Research summary. |
A model is a lie that helps you get at the truth. |
My activity is focused on modelling and high-performance solving of resource allocation problems in wired and wireless networks.
I am currently leading the Computer Networks (ComNet) Research Group at the University of Stavanger. My current research activity regards: - orchestration in Software-Defined 5G Networks - Network Slicing and 5G MEC - Smart City (Advisory Council member of the UiS Smart City Research Network) My past research activity mainly regarded: - dependability in SDN and NFV; - "Green Networking" techniques, in particular the energy-aware routing and network design in both wired and wireless environments; - Internet connectivity sharing and content offloading in Residential Community Networks; - power consumption measurement of network devices; - modelling and evaluating of energy-efficient mechanisms for single network devices; - design and analysis of Service Overlay Network topologies. |
