  text: Supporting the vast variety of network services’ management and orchestration
    requirements is one of the main challenges that Network Function Virtualization
    (NFV) is dealing with. While general management requirements such as Virtual Network
    Function (VNF) resource requirements can be specified by the service developers
    using service descriptors, specific management operations like VNF-specific configuration
    cannot be performed by these descriptors. On the other hand, it is inefficient
    and also very challenging for Management and Orchestration (MANO) frameworks to
    provide all specific-management operations for every individual network service
    and their constituent VNFs. To mitigate this issue, we propose the use of service-specific
    programs called Specific Managers (SMs) that can customize management and orchestration
    of network services and also extend the capability of MANO frameworks to support
    per-service management and orchestration. The results of our evaluation show that
    the higher flexibility and programmability enabled by SMs improve the performance
    of the service performance and also utilises the service provider resources more
    efficiently.

  text: "Developing cloud applications using a microservice architecture allows their
    functional blocks to be distributed and\r\ndeployed on multiple Cloud infrastructures.
    This enables service providers to mix and match Cloud-based microservices and
    Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) that are provided by Network Function Virtualization
    (NFV). Provisioning complex services containing VNFs and Cloud-based microservices
    across NFV and cloud infrastructures can enhance service quality, reduce latency,
    and optimise cost. This can be provided by an orchestration system that can handle
    cross-ecosystem dependencies. To this end, we implemented Pishahang that is a
    framework for jointly managing and orchestrating virtual network functions and
    Cloud-based microservices. During the demo, we deploy several complex services
    to demonstrate features provided by Pishahang to support management and orchestration
    of complex services."

  text: "Dynamically steering flows through virtualized net- work function instances
    is a key enabler for elastic, on-demand deployments of virtualized network functions.
    This becomes par- ticular challenging when stateful functions are involved, necessi-
    tating state management. The problem with existing solutions is that they typically
    embrace state migration and flow rerouting jointly, imposing a huge set of requirements
    on the on-boarded VNFs, e.g., solution-specific state management interfaces.\r\nIn
    this paper, we introduce the seamless handover proto- col (SHarP). It provides
    an easy-to-use, loss-less, and order- preserving flow rerouting mechanism that
    is not fixed to a single state management approach. This allows VNF vendors to
    implement or use the state management solution of their choice. SHarP supports
    these solutions with additional information when flows are migrated. Further,
    we show how SHarP significantly reduces the buffer usage at a central (SDN) controller,
    which is a typical bottleneck in existing solutions. Our experiments show that
    SHarP uses a constant amount of controller buffer, irrespective of the time taken
    to migrate the VNF state."

  text: "Management and orchestration~(MANO) systems are the key components of future
    large-scale NFV environments. They will manage resources of hundreds or even thousands
    of NFV infrastructure installations, so called points of presence~(PoP). Such
    scenarios need to be automatically tested during the development phase of a MANO
    system. This task becomes very challenging because large-scale NFV testbeds are
    hard to maintain, too expensive, or simply not available.\r\n\r\nIn this paper,
    we present a multi-PoP NFV infrastructure emulation platform that enables automated,
    large-scale testing of MANO stacks. We show that our platform can easily emulate
    hundreds of PoPs on a single physical machine and reduces the setup time of a
    test PoP by a factor of 232x compared to a DevStack-based test PoP installation.
    Further, we present a case study in which we test ETSI's Open Source MANO~(OSM)
    against our proposed system  to gain insights about OSM's behaviour in large-scale
    NFV deployments."

  text: To adapt to continuously changing workloads in networks, components of the
    running network services may need to be replicated (scaling the network service)
    and allocated to physical resources (placement) dynamically, also necessitating
    dynamic re-routing of flows between service components. In this paper, we propose
    JASPER, a fully automated approach to jointly optimizing scaling, placement, and
    routing for complex network services, consisting of multiple (virtualized) components.
    JASPER handles multiple network services that share the same substrate network;
    services can be dynamically added or removed and dynamic workload changes are
    handled. Our approach lets service designers specify their services on a high
    level of abstraction using service templates. JASPER automatically makes scaling,
    placement and routing decisions, enabling quick reaction to changes. We formalize
    the problem, analyze its complexity, and develop two algorithms to solve it. Extensive
    empirical results show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

  text: "Dynamic allocation of resources is a key feature in network function virtualization
    (NFV), enabling flexible adjustment of slices and contained network services to
    ever-changing service demands. \r\nConsidering resource allocation across the
    entire network, many authors have proposed approaches to optimize the placement
    and chaining of virtual network function (VNF) instances and the allocation of
    resources to these VNF instances. In doing so, various optimization objectives
    are conceivable, e.g., minimizing certain required resources or the end-to-end
    delay of the placed services.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we investigate the relationship
    between four typical optimization objectives when coordinating the placement and
    resource allocation of chained VNF instances. We observe an interesting trade-off
    between minimizing the overhead of starting/stopping VNF instances and all other
    objectives when adapting to changed service demands."

  text: "In recent years, a variety of different approaches\r\nhave been proposed
    to tackle the problem of scaling and placing\r\nnetwork services, consisting of
    interconnected virtual network\r\nfunctions (VNFs). This paper presents a placement
    abstraction\r\nlayer (PAL) that provides a clear and simple northbound interface\r\nfor
    using such algorithms while hiding their internal\r\nfunctionality and implementation.
    Through its southbound interface,\r\nPAL can connect to different back ends that
    evaluate\r\nthe calculated placements, e.g., using simulations, emulations, or\r\ntestbed
    approaches. As an example for such evaluation back ends,\r\nwe introduce a novel
    placement emulation framework (PEF)\r\nthat allows executing calculated placements
    using real, containerbased\r\nVNFs on real-world network topologies. In a case
    study,\r\nwe show how PAL and PEF facilitate reusing and evaluating\r\nplacement
    algorithms as well as validating their underlying\r\nmodels and performance claims."

  text: "A key challenge of network function virtualization\r\n(NFV) is the complexity
    of developing and deploying new\r\nnetwork services. Currently, development requires
    many manual\r\nsteps that are time-consuming and error-prone (e.g., for creating\r\nservice
    descriptors). Furthermore, existing management and\r\norchestration (MANO) platforms
    only offer limited support of\r\nstandardized descriptor models or package formats,
    limiting the\r\nre-usability of network services.\r\n\r\nTo this end, we introduce
    a fully integrated, open-source\r\nNFV service development kit (SDK) with multi-MANO
    platform\r\nsupport. Our SDK simplifies many NFV service development\r\nsteps
    by offering initial generation of descriptors, advanced\r\nproject management,
    as well as fully automated packaging and\r\nsubmission for on-boarding. To achieve
    multi-platform support,\r\nwe present a package format that extends ETSI’s VNF
    package\r\nformat. In this demonstration, we present the end-to-end workflow\r\nto
    develop an NFV service that is then packaged for multiple\r\nplatforms, i.e.,
    5GTANGO and OSM."

  text: Recent studies show the increasing popularity of distributed cloud applications,
    which are composed of multiple microservices. Besides their known benefits, microservice
    architecture also enables to mix and match cloud applications and Network Function
    Virtualization (NFV) services (service chains), which are composed of Virtual
    Network Functions (VNFs). Provisioning complex services containing VNFs and microservices
    in a combined NFV/cloud platform can enhance service quality and optimise cost.
    Such a platform can be based on the multi-cloud concept. However, current multi-cloud
    solutions do not support NFV requirements, making them inadequate to support complex
    services. In this paper, we investigate these challenges and propose a solution
    for jointly managing and orchestrating microservices and virtual network functions.

  text: "Signal processing in WASNs is based on a software framework for hosting the
    algorithms as well as on a set of wireless connected devices representing the
    hardware. Each of the nodes contributes memory, processing power, communication
    bandwidth and some sensor information for the tasks to be solved on the network.
    \r\nIn this paper we present our MARVELO framework for distributed signal processing.
    It is intended for transforming existing centralized implementations into distributed
    versions. To this end, the software only needs a block-oriented implementation,
    which MARVELO picks-up and distributes on the network. Additionally, our sensor
    node hardware and the audio interfaces responsible for multi-channel recordings
    are presented."

  text: Network function virtualization and software-defined networking allow services
    consisting of virtual network functions to be designed and implemented with great
    flexibility by facilitating automatic deployments, migrations, and reconfigurations
    for services and their components. For extended flexibility, we go beyond seeing
    services as a fixed chain of functions. We define the service structure in a flexible
    way that enables changing the order of functions in case the functionality of
    the service is not influenced by this, and propose a YANG data model for expressing
    this flexibility. Flexible structures allow the network orchestration system to
    choose the optimal composition of service components that for example gives the
    best results for placement of services in the network. When number of flexible
    services and number of components in each service increase, combinatorial explosion
    limits the practical use of this flexibility. In this paper, we describe a selection
    heuristic that gives a Pareto set of the possible compositions of a service as
    well as possible combinations of different services, with respect to different
    optimization objectives. Moreover, we present a heuristic algorithm for placement
    of a combination of services, which aims at placing service components along shortest
    paths that have enough capacity for accommodating the services. By applying these
    solutions, we show that allowing flexibility in the service structure is feasible.

  text: 'A current trend in networking and cloud computing is to provide compute resources
    at widely distributed sites; this is exemplified by developments such as Network
    Function Virtualisation. This paves the way for wide-area service deployments
    with improved service quality: e.g. user-perceived response times can be reduced
    by offering services at nearby sites. But always assigning users to the nearest
    site can be a bad decision if this site is already highly utilised. This paper
    formalises two related decisions of allocating compute resources at different
    sites and assigning users to them with the goal of minimising the response times
    while the total number of resources to be allocated is limited – a non-linear
    capacitated Facility Location Problem with integrated queuing systems. To efficiently
    handle its non-linearity, we introduce five linear problem linearisations and
    adapt the currently best heuristic for a similar scenario to our scenario. All
    six approaches are compared in experiments for solution quality and solving time.
    Surprisingly, our best optimisation formulation outperforms the heuristic in both
    time and quality. Additionally, we evaluate the influence of distributions of
    available compute resources in the network on the response time: The time was
    halved for some configurations. The presented formulation techniques for our problem
    linearisations are applicable to a broader optimisation domain.'
