Cost-optimized hybrid VNF deployment in edge-cloud collaborative systems via LSTM-enhanced actor-critic learning

Open Computer Science
Edge cloud collaborative systems face critical challenges in deploying virtual network functions with dynamic adaptability and cost efficiency due to the heterogeneity of Virtual Machine-Virtual Network Function (VM-VNF) and Container Technology-Virtual ...

The Return of the Allis Shad (Alosa alosa) to the Lower Navigable Reaches of the Seine: Locks Play a Role

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 9, Page 1918-1932, November 2026.
ABSTRACT In France, it is estimated that shads (Alosa spp.) have lost 69% of their historical range, mainly due to disrupted river connectivity. After an absence of one century, signs of their return in the Seine River have been recorded over the past two decades: adult and juvenile specimens have been caught by anglers or recorded at video‐counting ...

Gas–liquid mass transfer enhancement in the presence of nanoparticles under slug flow in microreactors

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Nanofluids containing nanoparticles represent a promising solvent or reaction system for gas–liquid operations. Herein, the effect of nanoparticle (Al2O3 and SiO2) addition on gas–liquid slug flow pattern and mass transfer enhancement was investigated during CO2 absorption into water in microreactors.

Extending Nighttime Combustion Source Detection Limits with Short Wavelength VIIRS Data

Remote Sensing, 2019
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) collects low light imaging data at night in five spectral bands. The best known of these is the day/night band (DNB) which uses light intensification for imaging of moonlit clouds in the visible and ...

Enzymatic Electrosynthesis for Sustainable CO2 Conversion: Advancing Circular Carbon Economy

Carbon Energy, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Enzymatic electrosynthesis (EES) offers molecular precision in synthesizing value‐added products from CO2. We highlight its distinct edge over alternative enzyme‐hybrid systems and analyze electron transfer pathways. Key strategies to overcome electron transfer bottlenecks and expand product diversity are addressed, and also data‐driven approaches for ...

Joint Admission Control and Resource Allocation With Parallel VNF Processing for Time-Constrained Chains of Virtual Network Functions

IEEE Access, 2021
Network Function Virtualization decouples network function deployment from dedicated hardware and reduces costs. Network services are structured as chains of VNFs. Each chain is a set of VNFs that should be executed according to a predefined order.

Multi-Domain Vnf Mapping

, 2018
5G technologies are taking benefit of the Network Function Virtualization to achieve more flexible deployments. This new paradigm allows the resource sharing between operators in federated environments thanks to the decomposition of services into virtual network functions connected together composing a “service function chain”.

On Coding for Reliable VNF Chaining in DCNs [PDF]

2019 15th International Conference on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN), 2019
We study how erasure coding can improve service reliability in Data Center Networks (DCN). To this end, we find that coding can be best deployed in systems, where i) traffic is split into multiple parallel sub-flows, ii) each sub-flow is encoded; iii) SFC along with their corresponding Virtual Network Functions (VNF) concatenated are replicated into at

Deployment of VNF Service Chains with Grooming and Resilience in Elastic Optical Networks [PDF]

, 2023
Network function virtualization (NFV) uses virtual network functions (VNFs) and VNF service chains (VNF-SCs) as a flexible and cost-efficient way of providing network services.
