Edge computing is a (r) evolutionary extension of traditional cloud computing. It expands
central cloud infrastructure with execution environments close to the users in terms of …

Network slicing has become a fundamental property for next-generation networks,
especially because an inherent part of 5G standardisation is the ability for service providers …

The dependence of traditional network functions (NFs) on special hardware results in high
capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenditures (OPEX). Network Function …

With the growing demand for openness, scalability, and granularity, mobile network function
virtualization (NFV) has emerged as a key enabler for the most of mobile network operators …

Abstract The Function‐as‐a‐Service (FaaS) paradigm has a lot of potential as a computing
model for fog environments comprising both cloud and edge nodes, as compute requests …

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) promises to provide mobile users with delay-sensitive
services at the edge of network, and each user service request usually is associated with a …

Abstract Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) aims at determining the placement of virtual
services both internally in the edge/cloud infrastructure (EC) and distributed, among distinct …

Abstract In Internet of Things (IoT) data processing, cloud computing alone does not suffice
due to latency constraints, bandwidth limitations, and privacy concerns. By introducing …

With the growing demand for openness, scalability, and granularity, mobile network function
virtualization (NFV) has emerged as a key enabler for most mobile network operators. NFV …

Recently, Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANET) have been proposed to empower 5G networks
to support complex missions and provide ubiquitous connectivity to heterogeneous devices …
