The Internet has led to the creation of a digital society, where (almost) everything is
connected and is accessible from anywhere. However, despite their widespread adoption …

Compared with traditional network, Software Defined Networking (SDN) decouples control
plane and data plane, providing programmability to configure the network. In spite of such …

With the advent of cloud computing, many new networking concepts have been introduced
to simplify network management and bring innovation through network programmability. The …

In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern packet-switched
communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While …

Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging paradigm that has become increasingly
popular in recent years. The core idea is to separate the control and data planes, allowing …

Software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a new network paradigm that promises
control/data plane separation and centralized network control. While these features simplify …

A reliable and scalable mechanism to provide protection against a link or node failure has
additional requirements in the context of SDN and OpenFlow. Not only it has to minimize the …

When dealing with node or link failures in software‐defined networking (SDN), the network
capability to establish an alternative path depends on controller reachability and on the …

In this paper, we integrate programmable networks in microgrid (MG) to provide flexible and
easy-to-manage communication solutions, thus enabling resilient MG operations in face of …

Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) has become one of the most preferred solutions
for the management of large-scale complex networks. The network policies in the large …
