European Annual Journal 2019

The Fourth issue of the EU 5G European Annual released in May 2019 can be downloaded here.

A synopsis of the aims and achievements of the SliceNet project can be viewed on page 70 of the Annual.

The aim of this fourth edition of the European 5G Annual Journal is to present an analysis of the 5G ecosystem evolution over the past year. It presents the achievements of phase 2 5G PPP projects ending in 2019 and August 2020 (of which SliceNet is one such project) and phase 3 5G PPP projects, which started in 2018.

Skydive Noisy Neighbour Detection used in SliceNet eHealth use case

The cloud has multiple tenants, meaning that one architecture hosts multiple customers’ applications and data. The “noisy neighbour” effect occurs when an application or virtual machine overuses the available resources, causing network performance issues for others on the shared infrastructure. When one application or instance uses too much data or bandwidth, other applications suffer from slow speeds or latency. This problem can affect web hosting, databases, networks, storage and servers.

Last semester, the IBM Research Lab in Haifa cooperated with the Technion Israel Institute of Technology to develop a project in which the students investigated the problem of detecting noisy neighbours in a network using Skydive analyzer.  (more…)

SliceNet meeting in Pagani, Italy

Alessandro Pane, Head of Ericsson R&D Italy

From 2nd to 4th April 2019 the SliceNet project meeting is taking place at Ericsson Italy in Pagani, between Mount Vesuvius and the City of Salerno. On 3rd April, Alessandro  Pane,  Head  of  Ericsson  R&D  Italy, demonstrated his great interest in SliceNet by participating in the meeting. In his presentation he talked about the relevance of SliceNet in the context of Ericsson Italy’s overall R&D activities related to 5G and network management.

Supporting QoE/QoS-aware end-to-end network slicing in future 5G-enabled optical networks

On the last February 5 2019, Salvatore Spadaro from UPC presented the paper entitled “Supporting QoE/QoS-aware end-to-end network slicing in future 5G-enabled optical networks” at the Photonic West 2019 conference, held in San Francisco (US) on February 2-7, 2019. In particular, the paper presents an architecture design enabling network slice provisioning for 5G service chaining in multi-segment/multi-domain optical network scenarios. The design is enriched with an actuation framework able to maintain the desired QoS for the provisioned end-to-end network slice.
