In recent years, Deep Reinforcement Learning has made impressive advances in solving several important benchmark problems for sequential decision making. Many control applications use a generic multilayer perceptron (MLP) for non-vision…
Many communities have researched the application of novel network architectures such as Content-Centric Networking (CCN) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) to build the future Internet. Another emerging technology which is big data…
In this work, a new region-based, multipath-enabled packet routing is presented and called SmartPacket Routing. The proposed approach provides several opportunities to re-distribute the smartness and decision making among various elements…
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has transformed network architectures by decoupling the control and data-planes, enabling fine-grained control over packet processing and forwarding. P4, a language designed for programming data-plane…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) brings numbers of advantages along with many challenges. One particular concern is on the control-plane resilience, while the existing protection approaches proposed for SDN networks mainly focus on…
Datacenters of today have maintained the same architecture for decades using the server as the primary building block. However, this traditional approach suffers from under-utilization of its resources, often caused by over-allocating these…
Software-defined networking (SDN) enables advanced operation and management of network deployments through (virtually) centralised, programmable controllers, which deploy network functionality by installing rules in the flow tables of…
SDN and NFV have recently changed the way we operate networks. By decoupling control and data plane operations and virtualising their components, they have opened up new frontiers towards reducing network ownership costs and improving…
Software defined networking (SDN) has been adopted to enforce the security of large-scale and complex networks because of its programmable, abstract, centralized intelligent control and global and real-time traffic view. However, the…
Small cells are a cost-effective way to reliably expand network coverage and provide significantly increased capacity for end users. The ultra-high bandwidth available at millimeter (mmWave) and Terahertz (THz) frequencies can effectively…
Power packets are proposed as a transmission unit that can deliver power and information simultaneously. They are transferred using the store-and-forward method of power routers. A system that achieves power supply/demand in this manner is…
In this paper, we propose a distributed OpenFlow controller and an associated coordination framework that achieves scalability and reliability even under heavy data center loads. The proposed framework, which is designed to work with all…
Hardware disaggregation seeks to transform Data Center (DC) resources from traditional server fleets into unified resource pools. Despite existing challenges that may hinder its full realization, significant progress has been made in both…
Modern In-Vehicle Networks (IVNs) are composed of a large number of devices and services linked via an Ethernet-based time-sensitive network. Communication in future IVNs will become more dynamic as services can be updated, added, or…
In a reliable SDN environment, different controllers coordinate different switches and backup controllers can be set in place to tolerate faults. This approach increases the challenge to maintain a consistent network view. If this global…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has become a new paradigm in computer networking, introducing a decoupled architecture that separates the network into the data plane and the control plane. The control plane acts as the centralized brain,…
Constraint programming is a general and exact method based on constraint propagation and backtracking search. We provide a function decomposing a constraint network into a ternary constraint network (TCN) with a reduced number of operators.…
As organizations increasingly transition from monolithic systems to microservices, they aim to achieve higher availability, automatic scaling, simplified infrastructure management, enhanced collaboration, and streamlined deployments.…
Orchestrating centralised service-oriented workflows presents significant scalability challenges that include: the consumption of network bandwidth, degradation of performance, and single points of failure. This paper presents a high-level…
A wide range of applications require or can benefit from collaborative behavior of a group of agents. The technical challenge addressed in this chapter is the development of a decentralized control strategy that enables each agent to…
