The technology of network slicing, as the most characteristic feature of the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks, manages the resources and network functions in heterogeneous and logically isolated slices on the top of a shared physical…
With the growing demand for dynamic real-time applications, online admission control for time-critical event-triggered (ET) traffic in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) has become a critical challenge. The main issue lies in dynamically…
Deploying services efficiently while satisfying their quality requirements is a major challenge in network slicing. Effective solutions place instances of the services' virtual network functions (VNFs) at different locations of the cellular…
In this paper, we consider the network slicing problem which attempts to map multiple customized virtual network requests (also called services) to a common shared network infrastructure and allocate network resources to meet diverse…
Recently released 5G networks empower the novel Network Slicing concept. %which enables novel business models; Network slicing introduces new business models such as allowing telecom providers to lease a virtualized slice of their…
We consider online resource allocation problems where given a set of requests our goal is to select a subset that maximizes a value minus cost type of objective function. Requests are presented online in random order, and each request…
Network virtualization has become a fundamental technology to deliver services for emerging data-intensive applications in fields such as bioinformatics and retail analytics hosted at multi-data center scales. To create and maintain a…
Admission control is an effective solution to managing a wireless network with a large user set. It dynamically rejects users in bad conditions, and thereby guarantees high quality-of-service (QoS) for the others. Unfortunately, a…
With the rapid development of power distribution systems (PDSs), the number of terminal devices and the types of delivered services involved are constantly growing. These trends make the operations of PDSs highly dependent on the support of…
Cloud computing providers face the problem of matching heterogeneous customer workloads to resources that will serve them. This is particularly challenging if customers, who are already running a job on a cluster, scale their resource usage…
Isolation is one of the more relevant attributes associated to the idea of network slicing, introduced by 5G services. Through isolation it is expected that slices from different customers could gracefully coexist without interfering each…
Use-case-specific network slicing in decentralized multi-tenancy cloud environments is a promising approach to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of resources in next-generation communication networks. Our findings associate…
Admission control is a key component in multimedia servers, which will allow the resources to be used by the client only when they are available. A problem faced by numerous content serving machines is overload, when there are too many…
This paper presents an approach to joint wireless and computing resource management in slice-enabled metaverse networks, addressing the challenges of inter-slice and intra-slice resource allocation in the presence of in-network computing.…
Semi-online algorithms that are allowed to perform a bounded amount of repacking achieve guaranteed good worst-case behaviour in a more realistic setting. Most of the previous works focused on minimization problems that aim to minimize some…
Streaming computation plays an important role in large-scale data analysis. The sliding window model is a model of streaming computation which also captures the recency of the data. In this model, data arrives one item at a time, but only…
The SDN and NFV paradigms enable novel network services which can be realized and embedded in a flexible and rapid manner. For example, SDN can be used to flexibly steer traffic from a source to a destination through a sequence of…
The 5th generation (5G) and beyond network offers substantial promise as the ideal wireless technology to replace the existing inflexible wired connections in traditional factories of today. 5G network slicing allows for tailored allocation…
Future wireless networks are convinced to provide flexible and cost-efficient services via exploiting network slicing techniques. However, it is challenging to configure network slicing systems for bursty ultra-reliable and low latency…
Network slicing is one of the most critical 5G pillars. It allows for sharing a 5G infrastructure among different tenants leading to improved service customisation and increased operators' revenues. Concurrently, introducing the…
