  text: "In practical, large-scale networks, services are requested\r\nby users across
    the globe, e.g., for video streaming.\r\nServices consist of multiple interconnected
    components such as\r\nmicroservices in a service mesh. Coordinating these services\r\nrequires
    scaling them according to continuously changing user\r\ndemand, deploying instances
    at the edge close to their users,\r\nand routing traffic efficiently between users
    and connected instances.\r\nNetwork and service coordination is commonly addressed\r\nthrough
    centralized approaches, where a single coordinator\r\nknows everything and coordinates
    the entire network globally.\r\nWhile such centralized approaches can reach global
    optima, they\r\ndo not scale to large, realistic networks. In contrast, distributed\r\napproaches
    scale well, but sacrifice solution quality due to their\r\nlimited scope of knowledge
    and coordination decisions.\r\n\r\nTo this end, we propose a hierarchical coordination
    approach\r\nthat combines the good solution quality of centralized approaches\r\nwith
    the scalability of distributed approaches. In doing so, we divide\r\nthe network
    into multiple hierarchical domains and optimize\r\ncoordination in a top-down
    manner. We compare our hierarchical\r\nwith a centralized approach in an extensive
    evaluation on a real-world\r\nnetwork topology. Our results indicate that hierarchical\r\ncoordination
    can find close-to-optimal solutions in a fraction of\r\nthe runtime of centralized
    approaches."

  text: Network and service coordination is important to provide modern services consisting
    of multiple interconnected components, e.g., in 5G, network function virtualization
    (NFV), or cloud and edge computing. In this paper, I outline my dissertation research,
    which proposes six approaches to automate such network and service coordination.
    All approaches dynamically react to the current demand and optimize coordination
    for high service quality and low costs. The approaches range from centralized
    to distributed methods and from conventional heuristic algorithms and mixed-integer
    linear programs to machine learning approaches using supervised and reinforcement
    learning. I briefly discuss their main ideas and advantages over other state-of-the-art
    approaches and compare strengths and weaknesses.

  text: "Modern services consist of modular, interconnected\r\ncomponents, e.g., microservices
    forming a service mesh. To\r\ndynamically adjust to ever-changing service demands,
    service\r\ncomponents have to be instantiated on nodes across the network.\r\nIncoming
    flows requesting a service then need to be routed\r\nthrough the deployed instances
    while considering node and link\r\ncapacities. Ultimately, the goal is to maximize
    the successfully\r\nserved flows and Quality of Service (QoS) through online service\r\ncoordination.
    Current approaches for service coordination are\r\nusually centralized, assuming
    up-to-date global knowledge and\r\nmaking global decisions for all nodes in the
    network. Such global\r\nknowledge and centralized decisions are not realistic
    in practical\r\nlarge-scale networks.\r\n\r\nTo solve this problem, we propose
    two algorithms for fully\r\ndistributed service coordination. The proposed algorithms
    can be\r\nexecuted individually at each node in parallel and require only\r\nvery
    limited global knowledge. We compare and evaluate both\r\nalgorithms with a state-of-the-art
    centralized approach in extensive\r\nsimulations on a large-scale, real-world
    network topology.\r\nOur results indicate that the two algorithms can compete
    with\r\ncentralized approaches in terms of solution quality but require\r\nless
    global knowledge and are magnitudes faster (more than\r\n100x)."

  text: "Modern services comprise interconnected components,\r\ne.g., microservices
    in a service mesh, that can scale and\r\nrun on multiple nodes across the network
    on demand. To process\r\nincoming traffic, service components have to be instantiated
    and\r\ntraffic assigned to these instances, taking capacities and changing\r\ndemands
    into account. This challenge is usually solved with\r\ncustom approaches designed
    by experts. While this typically\r\nworks well for the considered scenario, the
    models often rely\r\non unrealistic assumptions or on knowledge that is not available\r\nin
    practice (e.g., a priori knowledge).\r\n\r\nWe propose a novel deep reinforcement
    learning approach that\r\nlearns how to best coordinate services and is geared
    towards\r\nrealistic assumptions. It interacts with the network and relies on\r\navailable,
    possibly delayed monitoring information. Rather than\r\ndefining a complex model
    or an algorithm how to achieve an\r\nobjective, our model-free approach adapts
    to various objectives\r\nand traffic patterns. An agent is trained offline without
    expert\r\nknowledge and then applied online with minimal overhead. Compared\r\nto
    a state-of-the-art heuristic, it significantly improves flow\r\nthroughput and
    overall network utility on real-world network\r\ntopologies and traffic traces.
    It also learns to optimize different\r\nobjectives, generalizes to scenarios with
    unseen, stochastic traffic\r\npatterns, and scales to large real-world networks."

  text: "As 5G and network function virtualization (NFV) are maturing, it becomes
    crucial to demonstrate their feasibility and benefits by means of vertical scenarios.
    While 5GPPP has identified smart manufacturing as one of the most important vertical
    industries, there is still a lack of specific, practical use cases. \r\n\r\nUsing
    the experience from a large-scale manufacturing company, Weidm{\\\"u}ller Group,
    we present a detailed use case that reflects the needs of real-world manufacturers.
    We also propose an architecture with specific network services and virtual network
    functions (VNFs) that realize the use case in practice. As a proof of concept,
    we implement the required services and deploy them on an emulation-based prototyping
    platform. Our experimental results indicate that a fully virtualized smart manufacturing
    use case is not only feasible but also reduces machine interconnection and configuration
    time and thus improves productivity by orders of magnitude."

  text: Service Level Agreements are essential tools enabling clients and telco operators
    to specify required quality of service. The 5GTANGO NFV platform enables SLAs
    through policies and custom service lifecycle management components. This allows
    the operator to trigger certain lifecycle management events for a service, and
    the network service developer to define how to execute such events (e.g., how
    to scale). In this demo we will demonstrate this unique 5GTANGO concept using
    an elastic proxy service supported by a high availability SLA enforced through
    a range of traffic regimes.

  text: "Building on 5G and network function virtualization (NFV), smart manufacturing
    has the potential to drastically increase productivity, reduce cost, and introduce
    novel, flexible manufacturing services. Current work mostly focuses on high-level
    scenarios or emulation-based prototype deployments. \r\n\r\nExtending our previous
    work, we showcase one of the first cloud-native 5G verticals focusing on the deployment
    of smart manufacturing use cases on production infrastructure. In particular,
    we use the 5GTANGO service platform to deploy our developed network services on
    Kubernetes. For this demo, we implemented a series of cloud-native virtualized
    network functions (VNFs) and created suitable service descriptors. Their light-weight,
    stateless deployment on Kubernetes enables quick instantiation, scalability, and
    robustness."
