A social approach can be exploited for the Internet of Things (IoT) to manage a large number of connected objects. These objects operate as autonomous agents to request and provide information and services to users. Establishing trustworthy…
With 5G's rapid global uptake, demand for agile private networks has exploded. A defining beyond-5G capability is network slicing. 3GPP specifies three core slice categories, massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC), enhanced Mobile…
Off-grid networks are recently emerging as a solution to connect the unconnected or provide alternative services to networks of possibly untrusted participants. The systems currently used, however, exhibit limitations due to their…
The networking community continues to create new technologies and update existing ones to improve the quality, reliability, and "tailorability" of data networks. However, whenever Internet service providers attempt to productize…
Autonomous vehicles are expected to emerge as a main trend in vehicle development over the next decade. To support autonomous vehicles, ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) is required between autonomous vehicles and…
5G is enabling different services over the same physical infrastructure through the concepts and technologies of virtualization, softwarization, slicing and cloud computing. Virtual Mobile Networks (VMNs), using these concepts, provide an…
Trust-building mechanisms among network entities of different administrative domains will gain significant importance in 6G because a future mobile network will be operated cooperatively by a variety of different stakeholders rather than by…
Online social networks facilitate user engagement and information sharing but are also rife with misinformation and deception. Research on trust modeling in online social networks focuses on developing computational models or algorithms to…
Future 5G services are characterised by unprecedented need for high rate, ubiquitous availability, ultra-low latency and high reliability. The fragmented network view that is widespread in current networks will not stand the challenge posed…
Network Digital Twins represent a key technology in future networks, expected to provide the capability to perform accurate analysis and predictions about the behaviour of 6G mobile networks. However, despite the availability of several…
5G/B5G is envisioned to support various services with the assistance of network slices, each slice instance asks for adequate resources to provide the pre-negotiated service quality to its subscribers. Slice Admission Control (SAC)…
Network virtualization is a key enabler for 5G systems to support the expected use cases of vertical markets. In this context, we study the joint optimal deployment of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and allocation of computational…
Network slicing is a fundamental feature of 5G systems to partition a single network into a number of segregated logical networks, each optimized for a particular type of service, or dedicated to a particular customer or application. The…
When physical testbeds are out of reach for evaluating a networked system, we frequently turn to simulation. In today's datacenter networks, bottlenecks are rarely at the network protocol level, but instead in end-host software or hardware…
With the fast development of digital technologies, we are running into a digital world. The relationship among people and the connections among things become more and more complex, and new challenges arise. To tackle these challenges,…
We present an architecture for the provision of video Content Delivery Network (CDN) functionality as a service over a multi-domain cloud. We introduce the concept of a CDN slice, that is, a CDN service instance which is created upon a…
Cloud computing has been attracting the attention of several researchers both in the academia and the industry as it provides many opportunities for organizations by offering a range of computing services. For cloud computing to become…
A pivotal attribute of 5G networks is their capability to cater to diverse application requirements. This is achieved by creating logically isolated virtual networks, or slices, with distinct service level agreements (SLAs) tailored to…
Network slicing, a cornerstone technology for future networks, enables the creation of customized virtual networks on a shared physical infrastructure. This fosters innovation and agility by providing dedicated resources tailored to…
Network Slicing (NS) is expected to be a key functionality of the upcoming 5G systems. Coupled with Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV),NS will enable a flexible deployment of Network Functions…
