This paper considers a general data-fitting problem over a networked system, in which many computing nodes are connected by an undirected graph. This kind of problem can find many real-world applications and has been studied extensively in…

Power delivery network (PDN) design is a nontrivial, time-intensive, and iterative task. Correct PDN design must account for considerations related to power bumps, currents, blockages, and signal congestion distribution patterns. This work…

The evolution of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has so far been predominantly geared towards defining and refining the abstractions on the forwarding and control planes. However, despite a maturing south-bound interface and a range of…

In the next generation network, the satellite network will play a fundamental role, in overcoming the limitation of the terrestrial network. Nonetheless, the satellite-terrestrial network integration presents a number of problems due to the…

Text-to-image synthesis aims to automatically generate images according to text descriptions given by users, which is a highly challenging task. The main issues of text-to-image synthesis lie in two gaps: the heterogeneous and homogeneous…

Mathematical optimization is ubiquitous in modern applications. However, in practice, we often need to use nonlinear optimization models, for which the existing optimization tools such as Cplex or Gurobi may not be directly applicable and…

In the future, it is anticipated that software-defined networking (SDN) will become the preferred platform for deploying diverse networks. Compared to traditional networks, SDN separates the control and data planes for efficient domain-wide…

Developing deep neural networks to generate 3D scenes is a fundamental problem in neural synthesis with immediate applications in architectural CAD, computer graphics, as well as in generating virtual robot training environments. This task…

The software defined networking paradigm relies on the programmability of the network to automatically perform management and reconfiguration tasks. The result of adopting this programmability feature is twofold: first by designing new…

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a networking paradigm that has become increasingly popular in the last decade. The unprecedented control over the global behavior of the network it provides opens a range of new opportunities for formal…

Software-defined networking is considered a promising new paradigm, enabling more reliable and formally verifiable communication networks. However, this paper shows that the separation of the control plane from the data plane, which lies at…

Given a multithreaded program written assuming a friendly, non-preemptive scheduler, the goal of synchronization synthesis is to automatically insert synchronization primitives to ensure that the modified program behaves correctly, even…

In software-defined networks (SDN), a controller program is in charge of deploying diverse network functionality across a large number of switches, but this comes at a great risk: deploying buggy controller code could result in network and…

Effective SDN control relies on the network data collecting capability as well as the quality and timeliness of the data. As open programmable data plane is becoming a reality, we further enhance it with the support of runtime interactive…

Networks are widely used in many fields for their powerful ability to provide vivid representations of relationships between variables. However, many of them may be corrupted by experimental noise or inappropriate network inference methods…

Software Defined Networks (SDN) decouple the forwarding and control planes from each other. The control plane is assumed to have a global knowledge of the underlying physical and/or logical network topology so that it can monitor, abstract…

Growing traffic demands and increasing security awareness are driving the need for secure services. Current solutions require manual configuration and deployment based on the customer's requirements. In this work, we present an architecture…

Given a set of interacting components with non-deterministic variable update and given safety requirements, the goal of priority synthesis is to restrict, by means of priorities, the set of possible interactions in such a way as to…

Enterprise networks are becoming increasingly complex, posing challenges for traditional WANs in terms of scalability, management, and operational costs. Software Defined Networking (SDN) and its application in Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN)…

Network hypervisors provide the network virtualization layer for Software Defined Networking (SDN). They enable virtual network (VN) tenants to bring their SDN controllers to program their logical networks individually according to their…
