VNET's first goal is to begin a long term collaboration between France, Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay around technological and scientific solutions for next generation networks. Structured in four themes, in VNET we will study the end-to-end “network cloudification”. In particular, we will study the virtualization of radio access networks and related interference management problems in the context of random access networks. We will also study the challenges related to service composition and dependability issues using SDN and NFV using heuristics, such as Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedures (GRASP), Simulated Annealing, Genetic algorithms and Local Search. We will study as well the concept of NaaS and design a platform with the associated tools that will allow the specification, validation, deployment and management of on-demand, end-to-end compound networking and computing services. And, finally, we will study the applicability of the MAPE (monitor, analysis, planning, execution) framework to cloudified networks management.

The project is divided in four themes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
*[Coexistence and isolation requirements of virtual radio access networks (VRAN)](theme1)
|
|
|
*[SDN and NFV composition, resilience, and recovery (SDN/NFV)](theme2)
|
|
|
*[NaaS Cloud Infrastructure for on-demand virtualized networking and computing services (NaaS))](theme3)
|
|
|
*[ MAPE (monitor, analysis, planning, execution) in cloudified networks (Mgmt)](theme4) |
