Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a promising network architecture concept, in which
virtualization technologies are employed to manage networking functions via software as …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a promising technology that is receiving significant
attention in both academia and the industry. NFV paradigm proposes to decouple Network …

We propose combinatorial cascading bandits, a class of partial monitoring problems where
at each step a learning agent chooses a tuple of ground items subject to constraints and …

Hubs are critical elements of telecommunication and transportation networks because they
play a vital role in mass traffic movement. The design of more reliable networks in hub‐and …

Abstract Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a novel concept that is resha** the
middlebox arena, shifting network functions (eg firewall, gateways, proxies) from specialized …

By replacing traditional hardware-based middleboxes with software-based Virtual Network
Functions (VNFs) running on general-purpose servers, network function virtualization …

A matroid is a notion of independence in combinatorial optimization which is closely related
to computational efficiency. In particular, it is well known that the maximum of a constrained …

Computer networks have progressed from a simple store-and-forward medium to a complex
communication infrastructure. Routers in the network need to implement a variety of …

Malicious modifications to printed circuit boards (PCBs) are known as hardware Trojans.
These may arise when malafide third parties alter PCBs premanufacturing or …
