Modeling and Optimization of Cloud-Ready and Content-Oriented Networks [Paperback]

Thisbook focuses on modeling and optimization of cloud-ready and content-orientednetworks in the context of different layers and accounts for specificconstraints following from protocols andtechnologies used in a particular layer. It addresses a wide range ofadditional constraints importantin contemporary networks, including various types of network flows,survivability issues, multi-layer networking, and resource location.

Thebook presents recent existing and new results in a comprehensive and cohesiveway. The contents of the book are organized in five chapters, which are mostlyself-contained.

Chapter 1 briefly presents information oncloud computing and content-oriented services, and introduces basic notionsand concepts of network modeling and optimization. Chapter 2 covers various optimizationproblems that arise in the context of connection-oriented networks. Chapter3 focuses on modeling and optimization of Elastic Optical Networks. Chapter 4 isdevoted to overlay networks. The book concludes with Chapter 5, summarizing thebook and present recent research trends in the field of network optimization.
