TL;DR: This paper formulates the online virtual function mapping and scheduling problem and proposes a set of algorithms for solving it and proposes three greedy algorithms and a tabu search-based heuristic.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a graph neural network-based algorithm which exploits VNF forwarding graph topology information to predict future resource requirements for each VNF component (VNFC).

TL;DR: This paper proposes a policy continuum model and accompanying policy authoring process that demonstrates the key properties that set a continuum apart from a non-hierarchical policy model and presents a policy conflict analysis algorithm that leverages the information model, making it applicable to arbitrary applications and continuum levels.

TL;DR: This paper describes a new version of the DEN-ng policy model, which is part of the FOCALE autonomic network architecture, and is built using three guiding principles: the policy model is rooted in information models, so that it can govern managed entities, and the model is expressly constructed to facilitate the generation of ontologies.

TL;DR: This paper describes a new version of the Directory Enabled Networks next generation (DEN-ng) policy model, which is part of the FOCALE autonomic network architecture.
