The computing in the network (COIN) paradigm has emerged as a potential solution for computation-intensive applications like the metaverse by utilizing unused network resources. The blockchain (BC) guarantees task-offloading privacy, but…

The rise of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has transformed network infrastructures by replacing fixed hardware with software-based Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs), enabling greater agility, scalability, and cost efficiency.…

Virtualization of network functions (as virtual routers, virtual firewalls, etc.) enables network owners to efficiently respond to the increasing dynamicity of network services. Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) are easy to deploy, update,…

Cloud infrastructure users often allocate a fixed number of nodes to individual container clusters (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift), resulting in underutilization of computing resources due to asynchronous and variable workload peaks across…

We study the multi-resource allocation problem in cloud computing systems where the resource pool is constructed from a large number of heterogeneous servers, representing different points in the configuration space of resources such as…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) enables service providers to maximize the business profit via resource-efficient QoS provisioning for customer requested Service Function Chains (SFCs). In recent applications, end-to-end delay is one…

In this paper, we study the virtual network function (VNF) placement problem in mobile edge computing (MEC)-enabled 5G networks to meet the stringent reliability and latency requirements of uRLLC applications. We pose it as a constrained…

Network functions virtualization (NFV) is an appealing vision that promises to dramatically reduce capital and operating expenses for cellular providers. However, existing efforts in this space leave open broad issues about how NFV…

With the growing adoption of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), large-scale NFV infrastructure deployments are gaining momentum. Such infrastructures are home to thousands of network Service…

In Cloud Computing, the tenants opting for the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) send the resource requirements to the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) in the form of Virtual Network (VN) consisting of a set of inter-connected Virtual Machines…

Network cache allocation and management are important aspects of the design of an Information-Centric Network (ICN), such as one based on Named Data Networking (NDN). We address the problem of optimal cache size allocation and content…

Resource sharing is a crucial part of a multi-robot system. We propose a Boolean satisfiability based approach to resource sharing. Our key contributions are an algorithm for converting any constrained assignment to a weighted-SAT based…

As the volume of the RDF data becomes increasingly large, it is essential for us to design a distributed database system to manage it. For distributed RDF data design, it is quite common to partition the RDF data into some parts, called…

Cloud computing providers are now offering their unused resources for leasing in the spot market, which has been considered the first step towards a full-fledged market economy for computational resources. Spot instances are virtual…

Optimal placement of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in virtualized data centers enhances the overall performance of Service Function Chains (SFCs) and decreases the operational costs for mobile network operators. Maintaining an optimal…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) aims to simplify deployment of network services by running Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on commercial off-the-shelf servers. Service deployment involves placement of VNFs and in-sequence routing of…

One of the main goals of 5G networks is to support the technological and business needs of various industries (the so-called verticals), which wish to offer to their customers a wide range of services characterized by diverse performance…

We consider allocation problems that arise in the context of service allocation in Clouds. More specifically, we assume on the one part that each computing resource is associated to a capacity constraint, that can be chosen using Dynamic…

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) deliver content (e.g. Web pages, videos) to geographically distributed end-users over the Internet. Some contents do sometimes attract the attention of a large group of end-users. This often leads to flash…

We study the allocation strategies for redundant components in the load-sharing series/parallel systems. We show that under the specified assumptions, the allocation of a redundant component to the stochastically weakest (strongest)…
