DESCRIPTION:\n\nCLOUD COMPUTING SEMINAR SERIES\n\n\n\nTitle: Learning-Centr
 ic\, Payload and QoS-Aware Function Resource Configuration and Management 
 in Serverless Computing\nSpeaker: Siddharth Agarwal\, University of Melbou
 rne\nDate &amp\; Time: January 12\, 2026 (Monday)\, 4PM\nVenue: CDS 102 Se
 minar Hall\n\n\n\nABSTRACT\n\nServerless computing\, primarily Function-as
 -a-Service (FaaS)\, has surged for cloud-native micro-services by offloadi
 ng infrastructure management to the cloud provider\, boosting developer pr
 oductivity. FaaS executes small\, stateless\, event-driven functions with 
 an attractive pay-per-use economic model. However\, FaaS faces performance
  challenges like cold starts and auto-scaling bottlenecks. These issues ar
 e worsened by the platform's static resource configurations\, forcing deve
 lopers into suboptimal choices\, creating a conflict between performance a
 nd cost\, and hindering efficient dynamic resource management. This semina
 r presents research that aims to address these limitations by exploring le
 arning-centric function configuration and management to improve operationa
 l cost\, resource utilisation while maintaining acceptable user Quality-of
 -Service (QoS).\n\nBIOGRAPHY\n\nSiddharth Agarwal is a recent PhD graduate
  from the University of Melbourne\, Australia\, where he was a member of t
 he Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory. Supervised
  by Professor Rajkumar Buyya and Dr. Maria Rodriguez\, his doctoral resear
 ch focused on optimising Serverless computing (FaaS) environments using AI
 /ML-driven resource management. He is a recipient of the Melbourne Researc
 h Scholarship for his Doctoral studies and the Dean’s Honors List (2021)
  during his Masters. He also brings industry perspective from his tenure a
 s an Associate System Engineer at IBM India. His current research interest
 s lie at the intersection of data-driven workload-aware and autonomous res
 ource configuration and management of resources in serverless cloud ecosys
 tems.\n\nHost Faculty: Prof. Yogesh Simmhan\n\n\n\nABOUT: The IBM-IISc Hyb
 rid Cloud Lab (IIHCL) hosted at IISc is curating the Cloud Computing Semin
 ar series with guest speakers from Industry and Academia speaking about th
 e latest technologies and research on Cloud and edge computing\, distribut
 ed computing systems\, and AI/ML/Big Data platforms.\n\n\n\nALL ARE WELCOM
