A declarative reasoning approach to conflict management in Intent-Based Networking

Intent-Based Networking aims to automate network management by allowing users to express desired outcomes rather than manually configuring network resources. For its fulfilment, a user intent should be translated into machine-executable actions, …

Sustainable placement of VNF chains in Intent-based Networking

Intent-based networking (IBN) aims at automatically driving network configurations and operations to fulfil high-level intents specified by infrastructure providers and application operators. Deploying Virtual Network Function (VNF) chains onto the …

Towards declarative intent processing and conflict resolution in IBN

Intent-based networking aims at achieving automated network management by allowing users to express desired outcomes rather than manually configure network resources. In this poster paper, by means of an example, we illustrate our proposal for a …

Declarative and Linear Programming Approaches to Service Placement, Reconciled

This article proposes an approach to the data-aware multi-service application placement problem in Cloud-Edge settings. We propose both declarative programming and a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) approach to determine eligible placements …

Declarative Provisioning of Virtual Network Function Chains in Intent-based Networks

Intent-based Networking (IBN) aims at simplifying network configuration and management by using high-level objectives that express the desired state of the network rather than the details of how to implement it. In this article, we propose a …

Data-Aware Application Placement and Management in the Cloud-IoT Continuum

With the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), billions of devices are now connected to the Internet and can reach computing facilities along the Cloud-IoT continuum to process the data they produce. This has led to a dramatic increase …

Data-Aware Service Placement in the Cloud-IoT Continuum

We present a declarative solution to determine, in a data-aware manner, application service placements and SDN data routings over Cloud-IoT infrastructures while meeting functional (software, hardware, IoT) and non-functional (security, latency, …
