The placement of Cloud-Native Network Functions across the Cloud-Continuum represents a core challenge in the orchestration of current 5G and future 6G networks. The process entails the implementation of interdependent computing tasks,…

Redistribution mechanisms have been proposed for more efficient resource allocation but not for profit. We consider redistribution mechanism design in a setting where participants are connected and the resource owner is only connected to…

In-network caching is recognized as an effective solution to offload content servers and the network. A cache service provider (SP) always has incentives to better utilize its cache resources by taking into account diverse roles that…

Virtual Network Functions as a Service (VNFaaS) is currently under attentive study by telecommunications and cloud stakeholders as a promising business and technical direction consisting of providing network functions as a service on a…

We consider in this work Edge Computing (EC) in a multi-tenant environment: the resource owner, i.e., the Network Operator (NO), virtualizes the resources and lets third party Service Providers (SPs - tenants) run their services, which can…

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) allows flexibility, scalability, agility, and easy manageability of networks by leveraging the features of virtualization and cloud computing technologies. However, softwarization of network functions…

As mobile network users look forward to the connectivity speeds of 5G networks, service providers are facing challenges in complying with connectivity demands without substantial financial investments. Network Function Virtualization (NFV)…

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…

In-network caching is one of the fundamental operations of Information-centric networks (ICN). The default caching strategy taken by most of the current ICN proposals is caching along--default--path, which makes popular objects to be cached…

With the exponential growth of the amount of data available on the Internet, optimizing the response time and resource usage for data access becomes essential. Caches are an effective solution that brings data closer to clients, eliminating…

Motivated by the huge disparity between the limited battery capacity of user devices and the ever-growing energy demands of modern mobile apps, we propose INFv. It is the first offloading system able to cache, migrate and dynamically…

Neural networks have shown state-of-the-art performance in designing auctions, where the network learns the optimal allocations and payment rule to ensure desirable properties. Motivated by the same, we focus on learning fair division of…

In grid networks, distributed resources are interconnected by wide area network to support compute and data-intensive applications, which require reliable and efficient transfer of gigabits (even terabits) of data. Different from…

Network virtualization allows one to build dynamic distributed systems in which resources can be dynamically allocated at locations where they are most useful. In order to fully exploit the benefits of this new technology, protocols need to…

Virtualization technology facilitates a dynamic, demand-driven allocation and migration of servers. This paper studies how the flexibility offered by network virtualization can be used to improve Quality-of-Service parameters such as…

We consider the problem of dividing limited resources to individuals arriving over $T$ rounds. Each round has a random number of individuals arrive, and individuals can be characterized by their type (i.e. preferences over the different…

A current trend in networking and cloud computing is to provide compute resources over widely dispersed places exemplified by initiatives like Network Function Virtualisation. This paves the way for a widespread service deployment and can…

Network function virtualization (NFV) enables on-demand network function (NF) deployment providing agile and dynamic network services. Through an evaluation metric that quantifies the minimal reliability among all NFs for all demands,…

Resource-disaggregated data centre architectures promise a means of pooling resources remotely within data centres, allowing for both more flexibility and resource efficiency underlying the increasingly important infrastructure-as-a-service…

5G networks are going to support a variety of vertical services, with a diverse set of key performance indicators (KPIs), by using enabling technologies such as software-defined networking and network function virtualization. It is the…
