The high competition among network providers places a demand for new ways to design network services with near zero development time, low cost, and high degrees of customization an...
This poster discusses methods to characterize the resilience of networks to a number of challenges and attacks, with the goal of developing quantifiable metrics to determine the de...

Emerging high-end applications require a rich set of network provisioning services that go beyond the traditional source-destination, end-to-end path service. They also require hig...
Emerging telecommunication services use, store, or transmit sensitive personal data to form individual network services. We suggest an add-on approach to realize secure telecommun...
Network service provisioning involves the control of network resources through signaling, routing and management protocols that achieve Quality of Service and Traffic Engineering ...
We propose a network service framework where common network functions such as routing and multicast can be customized on a per-application basis. Network service customization is ...
We describe a new network service, the “ticket server”. This service provides “tickets” that a client can attach to a request for a network service (such as sending email o...
This paper proposes an evolutionary framework where a network service is created from a group of autonomous agents that interact and evolve. Agents in our framework are capable of ...
