Abstract

The energy consumption in telecommunication networks is expected to grow considerably, especially in core networks. In this chapter, optimization of energy consumption is approached from two directions. In a first study, multilayer traffic engineering (MLTE) is used to assign energy-efficient [...]

Abstract

Electric mobility is assuming a central role in the new world energy scenario where Renewable Energy Sources (RES) have increased their contribution to the electricity production, mainly due to the fact they are characterized by a reduced environmental impact; in the aforesaid context, [...]

Abstract

For cloud enterprise customers that require services on demand, data centers must allocate and partition data center resources in a dynamic fashion. We consider the problem in which a request from an enterprise customer is mapped to a virtual network (VN) that is allocated requiring [...]
