Combining Declarative and Linear Programming for Application Management in the Cloud-Edge Continuum

This work investigates the data-aware multi-service application placement problem in Cloud-Edge settings. We previously introduced EdgeWise, a hybrid approach that combines declarative programming with Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to …

Declarative Traffic Engineering for Low-Latency and Reliable Networking

Cloud-Edge applications like industrial control systems and connected vehicles demand stringent end-to-end latency guarantees. Among existing data plane candidate solutions for bounded latency networking, the guaranteed Latency-Based Forwarding …

ECLYPSE: a Python Framework for Simulation and Emulation of the Cloud-Edge Continuum

The Cloud-Edge continuum enhances application performance by bringing computation closer to data sources. However, it presents considerable challenges in managing resources and determining service placement, as these tasks require navigating diverse, …

Marginal Cost of Computation as a Collaborative Strategy for Resource Management at the Edge

This paper explores an extended applications' cost function to model the willingness of Edge data centres to accommodate additional users in decentralized edge computing environments. By enhancing the Marginal Computing Cost per User (MCU) concept, …

Towards a Comprehensive Approach to Resource and Conflict Management in Cloud-Edge Settings

As the Internet of Things (IoT) gains popularity, the multitude of connected devices accessing computing facilities along the Cloud-IoT continuum has risen rapidly. This growth has prompted an increase in IoT-based applications and the data they …

Towards declarative traffic engineering for guaranteed latency-based forwarding

Cloud-edge applications often require data flows to meet stringent latency requirements, ensuring punctual IP packet delivery within specific time windows. To this end, the guaranteed Latency Based Forwarding (gLBF) approach features per-hop bounded …

Urgent Edge Computing

This position paper introduces Urgent Edge Computing (UEC) as a paradigm shift addressing the evolving demands of time-sensitive applications in distributed edge environments, in time-critical scenarios. With a focus on ultra-low latency, …

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 …
