Service-based architectures provide substantial benefits, yet service orchestration remains a challenge, particularly for newcomers. While various resources on orchestration techniques exist, they often lack clarity and standardization,…
We design a coordination mechanism between a distribution system operator (DSO) and distributed energy resource aggregators (DERAs) participating directly in the wholesale electricity market. Aimed at ensuring system reliability while…
Mobile edge computing seeks to provide resources to different delay-sensitive applications. This is a challenging problem as an edge cloud-service provider may not have sufficient resources to satisfy all resource requests. Furthermore,…
Services with distributed and interdependent components are becoming a popular option for harnessing dispersed resources available on cloud and edge networks. However, effective deployment and management of these services, namely service…
Network virtualization allows one to build dynamic distributed systems in which resources can be dynamically allocated at locations where they are most useful. In order to fully exploit the benefits of this new technology, protocols need to…
To meet the growing local and distributed computing needs, the cloud is now descending to the network edge and sometimes to user equipments. This approach aims at distributing computing, data processing, and networking services closer to…
Ultra-dense networks (UDNs) represent a transformative access architecture for upcoming sixth generation (6G) systems, poised to meet the surging demand for high data rates. Achieving precise synchronization across diverse base stations…
In scenarios with numerous emergencies that arise and require the assistance of various rescue units (e.g., medical, fire, \& police forces), the rescue units would ideally be allocated quickly and distributedly while aiming to minimize…
