Optimal placement of service function in service function chaining
2016 Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN), 2016In service function chaining (SFC), an ordered list of service functions (SFs) is specified for network services, and those SFs should be placed in appropriate service nodes (SNs) to satisfy the given service latency requirement. In this paper, we formulate an integer non-linear programming (INLP) problem for the optimal placement of SFs when the ...

Enhancing Geo‐Service Chaining through Deep Service Descriptions
Transactions in GIS, 2007AbstractWe demonstrate the integrated use of semantic and syntactic service descriptions, called deep service descriptions, for service chaining by combining two prototypes: one that deals with geoservice discovery abstract composition (called ‘GeoMatchMaker’), with one that supports concrete composition and execution of geoservices services (called ...

Service Chaining for Hybrid Network Function
IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, 2019In the Service-Function-Chaining (SFC) enabled networks, various sophisticated policy-aware network functions, such as intrusion detection, access control and unified threat management, can be realized in either physical middleboxes or virtualized network function (VNF) appliances.

Open services provider for supply chains
2017 20th Conference of Open Innovations Association (FRUCT), 2017There is proposed a new software solution for supply chains management based in virtualization of intermediary services. Open Services Provider (OSP) is a platform powered by SEC “Open code” that allows developing situational centers for decision making support based on Big Data analysis and visualization. The paper describes a problem of management of

Resilient allocation of service Function chains
2016 IEEE Conference on Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networks (NFV-SDN), 2016Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is an emerging initiative where standard IT virtualization evolves to consolidate network functions onto high volume servers, switches and storage that can be located anywhere in the network. One of the main challenges to implement NFV is the problem of allocating Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on top of the ...

Supply chain dynamics in healthcare services
International Journal of Health Care Quality Assurance, 2010PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse health service supply chain systems. A great deal of literature is available on supply chain management in finished goods inventory situations; however, little research exists on managing service capacity when finished goods inventories are absent.Design/methodology/approachSystem dynamics models for a ...

Abstract In Chapter 1, I said I would introduce two models to help explain and clarify, in practical terms, the way in which the Internet is transforming legal practice. The first model, which was the focus of the previous chapter, was The Grid. The second model, to which I now turn, is what I term the ‘Client Service Chain’.

Coordinated Allocation of Service Function Chains
2015 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM), 2014Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is an emerging initiative to overcome increasing operational and capital costs faced by network operators due to the need to physically locate network functions in specific hardware appliances. In NFV, standard IT virtualization evolves to consolidate network functions onto high volume servers, switches and ...

The Service-Profit Chain in Spine Surgery
Clinical Spine Surgery: A Spine Publication, 2016Medicine has always been a service industry (as opposed to a manufacturing industry), as there is a shift from volume to value in health care, this point is becoming increasingly important. The delivery of good care extends beyond the technical aspects of performing a complex operation or prescribing the right type of medicine.
