Network services are increasingly managed by considering chained-up virtual network functions and relevant traffic flows, known as the Service Function Chains (SFCs). To deal with sequential arrivals of SFCs in an online fashion, we must…

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) as an emerging paradigm utilizing cloudlet or fog nodes to extend remote cloud computing to the edge of the network, is foreseen as a key technology towards next generation wireless networks. By offloading…

This paper explores concurrent FL processes within a three-tier system, with edge servers between edge devices and FL servers. A challenge in this setup is the limited bandwidth from edge devices to edge servers. Thus, allocating the…

We study the problem of optimal content placement over a network of caches, a problem naturally arising in several networking applications, including ICNs, CDNs, and P2P systems. Given a demand of content request rates and paths followed,…

The reliance of organisations on computer networks is enabled by network programmability, which is typically achieved through Service Function Chaining. These chains virtualise network functions, link them, and programmatically embed them…

With the widespread adoption of 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, the low latency provided by edge computing has great importance for real-time processing. However, managing numerous simultaneous service requests poses a…

Problem Definition: Allocating sufficient capacity to cloud services is a challenging task, especially when demand is time-varying, heterogeneous, contains batches, and requires multiple types of resources for processing. In this setting,…

Diffusion on complex networks is often modeled as a stochastic process. Yet, recent work on strategic diffusion emphasizes the decision power of agents and treats diffusion as a strategic problem. Here we study the computational aspects of…

Middleboxes or network appliances like firewalls, proxies and WAN optimizers have become an integral part of today's ISP and enterprise networks. Middlebox functionalities are usually deployed on expensive and proprietary hardware that…

Development of autonomous and self-driving vehicles requires agile and reliable services to manage hazardous road situations. Vehicular Network is the medium that can provide high-quality services for self-driving vehicles. The majority of…

With the rapid development of mobile communication, multimedia services have experienced explosive growth in the last few years. The high quantity of mobile users, both consuming and producing these services to and from the Cloud Computing…

Serverless computing is becoming widely adopted among cloud providers, thus making increasingly popular the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming model, where the developers realize services by packaging sequences of stateless function…

Federated Learning (FL) has been proposed as an appealing approach to handle data privacy issue of mobile devices compared to conventional machine learning at the remote cloud with raw user data uploading. By leveraging edge servers as…

Edge Computing (EC) allows users to access computing resources at the network frontier, which paves the way for deploying delay-sensitive applications such as Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR). Under the EC paradigm, MAR users connect to the…

We investigate the control and optimization of vertical federated learning (VFL), a class of distributed machine learning (ML) methods in which edge/fog devices contain separate data features, in dynamic edge/fog networks. Owing to…

Many academic disciplines - including information systems, computer science, and operations management - face scheduling problems as important decision making tasks. Since many scheduling problems are NP-hard in the strong sense, there is a…

In an edge-cloud multi-tier network, datacenters provide services to mobile users, with each service having specific latency constraints and computational requirements. Deploying such a variety of services while matching their requirements…

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…

The shift from Cloud Computing to a Cloud-Edge continuum presents new opportunities and challenges for data-intensive and interactive applications. Edge computing has garnered a lot of attention from both industry and academia in recent…

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…
