The introduction of fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks leads to an increase in energy
consumption and higher operational costs for mobile network operators (MNOs) …

In multi-tenant clouds, the traffic of tenants (eg, enterprises) needs to be processed by
network functions (NFs), for security and business logic issues. Due to potential hardware …

This paper proposes a virtual network function (VNF) placement model considering both
availability and probabilistic protection for service delay to minimize the service deployment …

Within network cloud infrastructures underpinning 5G (and in future 6G) workloads, multi-
core processor resources can be “sliced” using pinning of cores for specific workloads; this …

With the proliferation of I nternet of T hings (IoT) devices deployed in edge networks, the
functionalities of IoT devices are typically encapsulated in terms of IoT services. Their …

Network function virtualization (NFV) decouples network functions from hardware devices.
However, it introduces security challenges due to its reliance on software, which facilitates …

Abstract Cloud computing and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are two
complementary technologies. Virtual network functions (VNFs) provided by NFV are …
