Network softwarization increases network flexibility by supporting the implementation of
network functions such as firewalls as software modules. However, this creates new …

The space-air-ground-ocean integrated network (SAGOI-Net) has become the focus of
research in recent years, which has the characteristics of wide coverage and strong …

Job-shop scheduling problems are complex and still well-studied manufacturing problems.
Improvement heuristic algorithms have been proposed to solve the scheduling problems …

Network slicing is a key component of the envisioned 5G network. Slices are virtual networks
purpose-built for tenants using a shared infrastructure. The slicing process is mathematically …

Virtualization and resource isolation techniques have enabled the efficient sharing of
networked resources. How to control network resource allocation accurately and flexibly has …

To address the problems of low spectrum utilization and high bandwidth blocking probability
of virtual optical network embedding in elastic optical networks, we propose a Survivable …

Given the current predictions of B5G, the maturity of 5G technology, and proposed network
services that are both compute-intensive and latency-sensitive, there are different levels of …

The upcoming Beyond Fifth Generation networks aim to meet network services
characterized by low latency and high reliability among others in different slices to provide a …

ABSTRACT Network Service Providers (NSPs) envisage to support the divergent and
stringent requirements of future services by instantiating these services as service chains …
