Probabilistic QoS-aware Placement of VNF Chains at the Edge [PDF]
Theory and Practice of Logic Programming, 2021 AbstractDeploying Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled virtual network function (VNF) chains to Cloud-Edge infrastructures requires determining a placement for each VNF that satisfies all set deployment requirements as well as a software-defined routing of traffic flows between consecutive functions that meets all set communication requirements.

Routing-Led Placement of VNFs in Arbitrary Networks [PDF]
2020 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2020 The ever increasing demand for computing resources has led to the creation of hyperscale datacentres with tens of thousands of servers. As demand continues to rise, new technologies must be incorporated to ensure high quality services can be provided without the damaging environmental impact of high energy consumption. Virtualisation technology such as
