Nowadays, most telecommunication services adhere to the Service Function Chain (SFC) paradigm, where network functions are implemented via software. In particular, container virtualization is becoming a popular approach to deploy network…
The Ethereum protocol implements a replicated state machine. The network participants keep track of the system state by: 1) agreeing on the sequence of transactions to be processed and 2) computing the state transitions that correspond to…
Notwithstanding the significant research effort Network Function Virtualization (NFV) architectures received over the last few years little attention has been placed on optimizing proactive caching when considering it as a service chain.…
Emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies promise memory speed byte-addressable persistent storage with a load/store interface. However, programming applications to directly manipulate NVM data is complex and error-prone. Applications…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has recently received significant attention as an innovative way of deploying network services. By decoupling network functions from the physical equipment on which they run, NFV has been proposed as…
Applications are sets of interacting components that can be executed in sequence, in parallel, or by using more complex constructs such as selections and loops. They can, therefore, be modeled as structured graphs with sub-structures…
The Tactile Internet (TI) is one of the next generation wireless network services with end to end (E2E) delay as low as 1~ms. Since this ultra low E2E delay cannot be met in the current 4G network architecture, it is necessary to…
Transaction processing systems are the crux for modern data-center applications, yet current multi-node systems are slow due to network overheads. This paper advocates for Compute Express Link (CXL) as a network alternative, which enables…
Digital Twin (DT) is a prominent technology to utilise and deploy within the healthcare sector. Yet, the main challenges facing such applications are: Strict health data-sharing policies, high-performance network requirements, and possible…
The Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) advent is making way for the rapid deployment of network services (NS) for telecoms. Automation of network service management is one of the main challenges currently faced by the NFV community.…
Nowadays, more and more video transmissions primarily aim at downstream machine vision tasks rather than humans. While widely deployed Human Visual System (HVS) oriented video coding standards like H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC are efficient,…
Network virtualization enables Internet service providers to run multiple heterogeneous and dedicated network architectures for different customers on a shared substrate. In existing works on virtual network embedding (VNE), each customer…
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…
The successful OpenFlow approach to Software Defined Networking (SDN) allows network programmability through a central controller able to orchestrate a set of dumb switches. However, the simple match/action abstraction of OpenFlow switches…
Deep neural network (DNN) inference is increasingly being executed on mobile and embedded platforms due to several key advantages in latency, privacy and always-on availability. However, due to limited computing resources, efficient DNN…
Networked control systems (NCSs) are an example of task-oriented communication systems, where the purpose of communication is real-time control of processes over a network. In the context of NCSs, with the processes sending their state…
A promising area of application for Network Function Virtualization is in network security, where chains of Virtual Security Network Functions (VSNFs), i.e., security-specific virtual functions such as firewalls or Intrusion Prevention…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) takes advantage of hardware virtualization to undertake software processing for various functions, and complements the drawbacks of traditional network technology. To speed up NFV related research, we…
In a reliable SDN environment, different controllers coordinate different switches and backup controllers can be set in place to tolerate faults. This approach increases the challenge to maintain a consistent network view. If this global…
Low-speed internet can negatively affect incident response in a number of ways, including decreased teamwork, delayed detection, inefficient action, and elevated risk. Delayed data acquisition and processing may result from inadequate…
