The emerging network slicing paradigm for 5G provides new business opportunities by
enabling multi-tenancy support. At the same time, new technical challenges are introduced …

Network slicing is considered one of the main pillars of the upcoming 5G networks. Indeed,
the ability to slice a mobile network and tailor each slice to the needs of the corresponding …

With an increasing number of applications in the context of multi-agent systems, automated
negotiation is a rapidly growing area. Written by top researchers in the field, this state-of-the …

We address a variant of the classical knapsack problem in which an upper bound is
imposed on the number of items that can be selected. This problem arises in the solution of …

Autonomous management and orchestration (MANO) of virtualized resources and services,
especially in large-scale network function virtualization (NFV) environments, is a big …

Knapsack and Partition are two important additive problems whose fine-grained
complexities in the (1—ε)-approximation setting are not yet settled. In this work, we make …

Feature modeling is a common method used to capture the variability in a configurable
application. A key challenge developers face when using a feature model is determining …

The 0–1 knapsack problem is an important optimization problem, because it arises as a
special case of a wide variety of optimization problems and has been generalized in several …

For multiobjective optimization problems, it is meaningful to compute a set of solutions
covering all possible trade-offs between the different objectives. The multiobjective …

Given a set of n positive integers and a knapsack of capacity c, the Subset-Sum Problem is
to find a subset the sum of which is closest to c without exceeding the value c. In this paper …
