TL;DR: A model transformation framework is presented to automatically include the architectural impact and the overhead incurred by using a middleware layer between several system components and can be used to obtain performance models of the system.

TL;DR: It is shown that carbon footprint reductions are possible, but that these are highly dependent on the approach and parameters involved, especially the manufacturing footprint and the geographical region.

TL;DR: Through the disappearance of network boundaries and the introduction of cross-layer/cross-node/ cross-network cooperation, symbiotic networks takes the notion of cooperation to a new level, paving the way for a true network symbiosis.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a set of distributed replica placement algorithms (RPAs), based on an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation of the centralized content placement problem, which further enhance the CDN performance by optimizing the network and server load, reducing network delays and avoiding congestion.

TL;DR: Optical packet switching (OPS) has been proposed as a strong candidate for future metro networks as mentioned in this paper, and its feasibility is discussed from a physical layer point of view, and its limitations in size are explored.
