Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 56HealthFaaS: AI-Based Smart Healthcare System for Heart Patients Using Serverless Computing(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2023-11-01) Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Parlikad, Ajith Kumar; Uhlig, SteveHeart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and with early detection, mortality rates can be reduced. Well-known studies have shown that the latest artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to determine the risk of heart disease. However, existing studies did not consider dynamic scalability to get the best performance from these AI models in case of an increasing number of users. To solve this problem, we proposed an AI-powered smart healthcare framework called HealthFaaS, using the Internet of Things (IoT) and a Serverless Computing environment to reduce heart disease-related deaths and prevent financial losses by reducing misdiagnoses. HealthFaaS framework collects health data from users via IoT devices and sends it to AI models deployed on a Google Cloud Platform (GCP)-based serverless computing environment due to its advantages, such as dynamic scalability, less operational complexity, and a pay-as-you-go pricing model. The performance of five different AI models for heart disease risk detection is evaluated and compared based on key parameters, such as accuracy, precision, recall, F-Score, and AUC. Experimental results demonstrate that the light gradient boosting machine model gives the highest success in detecting heart diseases with an accuracy rate of 91.80%. Further, we have tested the performance of the HealthFaaS framework in terms of Quality-of-Service (QoS) parameters, such as throughput and latency against the increasing number of users and compared it with a non-serverless platform. In addition, we have also evaluated the cold start latency using a serverless platform which determined that the amount of memory and the software language makes a direct impact on the cold start latency.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 25Cold Start Latency in Serverless Computing: A Systematic Review, Taxonomy, and Future Directions(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2024-11-11) Golec, Muhammed; Walia, Guneet kaur; Kumar, Mohit; Cuadrado, Felix; Gill, Sukhpal singh; Uhlig, SteveRecently, academics and the corporate sector have paid attention to serverless computing, which enables dynamic scalability and an economic model. In serverless computing, users only pay for the time they actually use resources, enabling zero scaling to optimise cost and resource utilisation. However, this approach also introduces the serverless cold start problem. Researchers have developed various solutions to address the cold start problem, yet it remains an unresolved research area. In this article, we propose a systematic literature review on cold start latency in serverless computing. Furthermore, we create a detailed taxonomy of approaches to cold start latency, which we use to investigate existing techniques for reducing the cold start time and frequency. We have classified the current studies on cold start latency into several categories such as caching and application-level optimisation-based solutions, as well as Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning-based solutions. Moreover, we have analyzed the impact of cold start latency on quality of service, explored current cold start latency mitigation methods, datasets, and implementation platforms, and classified them into categories based on their common characteristics and features. Finally, we outline the open challenges and highlight the possible future directions.Article Citation - Scopus: 9Captain: A Testbed for Co-Simulation of Scalable Serverless Computing Environments for AIoT Enabled Predictive Maintenance in Industry 4.0(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-08-15) Golec, Muhammed; Wu, Huaming; Ozturac, Ridvan; Kumar Parlikad, Ajith; Cuadrado Latasa, Felix; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Uhlig, Steve; Cuadrado, Felix; Singh Gill, SukhpalThe massive amounts of data generated by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) require considerable processing power, which increases carbon emissions and energy usage, and we need sustainable solutions to enable flexible manufacturing. Serverless computing shows potential for meeting this requirement by scaling idle containers to zero energy-efficiency and cost, but this will lead to a cold start delay. Most solutions rely on idle containers, which necessitates dynamic request time forecasting and container execution monitoring. Furthermore, Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) can provide autonomous and sustainable solutions by combining IIoT with artificial intelligence (AI) to solve this problem. Therefore, we develop a new testbed, CAPTAIN, to facilitate AI-based co-simulation of scalable and flexible serverless computing in IIoT environments. The AI module in the CAPTAIN framework employs random forest (RF) and light gradient-boosting machine (LightGBM) models to optimize cold start frequency and prevent cold starts based on their prediction results. The proxy module additionally monitors the client-server network and constantly updates the AI module training dataset via a message queue. Finally, we evaluated the proxy module’s performance using a predictive maintenance-based real-world IIoT application and the AI module’s performance in a realistic serverless environment using a Microsoft Azure dataset. The AI module of the CAPTAIN outperforms baselines in terms of cold start frequency, computational time with 0.5 ms, energy consumption with 1161.0 joules, and CO2 emissions with 32.25e-05 gCO<inf>2</inf>. The CAPTAIN testbed provides a co-simulation of sustainable and scalable serverless computing environments for AIoT-enabled predictive maintenance in Industry 4.0. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 27BlockFaas: Blockchain-Enabled Serverless Computing Framework for AI-Driven IoT Healthcare Applications(Springer, 2023-11-03) Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Golec, Mustafa; Xu, Minxian; Ghosh, Soumya K.; Kanhere, Salil S.; Uhlig, SteveWith the development of new sensor technologies, Internet of Things (IoT)-based healthcare applications have gained momentum in recent years. However, IoT devices have limited resources, making them incapable of executing large computational operations. To solve this problem, the serverless paradigm, with its advantages such as dynamic scalability and infrastructure management, can be used to support the requirements of IoT-based applications. However, due to the heterogeneous structure of IoT, user trust must also be taken into account when providing this integration. This problem can be overcome by using a Blockchain that guarantees data immutability and ensures that any data generated by the IoT device is not modified. This paper proposes a BlockFaaS framework that supports dynamic scalability and guarantees security and privacy by integrating a serverless platform and Blockchain architecture into latency-sensitive Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based healthcare applications. To do this, we deployed the AIBLOCK framework, which guarantees data immutability in smart healthcare applications, into HealthFaaS, a serverless-based framework for heart disease risk detection. To expand this framework, we used high-performance AI models and a more efficient Blockchain module. We use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol in all communication channels to ensure privacy within the framework. To validate the proposed framework, we compare its performance with the HealthFaaS and AIBLOCK frameworks. The results show that BlockFaaS outperforms HealthFaaS with an AUC of 4.79% and consumes 162.82 millijoules less energy on the Blockchain module than AIBLOCK. Additionally, the cold start latency value occurring in Google Cloud Platform, the serverless platform into which BlockFaaS is integrated, and the factors affecting this value are examined.
