Modelling and exploiting teammates' policies in cooperative multi-agent systems have long
been an interest and also a big challenge for the reinforcement learning (RL) community …

As software-defined networking deployments mature, operators need to manage and
compose multiple resource-management applications, such as traffic engineering and …

Abstract Hybrid Software Defined Networks (Hybrid SDNs), which combines the robustness
of distributed network and the flexibility of centralized network, is now a prevailing network …

With the advent of 5G and the evolution of Internet protocols, industrial applications are
moving from vertical solutions to general purpose IP-based infrastructures that need to meet …

We propose a new concept called" flow rule virtualization"(FlowVirt) for programmable
network virtualization (P-NV). In P-NV, network hypervisor is a key component in that it plays …

Load-balancing and network optimization in SDN networks require efficient flow splitting
during the path computation phase. The way flow splitting is typically implemented in …

This thesis proposes a modular Software Defned Network controller-(Multi-agent SDN
controller). The thesis is in two parts. The frst part makes the proposition and provides the …

In this paper, we propose a traffic rerouting mechanism to address congestion in Software-
Defined networks. We employ back-tracking and constraint propagation techniques to find …

With the increase of power generation from renewable sources and with a growing energy
demand, the traditional communication network underpinning the actual electric power grid …

Motivated by the adoption of the Software Defined Networking and its increasing focus on
applications for resource management, we propose a novel framework for expressing …
