As the share of Distributed energy resources (DER) in the low voltage distribution network (DN) is expected to rise, a higher and more variable electric load and generation could stress the DNs, leading to increased congestion and power…
This paper proposes an innovative end-to-end deterministic network mechanism to achieve delay-bounded transmissions across multiple network domains. The proposed mechanism installs discrete shapers at the edge of the network domains, which…
Software defined networks offer global visibility, yet centralized control loops are too slow for transient congestion and bursty traffic dynamics. Existing learned traffic control schemes often rely on offline training, making them fragile…
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a recent paradigm in telecommunication networks that disentangles data and control planes and brings more flexibility and efficiency to the network as a result. The Controller Placement (CP) problem in…
Message transmission and message synchronization for multicontroller interdomain routing in software-defined networking (SDN) have long adaptation times and slow convergence speeds, coupled with the shortcomings of traditional interdomain…
Software-defined networking (SDN) promises to improve the programmability and flexibility of networks, but it may bring also new challenges that need to be explored. The purpose of this technical report is to assess how the deployment of…
State synchronisation in clustered Software Defined Networking controller deployments ensures that all instances of the controller have the same state information in order to provide redundancy. Current implementations of controllers use a…
The concept of SCN offers a fast framework with universal approximation guarantee for lifelong learning of non-stationary data streams. Its adaptive scope selection property enables for proper random generation of hidden unit parameters…
In this paper we propose a new methodology for decision-making under uncertainty using recent advancements in the areas of nonlinear stochastic optimal control theory, applied mathematics, and machine learning. Grounded on the fundamental…
Modern tactical operations have complex communication and computing requirements, often involving different coalition teams, that cannot be supported by today's mobile ad hoc networks. To this end, the emerging Software Defined Networking…
This paper proposes a supervisory control structure for networked systems with time-varying delays. The control structure, in which a supervisor triggers the most appropriate controller from a multi-controller unit, aims at improving the…
This paper deals with the design of scheduling logics for Networked Control Systems (NCSs) whose communication networks have limited capacity. We assume that only a subset of the plants can communicate with their controllers at any time…
Most machine learning and deep neural network algorithms rely on certain iterative algorithms to optimise their utility/cost functions, e.g. Stochastic Gradient Descent. In distributed learning, the networked nodes have to work…
A monitor and control framework for quantum-key-distribution (QKD) networks equipped with switching capabilities was developed. On the one hand, this framework provides real-time visibility into operational metrics. Specifically, it…
This paper presents a stochastic, model predictive control (MPC) algorithm that leverages short-term probabilistic forecasts for dispatching and rebalancing Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand systems (AMoD, i.e. fleets of self-driving vehicles).…
Software-defined networking (SDN) based low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks leverage the SDN's benefits of the separation of data plane and control plane, control plane programmability, and centralized control to alleviate the problem…
Global optimization of access point (AP) assignment to user terminals requires efficient monitoring of user behavior, fast decision algorithms, efficient control signaling, and fast AP reassignment mechanisms. In this scenario, software…
In this work, we propose and experimentally assess the automatic and flexible NSs configurations of optical OPSquare DCN controlled and orchestrated by an extended SDN control plane for multi-tenant applications with differentiated QoS…
Software-defined networking (SDN) programs must simultaneously describe static forwarding behavior and dynamic updates in response to events. Event-driven updates are critical to get right, but difficult to implement correctly due to the…
It has been well established that wireless network coding can significantly improve the efficiency of multi-hop wireless networks. However, in a stochastic environment some of the packets might not have coding pairs, which limits the number…
