Network Coding (NC) shows great potential in various communication scenarios through changing the packet forwarding principles of current networks. It can improve not only throughput, latency, reliability and security but also alleviates…
With the development of Internet technology, the Web is becoming more and more important in our lives so that it has even become an essential element. The application of the Web has never been limited to computers; it has been opened to all…
Networks are designed with functionality, security, performance, and cost in mind. Tools exist to check or optimize individual properties of a network. These properties may conflict, so it is not always possible to run these tools in series…
Many complex systems are organized in the form of a network embedded in space. Important examples include the physical Internet infrastucture, road networks, flight connections, brain functional networks and social networks. The effect of…
Prior to the advent of the cloud, storage and processing services were accommodated by specialized hardware, however, this approach introduced a number of challenges in terms of scalability, energy efficiency, and cost. Then came the…
In recent years, the current Internet has experienced an unexpected paradigm shift in the usage model, which has pushed researchers towards the design of the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm as a possible replacement of the…
5G led to a digital revolution for networks by leveraging virtualisation techniques to manage software-based network functions through provided standard interfaces, which have matured recently for cloud infrastructure that is widely…
Edge computing has emerged as a paradigm to bring low-latency and bandwidth-intensive applications close to end-users. However, edge computing platforms still face challenges related to resource constraints, connectivity, and security. We…
Over the last decade, the rise of the mobile internet and the usage of mobile devices has enabled ubiquitous traffic information. With the increased adoption of specific smartphone applications, the number of users of routing applications…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a programmable approach for provisioning and managing network resources by defining a clear separation between the control and data forwarding planes. Nowadays SDN has gained significant…
Over the years, the Internet has been enriched with new available communication technologies, for both fixed and mobile networks and devices, exhibiting an impressive growth in terms of performance, with steadily increasing available data…
While the current generation of mobile and fixed communication networks has been standardized for mobile broadband services, the next generation is driven by the vision of the Internet of Things and mission critical communication services…
The stack in various forms has been widely used as an architectural template for networking systems. Recently the stack has been subject to criticism for a lack of flexibility. However, when it comes right down to it nobody has offered a…
We consider a task of serving requests that arrive in an online fashion in Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) with network function virtualization (NFV). Each request specifies an abstract routing and processing "plan" for a flow. Each…
Because most technology and computer architecture innovations were (intentionally) invisible to higher layers, application and other software developers could reap the benefits of this progress without engaging in it. Higher performance has…
The Internet is inherently a multipath network---for an underlying network with only a single path connecting various nodes would have been debilitatingly fragile. Unfortunately, traditional Internet technologies have been designed around…
The field of Web services is an important paradigm in distributed application development. Currently, many businesses are seeking to convert their applications into web services because of its ability to promote inter-operability among…
The heterogeneous and distributed nature of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the need for extremely fast and fine-grained service provisioning in 5/5+G architectures and beyond. To meet these needs, it is critical to enable efficient…
The physical topology is emerging as the next frontier in an ongoing effort to render communication networks more flexible. While first empirical results indicate that these flexibilities can be exploited to reconfigure and optimize the…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been recently introduced as a new communication paradigm in computer networks. By separating the control plane from the data plane and entrusting packet forwarding to straightforward switches, SDN makes…
