With the advent of revolutionary technologies, such as virtualization and softwarization, a novel concept for 5G networks and beyond has been unveiled: Network Slicing. Initially d…
SARDO: An Automated Search-and-Rescue Drone-based Solution for Victims Localization
Antonio Albanese, Vincenzo Sciancalepore, Xavier Costa-Pérez
Natural disasters affect millions of people every year. Finding missing persons in the shortest possible time is of crucial importance to reduce the death toll. This task is especi…
Smart City IoT Services Creation through Large Scale Collaboration
Flavio Cirillo, David Gómez, Luis Diez +3
Smart cities solutions are often monolithically implemented, from sensors data handling through to the provided services. The same challenges are regularly faced by different devel…
On the Optimization of Multi-Cloud Virtualized Radio Access Networks
Fahri Wisnu Murti, Andres Garcia-Saavedra, Xavier Costa-Perez +1
We study the important and challenging problem of virtualized radio access network (vRAN) design in its most general form. We develop an optimization framework that decides the num…
HAMLET -- A Learning Curve-Enabled Multi-Armed Bandit for Algorithm Selection
Mischa Schmidt, Julia Gastinger, Sébastien Nicolas +1
Automated algorithm selection and hyperparameter tuning facilitates the application of machine learning. Traditional multi-armed bandit strategies look to the history of observed r…
Multiservice-based Network Slicing Orchestration with Impatient Tenants
Bin Han, Vincenzo Sciancalepore, Xavier Costa-Perez +2
The combination of recent emerging technologies such as network function virtualization (NFV) and network programmability (SDN) gave birth to the novel Network Slicing paradigm. 5G…
Efficient and Scalable Multi-task Regression on Massive Number of Tasks
Xiao He, Francesco Alesiani, Ammar Shaker
Many real-world large-scale regression problems can be formulated as Multi-task Learning (MTL) problems with a massive number of tasks, as in retail and transportation domains. How…
Knowledge Graph Completion to Predict Polypharmacy Side Effects
Brandon Malone, Alberto García-Durán, Mathias Niepert
The polypharmacy side effect prediction problem considers cases in which two drugs taken individually do not result in a particular side effect; however, when the two drugs are tak…
On the Fly Orchestration of Unikernels: Tuning and Performance Evaluation of Virtual Infrastructure Managers
Pier Luigi Ventre, Paolo Lungaroni, Giuseppe Siracusano +4
