Predicting demand for computing resources in any system is a vital task since it allows the
optimized management of resources. To some degree, cloud computing reduces the …

This article proposes a primary and backup resource allocation model that provides a
probabilistic protection guarantee for virtual machines against multiple failures of physical …

Network function virtualization paradigm enables us to implement network functions
provided in middleboxes as softwares that run on commodity servers. This paper proposes a …

This paper proposes a backup resource allocation model for virtual networks with providing
a probabilistic protection against multiple facility node failures by jointly considering backup …

This paper proposes a backup network design scheme that can determine backup link
capacity in practical time. The proposed scheme suppresses the required backup link …

This paper proposes a backup computing and transmission resource allocation model for
virtual networks with providing a probabilistic protection against multiple facility node …

In network function virtualization (NFV), the client's service requests will go through multiple
service functions (SFs). The instances of the required SFs will be hosted on the …

Network function virtualization provides an efficient and flexible way to implement network
functions deployed in middleboxes as software running on commodity servers. However, it …

A cost-effective backup resource allocation model for cloud computing systems based on a
probabilistic protection guarantee was presented. This paper implements the backup …

This paper proposes a preventive priority setting model to handle load balancing against
multiple controller failures in software defined networks. For each switch, a set of controllers …
