In this paper, we address the resource provisioning problem for service function chaining (SFC) in terms of the placement and chaining of virtual network functions (VNFs) within a multi-access edge computing (MEC) infrastructure to reduce…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) aims to abstract the functionality of traditional proprietary hardware into software as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), which can run on commercial off the shelf (COTS) servers. Besides reducing…

With the rise of machine learning, inference on deep neural networks (DNNs) has become a core building block on the critical path for many cloud applications. Applications today rely on isolated ad-hoc deployments that force users to…

Multi-tenant cloud computing provides great benefits in terms of resource sharing, elastic pricing, and scalability, however, it also changes the security landscape and introduces the need for strong isolation between the tenants, also…

The emerging paradigm of network function virtualization advocates deploying virtualized network functions (VNF) on standard virtualization platforms for significant cost reduction and management flexibility. There have been system designs…

Virtual network functions (VNFs) have been widely deployed in mobile edge computing (MEC) to flexibly and efficiently serve end users running resource-intensive applications, which can be further serialized to form service function chains…

Nowadays, while the demand for capacity continues to expand, the blossoming of Internet of Everything is bringing in a paradigm shift to new perceptions of communication networks, ushering in a plethora of totally unique services. To…

Thanks to its computational and forwarding capabilities, the mobile network infrastructure can support several third-party ("vertical") services, each composed of a graph of virtual (network) functions (VNFs). Importantly, one or more VNFs…

Cloud computing has been emerged in the last decade to enable utility-based computing resource management without purchasing hardware equipment. Cloud providers run multiple data centers in various locations to manage and provision the…

The Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm is enabling flexibility, programmability and implementation of traditional network functions into generic hardware, in form of the so-called Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). Today, cloud…

The proliferation of mission-critical latency-sensitive services has intensified the demand for next-generation cloud-integrated networks to guarantee both reliable and resilient service delivery. While reliability imposes timely-throughput…

In Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) networks, users covered by a mobile network can exploit edge clouds (ECs), computational resources located at the network's edge, to execute virtual network functions (VNFs). ECs are particularly useful…

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) play crucial roles in 5G networks for dynamically provisioning diverse communication services with heterogeneous service requirements. In particular, while NFV…

Datacenters are witnessing a rapid surge in the adoption of serverless functions for microservices-based applications. A vast majority of these microservices typically span less than a second, have strict SLO requirements, and are chained…

The virtualization of compute and network resources enables an unseen flexibility for deploying network services. A wide spectrum of emerging technologies allows an ever-growing range of orchestration possibilities in cloud-based…

Given the indispensable need for a reliable network architecture to cope with 5G networks, 3GPP introduced a covet technology dubbed 5G Service Based Architecture (5G-SBA). Meanwhile, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) combined with SBA…

With a wide deployment of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) in the Fifth Generation (5G) mobile networks, virtual network functions (VNF) can be flexibly migrated between difference locations, and therewith significantly enhances the…

Network management on multi-tenant container-based data centers has critical impact on performance. Tenants encapsulate applications in containers abstracting away details on hosting infrastructures, and entrust data centers management…

Software as a Service cloud computing model favorites the Multi-Tenancy as a key factor to exploit economies of scale. However Multi-Tenancy present several disadvantages. Therein, our approach comes to assign instances to multi-tenants…

Cache-aided content delivery is studied in a multi-server system with $P$ servers and $K$ users, each equipped with a local cache memory. In the delivery phase, each user connects randomly to any $\rho$ out of $P$ servers. Thanks to the…
