Building on the adoption of the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigms, 5G networks promise distinctive features including the capability to support multi-tenancy. Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) are expected to co-exist over the shared infrastructure, realizing their network functionality on top of virtualized resources. In this context, we observe...
Network functions virtualization (NFV) opens up a new ability of network enablement through agile network DevOps to design, develop, and test new services and to provide ongoing updates of existing services. This paper proposes a tool and methodology to aid the NFV designer to rapidly design and onboard new services and applications. Although the main focus is on the service design and onboarding,...
Software-Defined Network (SDN) is an emerging network paradigm which enables flexible network management by separating control plane from data plane. Due to the centralized management scheme that SDN adopts, intensive control plane overhead incurs as the scale of SDN increases. One way of alleviating the overhead is to either distribute the overhead to multiple controllers, or offload the overhead...
This paper presents the situation of the medical equipment management under the Department of Health of Bahia (SESAB), since the implementation of the Directorate of Science, Technology and Innovation in Health (DITEC). The article describes a specific set of actions to enhance management of medical equipment at the SESAB's Central Level and on its health care units.
Management of the northern Gulf of Mexico large hypoxic zone is driven primarily by the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force (?Hypoxia Task Force?) Action Plan. Both the 2001 and revised 2008 Action Plans called for a reduction in the average areal extent of the hypoxic zone to 5000 km2 by the year 2015, less than 1/3 the current typical annual maximum area. To achieve this...
