In today's Internet, killer network services and applications, such as video and audio
streaming, network storage, and online video games, are pushing the network infrastructure …

Network management is becoming increasingly challenging with the relentless growth in
network size, traffic volume, and the diversity in QoS requirements. Traditionally, the concept …

Ensuring end-to-end Quality of Services (QoS) is a challenging aspect in traditional network
architectures. Software-Defined Network (SDN), as the new norm of the network, has …

Supporting end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) in existing network architectures is an
ongoing problem. Although researchers from both academia and industry have proposed …

Due to the centralized control, network-wide monitoring and flow-level scheduling of
software-defined-networking (SDN), it can be utilized to achieve quality of service (QoS) for …

Software-defined Networking (SDN) is a promising and powerful concept to introduce new
dimensions of flexibility and adaptability in today's communication networks. In particular …

With the increase of network complexity, the flexibility of network control and management
becomes a nontrivial problem. Both Software Defined Network (SDN) and Autonomic …

Abstract Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in a converged network is a particularly
difficult and yet extremely important task. With the coexistence of different types of services, it …

Software defined technology has gained enormous momentum in both industry and
academia. It may change the existing information flow architecture, which centered at …

Due to the limited service capabilities of centralized controllers, it is difficult to process high
volume of flows within reasonable time. This particularly degrades the strict quality of service …
