Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that aims to connect
heterogeneous and constrained objects to each other and to the Internet. It has grown …

Fog computing allows services to be deployed on computing resources at the edge of the
network to address the limitations of centralized cloud systems. However, the adoption of fog …

6G networks are envisioned to deliver a large diversity of applications and meet stringent
Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Hence, integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial …

In this paper, we design a resource management scheme to support stateful applications,
which will be prevalent in sixth generation (6G) networks. Different from stateless …

Network slicing (NwS) is one of the main technologies in the fifth-generation of mobile
communication and beyond (5G+). One of the important challenges in the NwS is …

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), which decouples network functions from the
underlying hardware, has been regarded as an emerging paradigm to provide flexible …

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 …

In software defined network/network function virtualization (SDN/NFV)-enabled cloud
environment, cloud services can be implemented as service function chains (SFCs), which …

The fifth generation of mobile networks can provide differentiated services enabled by
network slicing and multi-access edge computing. A new business actor, called Slice Broker …

The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved from a novel technology to an integral part of our
everyday lives. It encompasses a multitude of heterogeneous devices that collect valuable …
