The Industry 4.0 sector is evolving in a tremendous pace by introducing a set of industrial
automation mechanisms tightly coupled with the exploitation of Internet of Things (IoT), 5G …

Currently, telecommunication research communities are striving towards the adoption of
Zero-touch network and Service Management (ZSM) in Network Function Virtualisation …

Network function virtualization (NFV) proposes to replace physical middleboxes with more
flexible virtual network functions (VNFs). To dynamically adjust to ever-changing traffic …

One of the main incentives for deploying network functions on a virtualized or cloud-based
infrastructure, is the ability for on-demand orchestration and elastic resource scaling …

More and more management and orchestration approaches for (software) networks are
based on machine learning paradigms and solutions. These approaches depend not only …

In this paper, we present a zero-touch network orchestrator to autonomously provide an end-
to-end orchestration platform to orchestrate, monitor, and profile network services …

Since the real-time video analytics with high accuracy requirement is resource-consuming,
the profiles regarding such resource-accuracy trade-off are needed before the analytics for …

Modern network services make increasing use of virtualized compute and network
resources. This is enabled by the growing availability of softwarized network functions …

The intelligent orchestration of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) requires understanding
and profiling the impact of VNF resource consumption on its performance. Recent efforts …

Leveraging the potential of Virtualised Network Functions (VNFs) requires a clear
understanding of the link between resource consumption and performance. The current …
