Description du livre
This
book focuses on modeling and optimization of cloud-ready and content-oriented
networks in the context of different layers and accounts for specific
constraints following from protocols and
technologies used in a particular layer. It addresses a wide range of
additional constraints important
in contemporary networks, including various types of network flows,
survivability issues, multi-layer networking, and resource location.
The
book presents recent existing and new results in a comprehensive and cohesive
way. The contents of the book are organized in five chapters, which are mostly
self-contained.
Chapter 1 briefly presents information on
cloud computing and content-oriented services, and introduces basic notions
and concepts of network modeling and optimization. Chapter 2 covers various optimization
problems that arise in the context of connection-oriented networks. Chapter
3 focuses on modeling and optimization of Elastic Optical Networks. Chapter 4 is
devoted to overlay networks. The book concludes with Chapter 5, summarizing the
book and present recent research trends in the field of network optimization.
