With the introduction of various hardware/software technologies such as Cloud Technologies or Virtualization technologies, there has been a great potential to reuse ICT artifacts thanks to Abstraction and also Exchangeability features…

Centralized Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) when used in distributed systems have performance constraints as all traffic must traverse through a central server. In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift towards the use of P2P in VPNs…

As Communication Service Providers (CSPs) adopt the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm, they need to transition their network function capacity to a virtualized infrastructure with different Network Functions running on a set of…

In-network caching is recognized as an effective solution to offload content servers and the network. A cache service provider (SP) always has incentives to better utilize its cache resources by taking into account diverse roles that…

Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks such as BitTorrent and Avalanche are increasingly used for disseminating potentially large files from a server to many end users via the Internet. The key idea is to divide the file into many…

Top-tier parallel computing clusters continue to accumulate more and more computational power with more and better CPUs and Networks. This allows, especially for environmental simulations, computations with larger domain sizes and better…

Network protocols have historically been developed on an ad-hoc basis, and cloud computing is no exception. A fundamental management protocol, not yet standardized, that cloud providers need to run to support wide-area virtual network…

Several high-throughput distributed data-processing applications require multi-hop processing of streams of data. These applications include continual processing on data streams originating from a network of sensors, composing a multimedia…

The rapid integration of vector search into AI applications, particularly for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), has catalyzed the emergence of a diverse ecosystem of specialized vector databases. While this innovation offers a rich…

In order to better accommodate the dramatically increasing demand for data caching and computing services, storage and computation capabilities should be endowed to some of the intermediate nodes within the network. In this paper, we design…

Hybrid IP networks that use both control paradigms - distributed and centralized - promise the best of two worlds: programmability and agility of SDN, and reliability and fault tolerance of distributed routing protocols like OSPF. The…

Thanks to its computational and forwarding capabilities, the mobile network infrastructure can support several third-party ("vertical") services, each composed of a graph of virtual (network) functions (VNFs). Importantly, one or more VNFs…

Distributed Virtual Private Networks (dVPNs) are new VPN solutions aiming to solve the trust-privacy concern of a VPN's central authority by leveraging a distributed architecture. In this paper, we first review the existing dVPN ecosystem…

Current serverless offerings give users a limited degree of flexibility for configuring the resources allocated to their function invocations by either coupling memory and CPU resources together or providing no knobs at all. These…

In this report, we aim at the development of a decentralized abstraction framework for multi-agent systems under coupled constraints, with the possibility for a varying degree of decentralization. The methodology is based on the analysis…

In this paper, we consider networks with topologies described by some connected undirected graph ${\mathcal{G}}=(V, E)$ and with some agents (fusion centers) equipped with processing power and local peer-to-peer communication, and…

Software Defined Networks has seen tremendous growth and deployment in different types of networks. Compared to traditional networks it decouples the control logic from network layer devices, and centralizes it for efficient traffic…

Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions are used to connect private networks securely over the Internet. Besides their benefits in corporate environments, VPNs are also marketed to privacy-minded users to preserve their privacy, and to…

The electric power distribution network (PDN) and the transportation network (TN) are generally operated/coordinated by different entities. However, they are coupled with each other due to electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs). This…

Virtual topologies in peer-to-peer networks can reduce the traffic consumed by altering the logical connectivity of peers without altering the underlying network. However, such sparsely connected virtual topologies do not focus on the needs…
