TL;DR: A comprehensive survey on NFV is presented, which starts from the introduction of NFV motivations, and provides an extensive and in-depth discussion on state-of-the-art VNF algorithms including VNF placement, scheduling, migration, chaining and multicast.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed an Activated Opinion Maximization Framework (AOMF) for signed social networks, which is composed of three phases: the selection of candidate seed nodes, the activated opinion formation process and the determination of seed nodes.

TL;DR: The network function virtualization-enabled multicast problem includes constructing traffic forwarding topology, deploying required functions and steering traffic through them and a multi-stage solution to solve it is proposed.

TL;DR: This paper forms the S2FCP2 as an ILP model and proposes a scheme to solve this model, and shows that the ILP based scheme can obtain the optimal results, but it is limited by the network size; the heuristic schemes can get good (but maybe suboptimal) results and can be easily applied to both the large-scale and small-scale network scenarios.

TL;DR: A new model for VNF scheduling based on the min-plus algebra theory is proposed to share the deployed VNF instances among different services, thus to improve the resource utilization and reduce the resource fragmentation generated by deploying many V NF instances.
