Description of the research topic:

The virtualization and softwarization of modern computer networks enables the definition and fast deployment of novel network services called service chains: sequences of virtualized network functions (e.g., firewalls, caches, traffic optimizers) through which traffic is routed between source and destination.
Modern computer networks also offer new flexibilities in terms of how traffic can be routed through such network functions. In particular, using SoftwareDefined Networking (SDN) technology, traffic can be steered along arbitrary routes satifying certain constraints, which depend on the application. These trends enable the realization of new in-network communication services called service chains. Such advanced network services open new opportunities, for example, for Internet Service Providers, which can become “miniature cloud providers”, specialized for in-network processing.
Developing optimization methods and algorithmic techniques in this field for various objectives is a new challanging topic.
