Serverless computing is an approach to cloud computing that allows programmers to run serverless functions in response to external events. Serverless functions are priced at sub-second granularity, support transparent elasticity, and…

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are new paradigms in the move towards open software and network hardware. While NFV aims to virtualize network functions and deploy them into general purpose…

Serverless computing (also known as functions as a service) is a new cloud computing abstraction that makes it easier to write robust, large-scale web services. In serverless computing, programmers write what are called serverless…

Service Function Chaining (SFC) is a networking technique that ensures traffic traverses a predefined sequence of service functions, realizing arbitrary network services through dynamic and efficient communication paths. Inspired by this…

A swarm algorithm framework (SWAF), realized by agent-based modeling, is presented to solve numerical optimization problems. Each agent is a bare bones cognitive architecture, which learns knowledge by appropriately deploying a set of…

This study explores the concept of functional equivalence within the framework of the Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System (NARS), specifically through OpenNARS for Applications (ONA). Functional equivalence allows organisms to categorize and…

The serverless computing ecosystem is growing due to interest by software engineers. Beside Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) systems, developer-oriented tools such as deployment and debugging frameworks as well…

Mobile core networks handle critical control functions for delivering services in modern cellular networks. Traditional point-to-point architectures, where network functions are directly connected through standardized interfaces, are being…

The licas (lightweight Internet-based communication for autonomic services) system is a Java-based open source framework for building service-based networks, similar to what you would use a Cloud or SOA platform for. The framework comes…

Serverless computing, or Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), enables a new way of building and scaling applications by allowing users to deploy fine-grained functions while providing fully-managed resource provisioning and auto-scaling. Custom…

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) has recently emerged to reduce the deployment cost of running cloud applications compared to Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). FaaS follows a serverless 'pay-as-you-go' computing model; it comes at a higher…

Most softwarized telco services are conveniently framed as Service Function Chains (SFCs). Indeed, being structured as a combination of interconnected nodes, service chains may suffer from the single point of failure problem, meaning that…

Reliable and trustworthy evaluation of algorithms is a challenging process. Firstly, each algorithm has its strengths and weaknesses, and the selection of test instances can significantly influence the assessment process. Secondly, the…

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) has raised a growing interest in how to "tame" serverless computing to enable domain-specific use cases such as data-intensive applications and machine learning (ML), to name a few. Recently, several systems…

In this paper, we consider the use of UAVs to provide wireless connectivity services, for example after failures of wireless network components or to simply provide additional bandwidth on demand, and introduce the concept of UAVs as a…

Serverless computing is a widely adopted cloud execution model composed of Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) offerings. The increased level of abstraction makes vendor lock-in inherent to serverless computing,…

AI is increasingly being offered 'as a service' (AIaaS). This entails service providers offering customers access to pre-built AI models and services, for tasks such as object recognition, text translation, text-to-voice conversion, and…

The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions the creation of an environment where everyday objects (e.g. microwaves, fridges, cars, coffee machines, etc.) are connected to the internet and make users' lives more productive, efficient, and…

Due to the continuously changing environment of service-based applications (SBAs), the ability to adapt to environmental and contextual changes has become a crucial characteristic of such applications. Providing SBAs with this ability is a…

Many research questions can be answered quickly and efficiently using data already collected for previous research. This practice is called secondary data analysis (SDA), and has gained popularity due to lower costs and improved research…
