performance at 75\% fewer replica-steps and 59\% less churn, with P90 hard-SLO violation bursts of at most 5 consecutive intervals against up to 24 for KEDA. These results indicate that mitigating temporal blindness through deep attentive memory improves the reliability and stability of Kubernetes autoscaling under bursty edge workloads.

Scheduling Coflows in Multi-Core OCS Networks with Performance Guarantee

The coflow abstraction captures application-level communication patterns and enables coordinated scheduling of parallel flows to reduce job completion times in distributed systems. Modern data center networks (DCNs) are employing multiple independent optical circuit switching (OCS) cores operating concurrently to meet the massive bandwidth demands of application jobs. However, existing coflow scheduling research primarily focuses on the single-core setting, while studies of multi-core fabrics have largely considered electrical packet switching (EPS) networks. To address this gap, this paper studies the coflow scheduling problem in multi-core OCS networks under the not-all-stop reconfiguration model, in which the reconfiguration of one circuit does not interrupt other circuits. The challenges stem from two aspects: (i) cross-core coupling induced by traffic assignment across heterogeneous cores; and (ii) per-core OCS scheduling constraints, namely \textit{port exclusivity} and \textit{reconfiguration delay}. We propose an approximation algorithm that jointly integrates cross-core flow assignment and per-core circuit scheduling to minimize the total weighted coflow completion time (CCT) and establish a provable worst-case performance guarantee. Furthermore, our algorithm framework can be applied to the multi-core EPS scenario with a corresponding approximation guarantee for packet-switched fabrics. Trace-driven simulations using real Facebook workloads demonstrate that our algorithm can reduce the total weighted CCT and tail CCT.

PipeLive: Efficient Live In-place Pipeline Parallelism Reconfiguration for Dynamic LLM Serving

Pipeline parallelism (PP) is widely used to partition layers of large language models (LLMs) across GPUs, enabling scalable inference for large models. However, existing systems rely on static PP configurations that fail to adapt to dynamic settings, such as serverless platforms and heterogeneous GPU environments. Reconfiguring PP by stopping and redeploying service incurs prohibitive downtime, so reconfiguration must instead proceed live and in place, without interrupting inference. However, live in-place PP reconfiguration is fundamentally challenging. GPUs are already saturated with model weights and KV cache, leaving little room for new layer placements and necessitating KV cache resizing, at odds with systems like vLLM that preallocate for throughput. Moreover, maintaining KV consistency during execution is difficult: stop-and-copy introduces large pauses, while background synchronization risks inconsistency as states evolve. We present PipeLive, which enables live in-place PP reconfiguration with minimal disruption. PipeLive introduces a redesigned KV cache layout together with a co-designed extension to PageAttention, forming a unified mechanism for live KV resizing. It further adopts an incremental KV patching mechanism, inspired by live virtual machine migration, to synchronize KV states between source and target configurations and identify a safe switch point. PipeLive achieves a 2.5X reduction in time-to-first-token (TTFT) without KV cache overflow compared to disabling KV resizing. Furthermore, compared to a variant without KV patching, it reduces reconfiguration overhead from seconds to under 10ms, and improves TTFT and time-per-output-token (TPOT) by up to 54.7% and 14.7%, respectively.
