Content delivery networks (CDNs) are the backbone of the Internet and are key in delivering high quality video on demand (VoD), web content and file services to billions of users. CDNs usually consist of hierarchically organized content…
Recent years have witnessed a new video delivery paradigm: smartrouter-based peer video content delivery network, which is enabled by smartrouters deployed at users' homes. ChinaCache (one of the largest CDN providers in China) and Youku (a…
Recent years with the popularity of mobile devices have witnessed an explosive growth of mobile multimedia contents which dominate more than 50\% of mobile data traffic. This significant growth poses a severe challenge for future cellular…
Due to the increasingly complex and interconnected nature of global supply chain networks (SCNs), a recent strand of research has applied network science methods to model SCN growth and subsequently analyse various topological features,…
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) naturally supports multi-path communication, as it allows the simultaneous use of multiple interfaces (e.g. LTE and WiFi). When multiple sources and multiple clients are considered, the optimal set of…
Community network (CN) initiatives have been around for roughly two decades, evangelizing a distinctly different paradigm for building, maintaining, and sharing network infrastructure but also defending the basic human right to Internet…
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a novel paradigm that out-sources the control of packet-forwarding switches to a set of software controllers. The most fundamental task of these controllers is the correct implementation of the…
The growing demand for data has driven the Service Providers (SPs) to provide differential treatment of traffic to generate additional revenue streams from Content Providers (CPs). While SPs currently only provide best-effort services to…
The service provided by content delivery networks (CDNs) may overlook content locality, leaving room for potential performance improvement. In this study, we explore the feasibility of leveraging generated data as a replacement for fetching…
Numerous systems for dissemination, retrieval, and archiving of documents have been developed in the past. Those systems often focus on one of these aspects and are hard to extend and combine. Typically, the transmission protocols, query…
We address the problem of content replication in large distributed content delivery networks, composed of a data center assisted by many small servers with limited capabilities and located at the edge of the network. The objective is to…
Content Placement (CP) problem in Cloud-based Content Delivery Networks (CCDNs) leverage resource elasticity to build cost effective CDNs that guarantee QoS. In this paper, we present our novel CP model, which optimally places content on…
Mobile online social network services have seen a rapid increase, in which the huge amount of user-generated social media contents propagating between users via social connections has significantly challenged the traditional content…
We consider models of content delivery networks in which the servers are constrained by two main resources: memory and bandwidth. In such systems, the throughput crucially depends on how contents are replicated across servers and how the…
Recent years have witnessed a new video delivery paradigm: smartrouter-based video delivery network, which is enabled by smartrouters deployed at users' homes, together with the conventional video servers deployed in the datacenters.…
In recent years, Decentralized Online Social Networks (DOSNs) have been attracting the attention of many users because they reduce the risk of censorship, surveillance, and information leakage from the service provider. In contrast to the…
Networks connecting distributed cloud services through multiple data centers are called cloud networks. These types of networks play a crucial role in cloud computing and a holistic performance evaluation is essential before planning a…
The evolution of software defined networking (SDN) has played a significant role in the development of next-generation networks (NGN). SDN as a programmable network having service provisioning on the fly has induced a keen interest both in…
In P2P systems, large volumes of data are declustered naturally across a large number of peers. But it is very difficult to control the initial data distribution because every user has the freedom to share any data with other users. The…
We consider a sharing economy network where agents embedded in a graph share their resources. This is a fundamental model that abstracts numerous emerging applications of collaborative consumption systems. The agents generate a random…
