Content delivery networks (CDNs) are the backbone of the Internet and are key in delivering high quality video on demand (VoD), web content and file services to billions of users. CDNs usually consist of hierarchically organized content…
With the widespread use of shared-nothing clusters of servers, there has been a proliferation of distributed object stores that offer high availability, reliability and enhanced performance for MapReduce-style workloads. However, relational…
Modern web services rely on Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to efficiently deliver contents to end users. In order to minimize the experienced communication cost, it is necessary to send the end user's requests to the nearest servers.…
Today's datacenter applications rely on datastores that are required to provide high availability, consistency, and performance. To achieve high availability, these datastores replicate data across several nodes. Such replication is managed…
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) offers a novel architectural paradigm that seeks to address the inherent limitations of the prevailing Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking model. In contrast to the host-centric communication approach of…
Today's Cloud applications are dominated by composite applications comprising multiple computing and data components with strong communication correlations among them. Although Cloud providers are deploying large number of computing and…
Replica placement (RP) intended at producing a set of duplicated data items across the nodes of a distributed system in order to optimize fault tolerance, availability, system performance load balancing. Typically, RP formulations employ…
The deployment of edge computing infrastructure requires a careful placement of the edge servers, with an aim to improve application latencies and reduce data transfer load in opportunistic Internet of Things systems. In the edge server…
The growth of video streaming has stretched the Internet to its limitation. In other words, the Internet was originally devised to connect a limited number of computers so that they can share network resources, so the Internet cannot handle…
Internet usage has shifted from host-centric end-to-end communication to a content-centric approach mainly used for content delivery. Information Centric Networking (ICN) was proposed as a promising novel content delivery architecture. ICN…
The facility location problem is a well-known challenge in logistics that is proven to be NP-hard. In this paper we specifically simulate the geographical placement of facilities to provide adequate service to customers. Determining…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a recent paradigm in telecommunication networks that disentangles data and control planes and brings more flexibility and efficiency to the network as a result. The Controller Placement (CP) problem in…
Several major Internet service providers (e.g., Level-3, AT&T, Verizon) today also offer content distribution services. The emergence of such "Network-CDNs" (NCDNs) are driven by market forces that place more value on content services than…
Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new network architecture (Internet) that focuses on content rather than the end-hosts. Named Data Networking (NDN) is a specific implementation of ICN, which relies on the use of named data and a…
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) deliver content (e.g. Web pages, videos) to geographically distributed end-users over the Internet. Some contents do sometimes attract the attention of a large group of end-users. This often leads to flash…
The Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm is enabling flexibility, programmability and implementation of traditional network functions into generic hardware, in form of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). To provide services, the…
In this paper, downlink delivery of popular content is optimized with the assistance of wireless cache nodes. Specifically, the requests of one file is modeled as a Poisson point process with finite lifetime, and two downlink transmission…
Value-added Services (VASs) (e.g. dynamic site acceleration, media management) play a critical role in Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) enables the agile provisioning of VASs. In NFV settings, VASs…
In a content delivery network (CDN), resources are strained during peak-time and underutilised in off-peak times when supplying digital content to users. Caching can help balance this. At the off-peak time some content is delivered to…
In-network caching is one of the fundamental operations of Information-centric networks (ICN). The default caching strategy taken by most of the current ICN proposals is caching along--default--path, which makes popular objects to be cached…
