Synchronization is the Achilles heel of concurrent programs. Synchronization requirement is often used to ensure that the execution of the concurrent program can be serialized. Without synchronization requirement, a program suffers from…

Virtualization enables the sharing of a same wireless sensor network (WSN) by multiple applications. However, in heterogeneous environments, virtualized wireless sensor networks (VWSN) raises new challenges such as the need for on-the-fly,…

Due to the intrinsically inefficient service provisioning in traditional networks, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) keeps gaining attention from both industry and academia. By replacing the purpose-built, expensive, proprietary network…

In this paper, we focus on the implementation of distributed programs in using a key-value store where the state of the nodes is stored in a replicated and partitioned data store to improve performance and reliability. Applications of such…

Migration and replication of virtual network functions (VNFs) are well-known mechanisms to face dynamic resource requests in Internet Service Provider (ISP) edge networks. They are not only used to reallocate resources in carrier networks,…

Networked control systems (NCS) have attracted considerable attention in recent years. While the stabilizability and optimal control of NCS for a given communication system has already been studied extensively, the design of the…

There is anecdotal evidence that attackers use reconnaissance to learn the capacity of their victims before DDoS attacks to maximize their impact. The first step to mitigate capacity reconnaissance attacks is to understand their…

Next-generation networks, based on SDN and NFV, are expected to support a wide array of services, including vehicular safety applications. These services come with strict delay constraints, and our goal in this paper is to ascertain to…

Multi-tenant cloud networks have various security and monitoring service functions (SFs) that constitute a service function chain (SFC) between two endpoints. SF rule ordering overlaps and policy conflicts can cause increased latency,…

Cloud computing is a revolutionary process that has impacted the manner of using networks. It allows a high level of flexibility as Virtual Machines (VMs) run elastically workloads on physical machines in data centers. The issue of placing…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV), network slicing, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are the key enablers of the fifth generation of mobile networks (5G). Service Function Chaining (SFC) plays a critical role in delivering…

Many of the key enabling technologies of the fifth-generation (5G), such as network slicing, spectrum sharing, and federated learning, rely on a centralized authority. This may lead to pitfalls in terms of security or single point of…

With the dynamic demands and stringent requirements of various applications, networks need to be high-performance, scalable, and adaptive to changes. Researchers and industries view network softwarization as the best enabler for the…

Network reconfiguration (NR) has attracted much attention due to its ability to convert conventional distribution networks (DNs) into self-healing grids. This paper proposes a new strategy for real-time voltage regulation (VR) in a…

Virtualization technology, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), gives flexibility to communication and 5G core network technologies for dynamic and efficient resource allocation while reducing the cost and dependability of the physical…

Continuous variables (CV) offer a promising platform for the development of various applications, such as quantum communication, computing, and sensing, and CV graph states represent a family of powerful entangled resource states for all…

Network Function (NF) deployments on commodity servers have become ubiquitous in datacenters and enterprise settings. Many commonly used NFs such as firewalls, load balancers and NATs are shallow - i.e., they only examine the packet's…

This work proposes a new algorithm to mitigate model generalization loss in Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) operating under client reliability constraints within 5G Core Networks (CNs). Recently studied and endorsed by 3GPP, VFL enables…
