For safe and efficient planning and control in autonomous driving, we need a driving policy which can achieve desirable driving quality in long-term horizon with guaranteed safety and feasibility. Optimization-based approaches, such as…
Named Data Networking (NDN) is an emerging technology for a future internet architecture that addresses weaknesses of the Internet Protocol (IP). Since Internet users and applications have demonstrated an ever-increasing need for high speed…
Large systems are commonly internetworked. A security policy describes the communication relationship between the networked entities. The security policy defines rules, for example that A can connect to B, which results in a directed graph.…
Failures in optical network backbone can lead to major disruption of internet data traffic. Hence, minimizing such failures is of paramount importance for the network operators. Even better, if the network failures can be predicted and…
Learning precise distributions of traffic features (e.g., burst sizes, packet inter-arrival time) is still a largely unsolved problem despite being critical for management tasks such as capacity planning or anomaly detection. A key…
Internet routing can often be sub-optimal, with the chosen routes providing worse performance than other available policy-compliant routes. This stems from the lack of visibility into route performance at the network layer. While this is an…
Device-to-Device (D2D) communications is a technology that allows mobile users to relay information to each other, without access to the cellular network. In this paper, we consider how to dynamically select multi-hop routes for D2D…
Optical data center networks (DCNs) are emerging as a promising solution for cloud infrastructure in the post-Moore's Law era, particularly with the advent of 'fast-switched' optical architectures capable of circuit reconfiguration at…
Data-driven methods have become paramount in modern systems and control problems characterized by growing levels of complexity. In safety-critical environments, deploying these methods requires rigorous guarantees, a need that has motivated…
This article studies disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) where each node knows the probabilistic distribution of contacts with other nodes. It proposes a framework that allows one to formalize the behaviour of such a network. It generalizes…
Inter-datacenter networks connect dozens of geographically dispersed datacenters and carry traffic flows with highly variable sizes and different classes. Adaptive flow routing can improve efficiency and performance by assigning paths to…

5G and Beyond networks promise low-latency support for applications that need to deliver mission-critical data with strict deadlines. However, innovations on the physical and medium access layers are not sufficient. Additional…
Software-defined networking (SDN) technology aims to create a highly flexible network by decoupling control plane and the data plane and programming them independently. There has been a lot of research on improving and optimizing the…
In this paper we consider a next generation edge architecture where traffic is routed via a proxy located close to the network edge (e.g. within a cloudlet). This creates freedom to implement new transport layer behaviour over the wireless…
An intelligent agent operating in the real-world must balance achieving its goal with maintaining the safety and comfort of not only itself, but also other participants within the surrounding scene. This requires jointly reasoning about the…
We currently witness the emergence of interesting new network topologies optimized towards the traffic matrices they serve, such as demand-aware datacenter interconnects (e.g., ProjecToR) and demand-aware overlay networks (e.g., SplayNets).…
While there are various methods to detect application layer attacks or intrusion attempts on an individual end host, it is not efficient to provide all end hosts in the network with heavy-duty defense systems or software firewalls. In this…
