This paper explores and makes a case for allocating a Wide-area Infrastructure Manager
(WIM) on-demand to support softwarized network slicing, as part of the full NFVI virtualised …

This paper explores some of the mechanisms, components, and abstractions that can be
utilized in order to encompass network slicing into a bigger picture for NFV delivery. In …

This paper proposes a slice management and orchestration framework for abstracting the
instantiation of end-to-end network slices, which are composed by a chain of both physical …

Vertical industries are attracted by the flexibility and customization offered by network
operators through network slicing to run their application platforms in virtual infrastructure …

Network slicing is an important technology that influences the way in which new networking
solutions will be designed and operated. Currently, there are several approaches to network …

Network slicing allows network operators to build multiple isolated virtual networks on a
shared physical network to accommodate a wide variety of services and applications. With …

Network slicing is considered a key mechanism to serve the multitude of tenants (eg vertical
