Network Function Virtualization (NFV) can help telecom operators to decouple Service
Functions (SFs) from specific hardware. Service Function Chains (SFCs) consisting of Virtual …

Flow updates are common in today's networks, and software-defined networking (SDN)
enables network operators to reconfigure switches for updating flows easily. However, the …

Animal husbandry is the pillar industry in some ethnic areas of China. However, the
communication/networking infrastructure in these areas is often underdeveloped, thus the …

Motivated by multi-domain Service Function Chain (SFC) orchestration, we define the
Shortest-Longest Path (SLP) problem, prove its hardness, and design an efficient Fully …

Service function chaining of network-functions across multiple domains enables next-
generation services to be offered efficiently. Multi-domain orchestrator decouples the …

The study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of various machine learning (ML)
classifiers in the context of detecting cyber-trolling behaviors. With the rising prevalence of …

Recent years have witnessed the increasing number of mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablets that are characterized by low computing and storage capabilities …

The proliferation of the ever-increasing number of highly heterogeneous smart devices and
the emerging of a wide range of diverse applications in 5G mobile network ecosystems …

Traditional network is equipped with many proprietary hardware-based network functions.
These hardware-based network functions lead to network ossification which results in lack of …

Abstract As IoT (Internet of Things) devices become pervasive in our surroundings, it is more
important for them to dynamically discover and interact with nearby IoT devices. However, as …
