Virtual channel flow control is the de facto choice for modern networks-on-chip to allow better utilization of the link bandwidth through buffering and packet switching, which are also the sources of large power footprint and long per-hop…

Switching, routing, and security functions are the backbone of packet processing networks. Fast and efficient processing of packets requires maintaining the state of a large number of transient network connections. In particular, modern…

Network Virtualization (NV) is an emerging network dynamic planning technique to overcome network rigidity. As its necessary challenge, Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) enhances the scalability and flexibility of the network by decoupling…

We study probabilistic protocols for concurrent threshold-based load balancing in networks. There are n resources or machines represented by nodes in an undirected graph and m >> n users that try to find an acceptable resource by moving…

In the management of computer network systems, the service function chaining (SFC) modules play an important role by generating efficient paths for network traffic through physical servers with virtualized network functions (VNF). To…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) platforms consume significant energy, introducing high operational costs in edge and data centers. This paper presents a novel framework called GreenNFV that optimizes resource usage for network…

Network function virtualization (NFV) is an emerging design paradigm that replaces physical middlebox devices with software modules running on general purpose commodity servers. While gradually transitioning to NFV, Internet service…

Many real-world applications operate on dynamic graphs that undergo rapid changes in their topological structure over time. However, it is challenging to design dynamic algorithms that are capable of supporting such graph changes…

Deploying IoT-enabled Virtual Network Function (VNF) chains to Cloud-Edge infrastructures requires determining a placement for each VNF that satisfies all set deployment requirements as well as a software-defined routing of traffic flows…

With the emergence of network function virtualization (NFV), and software-defined networking (SDN), the realization and implementation of service function chains (SFCs) have become much easier. An SFC is an ordered set of interconnected…

6G, the next generation of mobile networks, is set to offer even higher data rates, ultra-reliability, and lower latency than 5G. New 6G services will increase the load and dynamism of the network. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) aids…

We investigate the training of sparse layers that use different parameters for different inputs based on hashing in large Transformer models. Specifically, we modify the feedforward layer to hash to different sets of weights depending on…

With the growing demand for openness, scalability, and granularity, mobile network function virtualization (NFV) has emerged as a key enabler for most mobile network operators. NFV decouples network functions from hardware devices. This…

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…

Stream processing applications extract value from raw data through Directed Acyclic Graphs of data analysis tasks. Shared-nothing (SN) parallelism is the de-facto standard to scale stream processing applications. Given an application, SN…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) provides higher flexibility for network operators and reduces the complexity in network service deployment. Using NFV, Virtual Network Functions (VNF) can be located in various network nodes and chained…

We explore Multi-Head FFN (MH-FFN) as a replacement of FFN in the Transformer architecture, motivated by the structural similarity between single-head attention and FFN. While multi-head mechanisms enhance expressivity in attention, naively…

We propose a novel architecture for graph-based dependency parsing that explicitly constructs vectors, from which both arcs and labels are scored. Our method addresses key limitations of the standard two-pipeline approach by unifying arc…

Service Function Chain (SFC) provisioning stands as a pivotal technology in the realm of 5G and future networks. Its essence lies in orchestrating VNFs (Virtual Network Functions) in a specified sequence for different types of SFC requests.…

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…
