By decoupling virtualized network functions from the dedicated network equipment on which
they run, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has brought a flexible and economical way …

Network function virtualization (NFV) is a novel technology that virtualizes computing,
network, and storage resources to decouple the network functions from the underlying …

This paper addresses the problem of mapping, scheduling, and routing of virtual network
functions (VNF) on a service function chain (SFC) that is sensitive to latency in a virtual …

Ensuring application service availability is a critical aspect of delivering quality cloud
computing services. However, placing virtual machines (VMs) on computing servers to …

Network function virtualization (NFV) implements network functions as software, which
enables flexible, resource‐efficient, and rapid provision of network services. In NFV, network …

In the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm, Internet Service Providers (ISP)
provide network services to customers by routing and processing traffic through an ordered …

This paper proposes a virtual network function (VNF) placement model considering both
availability and probabilistic protection for the service delay to minimize the service …

Network function virtualization (NFV) deployment in fog networks enables network providers
