The storage requirement for distributed tracing can be reduced significantly by sampling only the anomalous or interesting traces that occur rarely at runtime. In this paper, we introduce an unsupervised sampling pipeline for distributed tracing ...$$$$$$$$

Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is an important step towards achieving network automation. Many challenges of today’s complex network management systems can be tackled by the solutions proposed by IBN. However, although IBN has gained a lot of ...

With the improvement of service delay and quality requirements for new applications such as unmanned driving, internet of vehicles, and virtual reality, the deployment of network services is gradually moving from the cloud to the edge. This ...

VANET routing has become a very popular area of research as it lays the foundation for the intelligent transportation system (ITS). In VANET, the mobility of the vehicle is high hence the network is dynamic. Therefore, the connectivity between the ...

Virtual network embedding (VNE) is the process of allocating resources in a substrate (i.e. physical) network to support virtual networks optimally. The VNE problem is an NP-hard problem that has been studied for more than a decade in the ...

With the introduction of 5 G technology, various communication services are becoming integrated into more sophisticated systems, such as Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) and Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC). The goal is ...

Software-defined networks (SDN) rely on flow tables to forward packets from different flows with different policies. To speed up packet forwarding, the rules in the flow table should reside in the forwarding plane as much as possible to reduce the ...

Yearly, the rates of Internet penetration are on the rise, surpassing 80% in developed nations. Despite this progress, over two billion individuals in rural and low-income regions face a complete absence of Internet access. This lack of ...

This research work analyzes economic alternatives for the provision of ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) and enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services by mobile network operators over the same fifth-generation (5G) network. Two ...

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) facilitate vehicle to everything (V2X) communication between vehicles and road side units (RSU) to exchange safety and alert messages required for the successful implementation of VANET applications. However, ...

In the fog computing-based Internet of Things (IoT) architecture, the sensor devices represent the basic elements needed to sense the surrounding environment. They gather and send a huge amount of data to the fog gateway and then to the cloud due ...

The increasing use of intelligent devices connected to the internet has contributed to the introduction of a new paradigm: the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is a set of devices connected via the internet that cooperate to achieve a specific ...

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a new technology that allows service providers to improve the cost efficiency of network service provisioning. This is accomplished by decoupling the network functions from the physical environment within ...

Large Language Models (LLM) continue to demonstrate their utility in a variety of emergent capabilities in different fields. An area that could benefit from effective language understanding in cybersecurity is the analysis of log files. This work ...

Smart contracts are decentralized applications that hold a pivotal role in blockchain-based systems. Smart contracts are composed of error-prone programming languages, so it is affected by many vulnerabilities (e.g., time dependence, outdated ...

Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology enables the replenishment of rechargeable battery energy by the sensor nodes (SNs) in wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs). The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as flying chargers to ...

This work describes an approach to enhance container orchestration platforms with an autonomous and dynamic rescheduling system that aims at improving application service time by co-locating highly interdependent containers for network delay ...

The Cloud Gaming sector is burgeoning with an estimated annual growth of more than 50%, poised to reach a market value of $22 billion by 2030, and notably, GeForce Now, launched in 2020, reached 20 million users by August 2022. Cloud gaming ...

Proprietary communication technologies for time-critical communication in industrial environments are being gradually replaced by Time-sensitive Networking (TSN)-enabled Ethernet. Furthermore, attempts have been made to bring TSN features into ...

In this work, we investigate Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-aided Full-Duplex (FD)-Simultaneous Wireless Information Power Transfer (SWIPT)-Cooperative non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (C-NOMA) consisting of two paired devices. The device ...${}_{\mathrm{}}$${}_{\mathrm{}}$${}_{\mathrm{}}$

In Agrifood scenarios, where farmers need to ensure that their produce is safely produced, transported, and stored, they rely on a network of IoT devices to monitor conditions such as temperature and humidity throughout the supply chain. However, ...
