This paper proposes and investigates a reconfiguration policy of cloud and bandwidth
resources in network function virtualization environments in which the network function …

We propose a new algorithmic framework for traffic-optimal virtual network function (VNF)
placement and migration for policy-preserving data centers (PPDCs). As dynamic virtual …

Abstract Network Function Virtualization (NFV) decouples network functions from dedicated
hardware devices into Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). These VNFs are chained in order …

Cognizant of the ease with which softwarized functions can be dynamically scaled according
to real time resource requirements, and the fact that multiple services can have common …

Abstract The goal of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is to build agile and service-
aware networks by building a new paradigm of provisioning network services where …

Owing to software defined network function virtualization (SDNFV), network services can be
implemented as service function chains (SFCs) in SDNFV-enabled Cloud Computing. SFCs …

As a novel network architecture, network function virtualization greatly improves the flexibility
of service deployment but also increases the complexity of network function virtualization …

Abstract As Network Function Virtualization (NFV) continues to advance, Virtual Network
Functions (VNFs) such as firewalls are increasingly used. Service Function Chains (SFCs) …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) enables the decoupling of network functions from
dedicated hardware to run them as software instances on commodity servers through …

More and more 5G and AI applications demand flexible and low-cost processing of their
traffic through diverse virtualized network functions (VNFs) to meet their security and privacy …
