Nowadays Network Operators (NOs) are providing service guaranties to customers by largely overprovisioning their networks, but as the Internet keeps growing, this approach is unveiling important issues in terms of cost and ...

The routing inaccuracy problem is one of the major issues impeding the evolution and deployment of Constraint- Based Routing (CBR) techniques. This paper proposes a promising CBR strategy that combines the strengths of ...

The performance of the regenerator allocation algorithms in WDM networks strongly depends on the accuracy of the physical-layer information such as the Q factor. In a translucent WDM network the already installed ...

og-to-Cloud (F2C) is a novel paradigm aiming at extending the cloud computing capabilities to the edge of the network through the hierarchical and coordinated management of both, centralized cloud datacenters and distributed ...

Future IoT services execution may benefit from combining resources at cloud and at the edge. To that end, new architectures should be proposed to handle IoT services in a coordinated way at either the edge of the network, ...

Technological revolutions have greatly increased the use of IoT devices for our daily life. Driving the fact that everything surrounding us is getting connected what turns into an unstoppable increase in the amount of data ...

Animals play a profoundly important and intricate role in our lives today. Dogs have been human companions for thousands of years, but now they work to assist the disabled, and in combat and search and rescue situations. ...

A few years ago, an experimental facility composed of networking gear and simulation tools was sufficient for testing the main features of a prototype before the final product could be launched to the Internet market. This ...

EuQoS is the acronym for “end-to-end quality of service support over heterogeneous networks,”which is a European research project aimed at building an entire QoS framework,addressing all the relevant network layers, ...

There are a myriad of computing resources in the World, most of which are underused. Efficiently using some of these devices raises several interesting opportunities. For instance, devices are spread everywhere, so locality ...
