DRL-based Slice Placement under Realistic Network Load Conditions
José Jurandir Alves Esteves, Amina Boubendir, Fabrice Guillemin +1
We propose to demonstrate a network slice placement optimization solution based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), referred to as Heuristically-controlled DRL, which uses a heur…
On the Robustness of Controlled Deep Reinforcement Learning for Slice Placement
Jose Jurandir Alves Esteves, Amina Boubendir, Fabrice Guillemin +1
The evaluation of the impact of using Machine Learning in the management of softwarized networks is considered in multiple research works. Beyond that, we propose to evaluate the r…
DRL-based Slice Placement Under Non-Stationary Conditions
Jose Jurandir Alves Esteves, Amina Boubendir, Fabrice Guillemin +1
We consider online learning for optimal network slice placement under the assumption that slice requests arrive according to a non-stationary Poisson process. We propose a framewor…
Controlled Deep Reinforcement Learning for Optimized Slice Placement
Jose Jurandir Alves Esteves, Amina Boubendir, Fabrice Guillemin +1
We present a hybrid ML-heuristic approach that we name "Heuristically Assisted Deep Reinforcement Learning (HA-DRL)" to solve the problem of Network Slice Placement Optimization. T…
A Heuristically Assisted Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach for Network Slice Placement
Jose Jurandir Alves Esteves, Amina Boubendir, Fabrice Guillemin +1
Network Slice placement with the problem of allocation of resources from a virtualized substrate network is an optimization problem which can be formulated as a multiobjective Inte…
Edge-enabled Optimized Network Slicing in Large Scale Networks

Heuristic for Edge-enabled Network Slicing Optimization using the Power of Two Choices
Jose Jurandir Alves Esteves, Amina Boubendir, Fabrice Guillemin +1
We propose an online heuristic algorithm for the problem of network slice placement optimization. The solution is adapted to support placement on large scale networks and integrate…
Automating the deployment of 5G Network Slices with ONAP
Veronica Quintuna Rodriguez, Fabrice Guillemin, Amina Boubendir
Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) is a carrier grade platform for automatically deploying and managing Virtualized Network Functions. In this paper, we address the deployment…
