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 …

DIPS

**DIPS** enables users (i.e. application providers) to specify their desired VNF chain requirements in a high-level language that captures their intent, such as the type of service to be provided, possible location constraints (e.g. at the edge), Quality of Service (QoS) (e.g. latency and bandwidth), but also non-functional requirements (e.g. privacy and logging).

Data-aware Declarative Application Management in the Cloud-IoT Continuum

Nowadays billions of devices are connected to the Internet of Things and can reach computing facilities along the Cloud-IoT continuum to process the data they produce, leading to a dramatic increase in the number of deployed applications as well as …

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 …

DA-Placer

**DAPlacer** proposes a declarative solution that accounts for (non-)functional aspects so as to determine service placements and SDN data routings that meet all application requirements. Such a solution employs a Prolog reasoner and continuous reasoning to speed-up placement and routing decisions at runtime.

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, …
