Software-defined network (SDN) has become one of the most important architectures for the
management of largescale complex networks, which may require repolicing or …

Abstract Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new technology that makes computer
networks farther programmable. SDN is currently attracting significant consideration from …

Service function chains (SFCs) are an ordered set of virtual network functions (VNFs) which
can realize a specific network service. Enabled by virtualization technologies, these VNFs …

The traditional networks are facing difficulties in managing the services offered by cloud
computing, big data, and the Internet of Things as the users have become more dependent …

In this paper, we propose a mobility-aware task offloading scheme, named as Soft-VAN, with
an aim to minimize task computation delay in a software-defined vehicular network. The …

Software-defined networking (SDN) has attracted the attention of the research community in
recent years, as evidenced by a large number of survey and review papers. The architecture …

Wide deployment and dense usage of computer networks may cause excessive energy
consumption due to the increase in probability of network congestion, frame collisions and …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture for the next-generation
Internet, providing unprecedented network programmability to handle the explosive growth …

Hybrid IP networks that use both control paradigms-distributed and centralized-promise the
best of two worlds: 1) programmability of software-defined networking (SDN) and 2) …

Load-balanced flow scheduling for big data centers in clouds, in which a large amount of
data needs to be transferred frequently among thousands of interconnected servers, is a key …
