Network monitoring has always been a topic of foremost importance for both network operators and researchers for multiple reasons ranging from anomaly detection to tra c classi cation or capacity planning. Nowadays, as ...
Despite the numerous efforts of standardization, semantic issues remain in effect in many subfields of networking. The inability to exchange data unambiguously between information systems and human resources is an issue ...
(English) Optical transport networks (OTNs) are a core infrastructure and key-enabler of today’s hyper-connected society as most of the Internet data traffic is transferred over optical fibers. Traffic demand is experiencing ...
This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the reliable autonomous operation of multilayer optical networks. The first objective focuses on the reliability of the optical network and proposes methods for health analysis related to ...
Operator’s transport networks are becoming increasingly more complex due to the large number of network layers needed to support the ever increasing number of new services (e.g., video-on-demand, social media, on-line ...
(English) Future radio access network (RAN) will operate with massive and heterogeneous small-cell deployments and end-to-end (e2e) connectivity in support of diverse beyond fifth-generation (B5G) use cases. More and more ...
Network planning and operation in core optical networks require processes that lead to a cost-effective network able to effectively accommodate the given traffic demands. Crosslayer techniques that exploit information ...
Internet traffic is expected to keep increasing exponentially due to the emergence of a vast number of innovative online services and applications. Optical networks, which are the cornerstone of the underlying Internet ...
In the search and development of more participatory models for infrastructure development and management, in this dissertation, we investigate models for the financing, deployment, and operation of network and cloud computing ...
Network automation has been long time envisioned. In fact, the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN), defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), is a hierarchy of management layers (network element, ...
In Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) the lifetime of battery operated visual nodes is limited by their energy consumption, which is proportional to the energy required for sensing, processing, and transmitting ...
(English) Optical communications have been extensively investigated and enhanced in the last decades. Nowadays, they are responsible to transport all the data traffic generated around the world, from access to the core ...
New generation applications, such as cloud computing or video distribution, can run in a telecom cloud infrastructure where the datacenters (DCs) of telecom operators are integrated in their networks thus, increasing ...
(English) This research addresses resource allocation in communication networks, with emphasis on the impact of human uncertainty on the performance of these networks, especially those using advanced technologies. The ...
(English) In the wake of a digital revolution, contemporary society finds itself entrenched in an era where network applications' demands surpass the capabilities of conventional network management solutions. This dissertation ...
Overlay networks are a technique to build a new network on top of an existing one. They are a key tool to add functionality to existing networks, and are used in different layers of the Internet stack for a wide variety ...
The ever increasing IP traffic volume has finally brought to light the high inefficiency of current wavelength-routed over rigid-grid optical networks in matching the client layer requirements. Such an issue results in the ...
Nanosystems, integrated systems with a total size of a few micrometers, are capable of interacting at the nanoscale, but their short operating range limits their usefulness in practical macro-scale scenarios. Nanonetworks, ...
In just four decades the Internet has gone from a lab experiment to a worldwide, business critical infrastructure that caters to the communication needs of almost a half of the Earth's population. With these figures on its ...
Advances in communication and networking technologies are rapidly making ubiquitous network connectivity a reality. In recent years, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have already become very popular and been receiving an ...
