Intent-Driven Management for Multi-Vertical End-to-End Network Slicing Services

2022 IEEE Globecom Workshops
Moving forward from 5G to 6G, one critical open challenge is customer-driven and autonomous networks management. To enable autonomy in a large-scale, it is important to separate the customer-centric requirements from the detailed network-and resource-centric operations.

Dynamic Upgrade/Downgrade of WDM Link Capacity in SDN-enabled WDM VNTs over SDM Networks

2022 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC2022)
We present a WDM over SDM control system that detects overloaded/underloaded WDM links between ROADMs and provisions/removes virtual WDM links in response to dynamic traffic changes in SDN-enabled WDM VNTs over SDM Networks.

Experimental Demonstration of Transport Network Slicing with SLA Using the TeraFlowSDN Controller

2022 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC2022)
This demo presents the TeraFlowSDN controller as a solution to provide dedicated transport network slices with SLAs. To this end, the demo details how the interface between an NFV orchestrator and the SDN controller can provide transport network slices using protected disjoint paths.

Providing More Than ‘Just’ Reachability Through Semantic Networking

2022 ACM SIGCOMM - FIRA'22: Workshop on Future of Internet Routing & Addressing
The Internet has been constantly evolving beyond its original purpose to ensure the reachability between endpoints wherever they may be located.
Conferences

Towards Assessing Effects of Isolation on Determinism in Multi-Application Scenarios

2022 ACM SIGCOMM - FIRA'22: Workshop on Future of Internet Routing & Addressing
In addition to the already present heterogeneity in the network service and application ecosystem, new challenges come in the form of emerging applications which require deterministic delay performance characteristics that go beyond traditional SLAs.
Conferences

End-to-End Interdomain Transport Network Slice Management Using Cloud-based SDN Controllers

2022 27th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference (OECC) and 2022 International Conference on Photonics in Switching and Computing (PSC)
In spite of their popularity, developing secure smart contracts remains a challenging task. Existing solutions are either impractical as they do not support many complex real-world contracts or leave the burden to developers for fixing bugs.

Synthetic flow-based cryptomining attack generation through Generative Adversarial Networks

2022 - Scientific Reports, Vol. 12, Article 2091
Due to the growing rise of cyber attacks in the Internet, the demand of accurate intrusion detection systems (IDS) to prevent these vulnerabilities is increasing. To this aim, Machine Learning (ML) components have been proposed as an efficient and effective solution.

QoS-Aware Inter-Domain Connectivity: Control Plane Design and Operational Considerations

2022 - NOMS 2022 - IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium - FlexNGIA Workshop 2022
Abstract: Scenarios related to 5G and beyond give rise to a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of applications, services, and user expectations as well as more demanding QoS requirements with an end-to-end scope that can cover multiple operator domains.

Improving the quality of generative models through Smirnov transformation

2022 - Information Sciences, Vol. 609
Solving the convergence issues of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is one of the most outstanding problems in generative models. In this work, we propose a novel activation function to be used as output of the generator agent.
