Software-Defined Networking (SDN) allows to control the available network resources by an intelligent and centralized authority in order to optimize traffic flows in a flexible manner. However, centralized control may face scalability…

To meet the timing requirements of interactive applications, the no-frills congestion-agnostic transport protocols like UDP are increasingly deployed side-by-side in the same network with congestion-responsive TCP. In cloud platforms, even…

Optimal sensor scheduling with applications to networked estimation and control systems is considered. We model sensor measurement and transmission instances using jumps between states of a continuous-time Markov chain. We introduce a cost…

As the Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm gains momentum, every network operator faces the obvious dilemma: when and how to migrate from existing IP routers to SDN compliant equipments. A single step complete overhaul of a fully…

This note proposes a distributed model predictive control (DMPC) scheme with switched cost functions for a class of spatially interconnected systems with communication constraints. Non-iterative and parallel communication strategy is…

Software-defined networking (SDN) allows operators to control the behavior of a network by programatically managing the forwarding rules installed on switches. However, as is common in distributed systems, it can be difficult to ensure that…

Software-defined networking (SDN) as a new paradigm for networking provides efficient resource reallocation platform in emerging cloud data center networks. The dynamic nature of cloud data center network's traffic, as well as the existence…

This paper studies stochastic aperiodic stabilization of a networked control system (NCS) consisting of a continuous-time plant and a discrete-time controller. The plant and the controller are assumed to be connected by communication…

Named Data Networking (NDN) offers promising advantages in deploying next-generation service applications over distributed computing networks. We consider the problem of dynamic orchestration over a NDN-based computing network, in which…

Software Defined Networks (SDN) decouple the forwarding and control planes from each other. The control plane is assumed to have a global knowledge of the underlying physical and/or logical network topology so that it can monitor, abstract…

Software Defined Networking has afforded numerous benefits to the network users but there are certain persisting issues with this technology, two of which are scalability and privacy. The natural solution to overcoming these limitations is…

Software-defined networks have been proposed as a viable solution to decrease the power consumption of the networking component in data center networks. Still the question remains on which scheduling algorithms are most suited to achieve…

We consider a dynamic server allocation problem over parallel queues with randomly varying connectivity and server switchover delay between the queues. At each time slot the server decides either to stay with the current queue or switch to…

Stochastic processing networks (SPNs) have broad applications in healthcare, transportation, and communication networks. The control of SPN is to dynamically assign servers in batches under uncertainty to optimize long-run performance. This…

This study presents optimization problems to jointly determine long-term network design, mid-term fleet sizing strategy, and short-term routing and ridesharing matching in shared autonomous vehicle (SAV) systems with pre-booked and…

Cooperative decision making is a vision of future network management and control. Distributed connection preemption is an important example where nodes can make intelligent decisions on allocating resources and controlling traffic flows for…

A stochastic Model Predictive Control strategy for control systems with communication networks between the sensor node and the controller and between the controller and the actuator node is proposed. Data packets are subject to random…

We consider the joint design of control and scheduling under stochastic Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks in the context of networked control systems. A sensor takes measurements of the system output and forwards its dynamic state estimates…

Traditional communication networks consist of large sets of vendor-specific manually configurable devices which are hardwired with specific control logic or algorithms. The resulting networks comprise distributed control plane architectures…

A distributed model predictive control scheme is developed for tracking piecewise constant references where the terminal set is reconfigured online, whereas the terminal controller is computed offline. Unlike many standard existing schemes,…
