Centralized cloud computing with 100+ milliseconds network latencies cannot meet the tens of milliseconds to sub-millisecond response times required for emerging 5G applications like autonomous driving, smart manufacturing, tactile…

In this paper, we study end-to-end service reliability in Data Center Networks (DCN) with flow and Service Function Chains (SFCs) parallelism. In our approach, we consider large flows to i) be split into multiple parallel smaller sub-flows;…

Coflow provides a key application-layer abstraction for capturing communication patterns, enabling the efficient coordination of parallel data flows to reduce job completion times in distributed systems. Modern data center networks (DCNs)…

Serverless computing has emerged as a new execution model which gained a lot of attention in cloud computing thanks to the latest advances in containerization technologies. Recently, serverless has been adopted at the edge, where it can…

Migration and replication of virtual network functions (VNFs) are well-known mechanisms to face dynamic resource requests in Internet Service Provider (ISP) edge networks. They are not only used to reallocate resources in carrier networks,…

Network function virtualization (NFV) based service function chaining (SFC) allows the provisioning of various security and traffic engineering applications in a cloud network. Inefficient deployment of network functions can lead to…

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…

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…

We tackle the problem of goal-directed graph construction: given a starting graph, a budget of modifications, and a global objective function, the aim is to find a set of edges whose addition to the graph achieves the maximum improvement in…

With the advent of 5G and the evolution of Internet protocols, industrial applications are moving from vertical solutions to general purpose IP-based infrastructures that need to meet deterministic Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The…

A non-trivial minimum cut (NMC) sparsifier is a multigraph $\hat{G}$ that preserves all non-trivial minimum cuts of a given undirected graph $G$. We introduce a flexible data structure for fully dynamic graphs that can efficiently provide…

Network function Virtualization (NFV) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) are promising 5G technologies to support resource-demanding mobile applications. In NFV, one must process the service function chain (SFC) in which a set of network…

Service Function Chaining (SFC) is a trending paradigm, which has helped to introduce unseen flexibility in telecom networks. Network service providers, as well as big network infrastructure providers, are competing to offer personalized…

Recent work has revealed many intriguing empirical phenomena in neural network training, despite the poorly understood and highly complex loss landscapes and training dynamics. One of these phenomena, Linear Mode Connectivity (LMC), has…

In mobile edge computing, local edge servers can host cloud-based services, which reduces network overhead and latency but requires service migrations as users move to new locations. It is challenging to make migration decisions optimally…

Congestion Control (CC) plays a fundamental role in optimizing traffic in Data Center Networks (DCN). Currently, DCNs mainly implement two main CC protocols: DCTCP and DCQCN. Both protocols -- and their main variants -- are based on…
