Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Network softwarization is an emerging research area that is envisioned to revolutionize the way network infrastructure is designed, operated, and managed today. Contemporary telecommunication networks are going through a major transformation, and softwarization is recognized as a crucial enabler of this transformation by both academia and industry. Softwarization promises to overcome the current ossified state of Internet network architecture and evolve towards a more open, agile, flexible, and programmable networking paradigm that will reduce both capital and operational expenditures, cut-down time-to-market of new services, and create new revenue streams. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are two complementary networking technologies that have established themselves as the cornerstones of network softwarization. SDN decouples the control and data planes to provide enhanced programmability and faster innovation of networking technologies. It facilitates simplified network control, scalability, availability, flexibility, security, cost-reduction, autonomic management, and fine-grained control of network traffic. NFV utilizes virtualization technology to reduce dependency on underlying hardware by moving packet processing activities from proprietary hardware middleboxes to virtualized entities that can run on commodity hardware. Together SDN and NFV simplify network infrastructure by utilizing standardized and commodity hardware for both compute and networking; bringing the benefits of agility, economies of scale, and flexibility of data centers to networks. Network softwarization provides the tools required to re-architect the current network infrastructure of the Internet. However, the effective application of these tools requires efficient utilization of networking resources in the softwarized environment. Innovative techniques and mechanisms are required for all aspects of network management and control. The overarching goal of this thesis is to address several key resource orchestration challenges in softwarized networks. The resource allocation and orchestration techniques presented in this thesis utilize the functionality provided by softwarization to reduce operational cost, improve resource utilization, ensure scalability, dynamically scale resource pools according to demand, and optimize energy utilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fifth Generation (5G) era is touted as the next generation of mobile networks that will unleash new services and network capabilities, opening up a whole new line of businesses recognized by a top-notch Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) empowered by many recent advancements in network softwarization and providing an innovative on-demand service provisioning on a shared underlying network infrastructure. 5G networks will support the immerse explosion of the Internet of Things (IoT) incurring an expected growth of billions of connected IoT devices by 2020, providing a wide range of services spanning from low-cost sensor-based metering services to low-latency communication services touching health, education and automotive sectors among others. Mobile operators are striving to find a cost effective network solution that will enable them to continuously and automatically upgrade their networks based on their ever growing customers demands in the quest of fulfilling the new rising opportunities of offering novel services empowered by the many emerging IoT devices. Thus, departing from the shortfalls of legacy hardware (i.e., high cost, difficult management and update, etc.) and learning from the different advantages of virtualization technologies which enabled the sharing of computing resources in a cloud environment, mobile operators started to leverage the idea of network softwarization through several emerging technologies. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) promises an ultimate Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) reduction and high flexibility in resource provisioning and service delivery through replacing hardware equipment by software. Software Defined Network (SDN) offers network and mobile operators programmable traffic management and delivery. These technologies will enable the launch of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) paradigm that promises to complete the 5G networks requirements in providing low-latency services by bringing the computing resources to the edge of the network, in close vicinity of the users, hence, assisting the limited capabilities of their IoT devices in delivering their needed services. By leveraging network softwarization, these technologies will initiate a tremendous re-design of current networks that will be transformed to self-managed, software-based networks exploiting multiple benefits ranging from flexibility, programmability, automation, elasticity among others. This dissertation attempts to elaborate and address key challenges related to enabling the re-design of current networks to support a smooth integration of the NFV and MEC technologies. This thesis provides a profound understanding and novel contributions in resource and service provisioning and scheduling towards enabling efficient resource and network utilization of the underlying infrastructure by leveraging several optimization and game theoretic techniques. In particular, we first, investigate the interplay existing between network function mapping, traffic routing and Network Service (NS) scheduling in NFV-based networks and present a Column Generation (CG) decomposition method to solve the problem with considerable runtime improvement over mathematical-based formulations. Given the increasing interest in providing low-latency services and the correlation existing between this objective and the goal of network operators in maximizing their network admissibility through efficiently utilizing their network resources, we revisit the latter problem and tackle it under different assumptions and objectives. Given its complexity, we present a novel game theoretic approach that is able to provide a bounded solution of the problem. Further, we extend our work to the network edge where we promote network elasticity and alleviate virtualization technologies by addressing the problem of task offloading and scheduling along with the IoT application resource allocation problem. Given the complexity of the problem, we propose a Logic-Based Benders (LBBD) decomposition method to efficiently solve it to optimality.

Download or read book Automated Defect Prevention written by Dorota Huizinga and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-08-24 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes an approach to software management based on establishing an infrastructure that serves as the foundation for the project. This infrastructure defines people roles, necessary technology, and interactions between people and technology. This infrastructure automates repetitive tasks, organizes project activities, tracks project status, and seamlessly collects project data to provide measures necessary for decision making. Most importantly, this infrastructure sustains and facilitates the improvement of human-defined processes. The methodology described in the book, which is called Automated Defect Prevention (ADP) stands out from the current software landscape as a result of two unique features: its comprehensive approach to defect prevention, and its far-reaching emphasis on automation. ADP is a practical and thorough guide to implementing and managing software projects and processes. It is a set of best practices for software management through process improvement, which is achieved by the gradual automation of repetitive tasks supported and sustained by this flexible and adaptable infrastructure, an infrastructure that essentially forms a software production line. In defining the technology infrastructure, ADP describes necessary features rather than specific tools, thus remaining vendor neutral. Only a basic subset of features that are essential for building an effective infrastructure has been selected. Many existing commercial and non-commercial tools support these, as well as more advanced features. Appendix E contains such a list.

Download or read book Reliability Management Framework for Softwarized Networks written by Haihong Zhu and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technologies promise to enhance the performance, reliability, and cost of managing both wired and wireless network infrastructures, functions, controls, and services (i.e., Internet of Things). However, centralized reliability management in Softwareization architecture poses both scalability and latency challenges. Significantly, the current OpenFlow Discovery Protocol (OFDP) in SDN induces substantial scalability, accuracy, and latency hurdles due to its gossipy, centralized, periodic, and tardy protocol. This dissertation proposes a novel reliability management framework, which efficiently orchestrates different reliability monitoring mechanisms over SDN networks and synchronizes the control messages among various applications. The proposed framework facilitates multiple discovery frequency timers for each target over different stratum instead of using a uniform discovery timer for the entire network. It supports many common reliability monitoring factors for registered applications by analyzing offline and online network architecture information such as network topologies, traffic flows, virtualization architectures, and protocols. The framework consists of a high availability registration platform (HARP) and the topology-aware reliability management (TARman) and Bug Detection, Debugging, and Isolation (BuDDI) protocol facilities. The reliability management framework is implemented on both Ryu and Cisco’s OpenDayLight (ODL) controllers. Extensive Mininet experimental results validate that framework significantly improves discovery message efficiency and makes the control traffic less bursty than OFDP with a uniform timer. It also reduces the network status discovery delay without increasing the control overhead. Our reliability management framework also proposes a novel network reliability cost model to ensure that the SLA covers customer service impact and damage. We classify network outages and calculate their effect on the network services to formulate a cost-based model. Besides, we have performed evaluations using various campus network outage scenarios. The proposed cost-based model enables customers to identify the service impact of unplanned network outages to their networks instead of entirely depending on the service provider’s data.

Download or read book Digital Surgery written by Sam Atallah and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​This book provides a trove of insightful perspectives on the current state and the realization of digital surgery. Digital surgery entails the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning toward automation in robotic-assisted surgery. More generally, the objective is to digitally define the patient, the surgical field, and the surgical problem or task at hand; to operate based on information, rather than based on anatomic planes alone. But digital surgery has shapeshifted into other, equally intriguing faces – many of which are exemplified by topics throughout this book. Digital surgery is fundamental to 3D-printed organs, mind-controlled limbs, image-guided navigation, and tele-mentoring. It is the key that unlocks the metaphorical doorway to surgical access, thereby creating a global framework for surgical training, education, planning, and much more. This text provides methods of measurement and perception outside of the human umwelt – including the ability to visualize fields beyond the visible light spectrum, via near infrared fluorescent organic dyes which are rapidly being bioengineered to target specific tumors, as well as native anatomic structures of interest. Written by experts in the field, Digital Surgery is designed to help surgeons operate with an enriched understanding of an individual’s specific attributes: including the human phenome, physiome, microbiome, genome, and epigenome. It also aids surgeons in harnessing the power and fluidity of the cloud, which is emerging as a significant resource for surgeons both regionally and globally.
