The emergence of 5G wireless and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, as well as the continuous evolution of cloud computing is driving the need for easy and on-demand creation of end-to-end network services. We have developed an integrated system called the end-to-end network service orchestrator, which realizes seamless service orchestration across multiple on-premises and cloud infrastructures...
Real network traffic is mostly generated by an interactive session between applications, thus we feel that there is a strong demand for a solution capable to reproduce these interactive application workloads. For this purpose, we propose a new strategy for generating realistic network traffic and interactive application workloads using container technology. In this article, we also demonstrate why...
Lightweight virtualization, as implemented by application container solutions such as Docker, have the potential to revolutionize the way multi-tier applications are developed and deployed, especially in the cloud. The success of application containers can be partly attributed to their ability to share resources with the underlying platform that hosts them. As such, the isolation provided by such...
Some recent works propose to extend network devices (e.g., routers) with the possibility to execute additional user-provisioned software operating on the data-plane. This enables network devices to be enriched with new functionalities, potentially decided at run-time directly by the end users. This paper focuses on one of such programmable routing platform and presents our experience in developing...
Graphical user interfaces are difficult to test: automated tests are hard to create and maintain, while manual tests are time-consuming, expensive and hard to integrate in a continuous testing process. In this paper, we show that it is possible to crowd source GUI tests, that is, to outsource them to individuals drawn from a large pool of workers on the Internet, by instantiating virtual machines...
This paper describes the design and implementation of a virtualized information and communications technology (ICT) resource management system called “Management Engine” (ME) for carrier network services to realize flexible service operation and dynamic resource accommodation between multiple services in the cloud computing era. To facilitate network services using virtualized ICT resources in a carrier...
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are currently among the most important technologies for wireless access. In order to exploit their full potential, wireless networks need to be planned carefully. However, chaotic unplanned Access Point (AP) placement are becoming the norm rather than an exception and causing interference among APs in the real environment. Interferences among APs often decrease...
Recently, there have been extensive studies on home networks, mainly undertaken by the home appliance industry. Service programs and device control programs of current home network systems are dependent on vendors and devices. In this study, we virtualize each home network device so that it can be considered to contain a number of logical devices, and propose a new software configuration based on...
The number of smartphone users and mobile application offerings are growing rapidly. A smartphone is often expected to offer PC-like functionality. In this paper, we present Virtual Smartphone over IP system that allows users to create virtual smartphone images in the mobile cloud and to customize each image to meet different needs. Users can easily and freely tap into the power of the data center...
