Der volle Inhalt der QuelleNetwork service providers have to cope with the growing on-demand need from end-users as well as the diversity of usage. The "softwerization" and "loudification" of the network components offer a promising solution to achieve the agility necessary to dynamically match the servcice requirements with the level of resource consumption. Cloud-based solutions promises an economy of scale and simpler management. Virtualizing the many network appliances offers the flexibility to adapt to the varying service demand. This materializes with the deployment of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) where Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) may be chained together to create network services. This dissertation studies the resource allocation problem in an NFV system for minimizing its cost under constraints on interconnectivity among VNFs, system resources, and service requirements. The main consideration is the reduction of the overall deployment cost while efficiently utilizing the available resources. In addition, a number of other important constraints are considered such as migration and congestion. Our first goal is to increase our understanding of the performance of an NFV system with respect to network functions placement and routing. We formalize the problem in a comprehensive maner taking into account a broad set of relevant parameters. The static (OFFLINE) and dynamic (ONLINE) cases are considered. We propose and analyze three heuristic algorithms: two for handling large dimensions of the OFFLINE problem and one designed to address the ONLINE scenario. The results show that our solution outperforms the state of the art with respect to critical performance index. We also evaluate the impact of migrating a set of running demands, and propose a simple migration technique for the dynamic system. We extend this work by proposing a simpler model to improve the performance of our solution. The second part of our work focuses on minimizing the resource utilization of an NFV system. The main distinctive point is that we can apply the model to a dynamic system with large instances. Moreover, we also provide an interesting method for generating some strong inequalities to improve the Linear Programming (LP) solving in a higher dimensional space. The obtained results are not only making the model easier but also can be used efficiently in other models. A third contribution focuses specifically on the routing problem in NFV. An important evolution of the users’ needs is represented by the dynamic on-demand access to network, vstorage and compute resources. Therefore, routing efficiently a demand across nodes handling the functions involved in a given service chain constitutes the a novel problem that we address in this last section. We provide an original formulation of this problem based on the construction of an expanded network. We derive the exact mathematical formulation and propose several approximate algorithms taking into account the main system’s parameters. We conclude by deriving some interesting insights both about the algorithms and the network performance. We finally conclude with our main findings and highlight many avenues for future work

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleTraditional networks are based on an ever-growing variety of network functions that run on proprietary hardware devices called middleboxes. Designing these vendor-specific appliances and deploying them is very complex, costly and time-consuming. Moreover, with the ever-increasing and heterogeneous short-term services requirements, service providers have to scale up their physical infrastructure periodically, which results in high CAPEX and OPEX. This traditional paradigm leads to network ossification and high complexity in network management and services provisioning to address emerging use cases. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has attracted notable attention as a promising paradigm to tackle such challenges by decoupling network functions from the underlying proprietary hardware and implementing them as software, named Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), able to work on inexpensive commodity hardware. These VNFs can be arranged and chained together in a predefined order, the so-called Service Function chaining (SFC), to provide end-to-end services. Despite all the benefits associated with the new paradigm, NFV comes with the challenge of how to place the functions of the users' requested services within the physical network while providing the same resiliency as if a dedicated infrastructure were used, given that commodity hardware is less reliable than the dedicated one. This problem becomes particularly challenging when service requests have to be fulfilled as soon as they arise (i.e., in an online manner). In light of these new challenges, we propose new solutions to tackle the problem of online SFC placement while ensuring the robustness of the placed services against physical failures in data-center (DC) topologies. Although recovery solutions exist, they still require time in which the impacted services will be unavailable while taking smart placement decisions can help in avoiding the need for reacting against simple network failures. First, we provide a comprehensive study on how the placement choices can affect the overall robustness of the placed services. Based on this study we propose a deterministic solution applicable when the service provider has full knowledge and control on the infrastructure. Thereafter, we move from this deterministic solution to a stochastic approach for the case where SFCs are requested by tenants oblivious to the physical DC network, where users only have to provide the SFC they want to place and the required availability level (e.g., 5 nines). We simulated several solutions and the evaluation results show the effectiveness of our algorithms and the feasibility of our propositions in very large scale data center topologies, which make it possible to use them in a productive environment. All these solutions work well in trusted environments with a central authority that controls the infrastructure. However, in some cases, many enterprises need to collaborate together in order to run tenants' application, e.g., MapReduce applications. In such a scenario, we move to a completely untrusted decentralized environment with no trust guarantees in the presence of not only byzantine nodes but also rational nodes. We considered the case of MapReduce applications in such an environment and present an adapted MapReduce framework called MARS, which is able to work correctly in such a context without the need of any trusted third party. Our simulations show that MARS grants the execution integrity in MapReduce linearly with the number of byzantine nodes in the system

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleOver the next five years, the new generation of mobile networks (5G) would face a significant growth of the data volume, exchanged between billions of connected objects and applications. Furthermore, the emergence of new technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous driving and augmented reality, imposes higher performance and quality of service (QoS) requirements. Meeting these requirements, while reducing the Capital and Operation Expenditures (CAPEX/OPEX), are the pursued goals of the mobile operators. Consequently, Telcos define a new radio access architecture, called Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN). The C-RAN principle is to centralize, within a pool, the processing unit of a radio interface, named BaseBand Unit (BBU). These two units are interconnected through a Fronthaul (FH) network. In this thesis, we design a new partially centralized C-RAN architecture that integrates a virtualization platform, based on a Xen environment, called Metamorphic Network (MNet). Through this architecture, we aim to: i) implement a pool in which physical resources (processors, memory, network ports, etc.) are shared between virtualized BBUs and other applications; ii) establish an open FH network that can be used by multiple operators, service providers and third parties to deploy their services and Apps closer to the users for a better Quality of Experience (QoE); iii) exploit, through the FH, the existing Ethernet infrastructures to reduce CAPEX/OPEX; and finally iv) provide the recommended network performance for the 5G. In the first contribution, we define a new Xen architecture for the MNet platform integrating the packet-processing framework, OpenDataPlane (ODP), within a privileged Xen domain, called Driver Domain (DD). This new architecture accelerates the data packet processing within MNet, while avoiding the physical CPUs overuse by ODP. Thus, virtual CPU cores (vCPU) are allocated within DD and are used by ODP to accelerate the packet processing. This new Xen architecture improves the MNet platform by 15%. In the second contribution, we implement two network solutions within the FH. The first solution consist of deploying a layer 2 network protocol, Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL), to connect multiple elements of our C-RAN architecture. The second solution consists of implementing a Software Defined Network (SDN) model managed by Open Network Operating System (ONOS), a distributed SDN controller that is which is virtualized within BBU pool. Moreover, a network performance comparison is performed between these two solutions

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleInternet historical protocols (TCP/IP) that were used to interconnect the very first comput-ers are no longer suitable for the massive distribution of content that is now being made. New content-based network protocols (Information-Centric Networking) are currently being designed to optimize these exchanges by betting on a paradigm shift where content, rather than machines, are addressable across the Internet. However, such a change can only be made gradually and if all operational imperatives are met. Thus, this thesis aims to study and remove the main tech-nological obstacles preventing the adoption of the NDN (Name Data Networking) protocol by operators by guaranteeing the security, performance, interoperability, proper management and automated deployment of an NDN network. First, we evaluate the current performance of an NDN network thanks to a tool we made, named ndnperf, and observe the high cost for a provider delivering fresh content using this protocol. Then, we propose some optimizations to improve the efficiency of packet generation up to 6.4 times better than the default parameters. Afterwards, we focus on the security of the NDN protocol with the evaluation of the content poisoning attack, known as the second more critical attack on NDN, but never truly characterized. Our study is based on two scenarios, with the usage of a malicious user and content provider, or by exploiting a flaw we found in the packet processing flow of the NDN router. Thus, we show the danger of this kind of attacks and propose a software fix to prevent the most critical scenario. Thirdly, we are trying to adapt the HTTP protocol in a way so that it can be transported on an NDN network for interoperability purposes. To do this, we designed an adaptation protocol and developed two gateways that perform the necessary conversions so that web content can seamlessly enter or exit an NDN network. After describing our solution, we evaluate and improve it in order to make web content benefit from a major NDN feature, the in-network caching, and show up to 61.3% cache-hit ratio in synthetic tests and 25.1% in average for browsing simulations with multiple users using a Zipf law of parameter 1.5. Finally, we propose a virtualized and orchestrated microservice architecture for the deploy-ment of an NDN network following the Network Fonction Virtualization (NFV) paradigm. We developed seven microservices that represent either an atomic function of the NDN router or a new one for specific purposes. These functions can then be chained to constitute a full-fledged network. Our architecture is orchestrated with the help of a manager that allows it to take the full advantages of the microservices like scaling the bottleneck functions or dynamically change the topology for the current needs (an attack for example). Our architecture, associated with our other contributions on performance, security and in-teroperability, allows a better and more realistic deployment of NDN, especially with an easier development of new features, a network running on standard hardware, and the flexibility allowed by this kind of architecture

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn the framework of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), we address in this work the performance analysis of virtualized network functions (VNFs) in terms of latency, which considers the total amount of time that is required to process VNFs in cloud computing systems. The driving use-case of this study is the virtualization of the radio access network (namely, Cloud-RAN). We notably investigate the relevance of resource pooling and statistical multiplexing when available cores in a data center are shared by all active VNFs. We perform VNF modeling by means of stochastic service systems. Proposed queuing models reveal the behavior of high performance computing architectures based on parallel processing and enable us to dimension the required computing capacity in data centers. As a proof of concept, we implement an OAI-based end-to-end virtualized mobile network, which notably confirms the accuracy of theoretical models. Performance results reveal important gains in terms of latency. This fact enables in particular a higher concentration level of VNFs in data centers, thus achieving CAPEX and OPEX reduction, and moreover, it opens the door to the cloudification of critical network functions

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe current landscape of networking has witnessed a growing interest in two significant technologies: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software-DefinedNetworking (SDN). These technologies offer novel approaches to network management,bringing flexibility and programmability to the forefront.Software-Defined Networking (SDN) revolutionizes the network management by decoupling the control plane from the data plane. This separation of plans allows forcentralized control and programmability, replacing traditional hardware-centric control withsoftware-based control. SDN can create virtual networks or efficiently control traditionalhardware networks through software, offering enhanced flexibility and adaptability.Network Function Virtualization (NFV), on the other hand, focuses on cost reduction and service deployment acceleration for network operators. It achieves this by decoupling network functions (NF), such as firewall or encryption, from dedicated hardware andvirtualizing them on standard servers. NFV enables the consolidation of multiple functions onto a single physical server, resulting in cost savings and minimized field interventions.Adding new network functions becomes more streamlined, requiring the activation of virtualmachines (VM) rather than deploying additional hardware across the entire network.The research thesis aims to tackle the NP-hard problem of optimal VNFs placementand chaining within a NFV network. This problem involves determining the most efficientsequence of service function chains (SFC) while directing flows through the VNFs. Theprimary objective is to develop an algorithm that achieves a cost optimal placement and chaining of VNFs, considering various constraints such as chaining order, processing capacity,and bandwidth capacity.The algorithm seeks to minimize the overall allocation costs while ensuring effectiveflow routing through the VNFs. By leveraging the capabilities of NFV and SDN, the thesis aimsto contribute to the advancement of network virtualization and software-defined networking.The proposed algorithms will empower network operators to make informed decisionsregarding VNFs placement, leading to improved network efficiency, cost reduction, andenhanced service provisioning. Ultimately, the thesis aims to enable network operators toeffectively manage their networks, allocate resources optimally and deliver services withincreased agility and cost-effectiveness

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleNetwork densification using small cells massively deployed over the macro-cell areas, represents a promising solution for future 5G mobile networks to cope with mobile traffic increase. In order to simplify the management of the heterogeneous Radio Access Network (RAN) that results from the massive deployment of small cells, recent research and industrial studies have promoted the design of novel centralized RAN architectures termed as Cloud-RAN (C-RAN), or Virtual RAN (V-RAN), by incorporating the benefits of cloud computing and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The DynaRoC project aims at (1) developing a theoretical framework of resource orchestration for C-RAN and deriving the fundamental performance limits as well as the tradeoffs among various system parameters, and (2) designing dynamic resource orchestration mechanisms based on the theoretical findings to achieve a desired performance balance, by taking into account various design challenges. The PhD student will investigate innovative resource optimization mechanisms to foster the deployment of C-RANs, improving their performance exploiting the enabling Network Functions Virtualization technology

However, the emergence of new initiatives in the context of the internet of the future, such as network function virtualization and specialized tools such as Openstack makes it possible to develop new approaches to control and manage the network infrastructure. This new approach on which telecom operators rely to accelerate their digital transformation will impact not only the way networks are defined but also the main role of the operator, who now hasto manage cloud resources in combination with network resources. The main goal of the thesis is to analyze the modifications that will affect the infrastructure of the operator in order to design resource allocation algorithms adapted to the context of the virtualization of network functions

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleOver the past few decades, the continuing growth of network statistics requires a constantly evolving technology. Therefore, a natural question arises in our minds: what will 5G be? To answer this question, the 5G architecture must be designed with a certain level of flexibility through the integration of softwarization and virtualization principles. Therefore, we can see that 5G will provide a paradigm shift beyond radio access technology in order to establish an agile and sophisticated communication system. The network can be used efficiently and independently by creating multiple logically separated spaces, called network slices. In addition, each logical network can deploy its network functions in a flexible cloud environment. To this end, the goal of this thesis is to study these two techniques: (a) Cloud-RAN and (b) RAN splitting. In the first part, our focus is on the C-RAN concept, in which monolithic base stations are replaced by (1) distributed radio elements and (2) centralized pools for baseband processing units. The C-RAN notion is still confronted with stringent capacity and latency requirements of the fronthaul interface that connects the distributed remote radio unit to the centralized baseband processing unit. In the second part, we focus on RAN cutting not only to allow different levels of isolation and sharing at each slice of network, but also to customize the control plane, user plane and control logic. Therefore, we provide a flexible runtime environment for the "RAN Runtime" slicing system to host service instances on each of the underlying RAN modules

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleRecent advances in networks, such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), are changing the way network operators deploy and manage Internet services. On one hand, SDN introduces a logically centralized controller with a global view of the network state. On the other hand, NFV enables the complete decoupling of network functions from proprietary appliances and runs them as software applications on general–purpose servers. In such a way, network operators can dynamically deploy Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). SDN and NFV benefit network operators by providing new opportunities for reducing costs, enhancing network flexibility and scalability, and shortening the time-to-market of new applications and services. Moreover, the centralized routing model of SDN jointly with the possibility of instantiating VNFs on–demand, may open the way for an even more efficient operation and resource management of networks. For instance, an SDN/NFV-enabled network may simplify the Service Function Chain (SFC) deployment and provisioning by making the process easier and cheaper. In this study, we aim at investigating how to leverage both SDN and NFV in order to exploit their potential benefits. We took steps to address the new opportunities offered in terms of network design, network resilience, and energy savings, and the new problems that arise in this new context, such as the optimal network function placement in the network. We show that a symbiosis between SDN and NFV can improve network performance and significantly reduce the network's Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx)

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe inevitable transition from physical hardware devices towards lightweight reusable software modules in Network Function Virtualization (NFV) introduces countless opportunities while presenting several unprecedented challenges. Satisfying NFV expectations in post-5G networks heavily depends on the efficient placement of network services. Dynamic allocation of physical resources for online service requests demanding heterogeneous resources under specific QoS requirements represents one of the most important steps in NFV design, and a NP-Hard problem to solve. This complexity is encountered in various 5G NFV use-cases, which are related to the placement, from VNF Forwarding-Graphs and Network Slicing, to the virtualization of the Core Network, CDN, IoT, etc., investigating numerous objectives in the literature, ranging from resources-based multi-objective optimizations to the energy consumption, cost of revenue, service acceptance, resiliency, availability, security, etc. In this thesis, we are interested in placing the virtual network services over the network by trying to maximize the number of accepted services considering their QoS requirements. Although the VNF placement problem has been studied for many years, the need for an approach that could find a fair compromise between optimality and scalability still exists. In this thesis, we study several problems and challenges in network service placement and propose AL/ML solutions accordingly

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis focuses on the transport of low-latency traffic in networks, and in particular on Cloud Gaming (CG) services we selected as our case study. CG plaforms have gained much popularity recently and are expected to become a significant part of Internet traffic share in the upcoming years. However, the characteristics of their traffic, at the same time high bandwidth and low latency, are challenging for networks and make it difficult to maintain good quality of service (QoS) in degraded network conditions. We first analyze the traffic of four CG platforms to evaluate the capacity of adaptation and responsiveness of their congestion control algorithm (CCA). We synthetically lower the network conditions by impacting in turn the delay, jitter, loss rate and available bandwidth with different intensities, and observe the resulting traffic. Then, we study CG traffic on cellular networks by reproducing the conditions observed on the Orange 4G network, including a user mobility scenario. We noted a some disparities in the platforms' behavior. Some do not adapt adequately to the different constraints and are therefore exposed to long queuing delays, sometimes resulting in packet losses. Others overreact, to the detriment of their video quality. All of the data collected was made available to the community. Considering the limitations of end-to-end CCA, we propose to identify CG traffic in the network to make it benefit from an improved traffic processing, in particular at the level of queues which can induce latency in case of congestion. We have developed a classifier able to recognize CG traffic with high precision (98.5%) by relying on a machine learning approach featuring the statistical properties of CG traffic which are calculated on the fly. We propose an implementation of our classifier as a set of virtual network functions (VNF) that can handle 10Gb/s. In collaboration with Orange Labs, we also considered the acceleration of some functions on a programmable hardware switch in P4 and implemented the extraction of flow statistical features, which proves that a realistic deployment at an ISP level is possible. Finally, we propose to experiment the transport of CG traffic in a “Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput” (L4S) architecture. As current CG platforms are not compatible, we developed our own platform coupled with Scream, a CCA based on loss and delays for the RTP protocol and supporting explicit congestion notification (ECN). We propose to use it in conjunction with DualPI2, an active queue manager (AQM) with a low latency queue. We then monitor the traffic on the bottleneck against different competing flows. For the first time, we evaluate the performance of L4S against traditional traffic engineering approaches on a real low latency service

This decoupling enables hosting of network services, known as Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs), on commodity hardware (such as switches or servers) and thus facilitates and accelerates service deployment and management by providers, improves flexibility, leads to efficient and scalable resource usage, and reduces costs. This paradigm is a major turning point in the evolution of networking, as it introduces high expectations for enhanced economical network services, as well as major technical challenges.One of the main technical challenges in this domain is the optimal placement of the VNFs within the hosting infrastructures. This placement has a critical impact on the performance of the network, as well as on its reliability and operation cost. The VNF Placement and Chaining Problem is NP-Hard and there is a need for placement approaches that can scale with problem size and find good solutions in acceptable times. The overarching goal of this thesis is to enable dynamic virtual network resources provisioning to deal with demand fluctuation during the virtual network lifetime, and to enhance the substrate resource usage. Reserving a fixed amount of resources is inefficient to satisfy the VNF resource requirements. To cope with these problems, we propose dynamic resource management strategies.In this thesis, both exact and heuristic algorithms are designed and evaluated in terms of optimality, complexity, ability to scale, and compared with the state of the art. Elastic mechanisms and scaling algorithms are first presented to improve adaptation and deployment of virtualized network functions in NFV infrastructures to support increasing demand while increasing provider's revenue. Since network providers not only need to control, classify and steer user and application traffic flows in their dedicated slices but also want to extend their already acquired and operational virtual networks or slices with additional service graphs, the thesis proposes extension algorithms of already hosted network functions graphs without disrupting initially deployed and active service instances. The proposed algorithms extend already deployed network services and functions graphs to respond to new demands while taking into account the constraint of minimizing the impact on the original service graphs. The extension algorithms are particularly useful and suitable for situations where already deployed graphs need to be enhanced with new features and properties (adding new functions) and modified to react to degradation and attacks such as removing a fraction of the graph and replacing with new complex and composed functions into more capable and uncompromised graphs.The thesis also addresses the VNF placement and chaining problem in an online and in a batch mode to improve performance in terms of longer time reward. An enhanced Reinforcement Learning-based approach is also proposed to improve the long term reward beyond what the previous methods can achieve. This is analyzed and realized for a load balancing objective but can be adjusted for other criteria

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleNetwork densification using small cells massively deployed over the macro-cell areas, represents a promising solution for future 5G mobile networks to cope with mobile traffic increase. In order to simplify the management of the heterogeneous Radio Access Network (RAN) that results from the massive deployment of small cells, recent research and industrial studies have promoted the design of novel centralized RAN architectures termed as Cloud-RAN (C-RAN), or Virtual RAN (V-RAN), by incorporating the benefits of cloud computing and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The DynaRoC project aims at (1) developing a theoretical framework of resource orchestration for C-RAN and deriving the fundamental performance limits as well as the tradeoffs among various system parameters, and (2) designing dynamic resource orchestration mechanisms based on the theoretical findings to achieve a desired performance balance, by taking into account various design challenges. The PhD student will investigate innovative resource optimization mechanisms to foster the deployment of C-RANs, improving their performance exploiting the enabling Network Functions Virtualization technology

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDue to the exponential growth of service demands, telecommunication networks are populated with a large and increasing variety of proprietary hardware appliances, and this leads to an increase in the cost and the complexity of the network management. To overcome this issue, the NFV paradigm is proposed, which allows dynamically allocating the Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and therefore obtaining flexible network services provision, thus reducing the capital and operating costs. In this thesis, we focus on the VNF Placement and Routing (VNF-PR) problem, which aims to find the location of the VNFs to allocate optimally resources to serve the demands. From an optimization point of view, the problem can be modeled as the combination of a facility location problem (for the VNF location and server dimensioning) and a network design problem (for the demands routing). Both problems are widely studied in the literature, but their combination represents, to the best of our knowledge, a new challenge. We start working on a realistic VNF-PR problem to understand the impact of different policies on the overall network management cost and performance. To this end, we extend the work in [1] by considering more realistic features and constraints of NFV infrastructures and we propose a linear programming model and a math-heuristic to solve it. In order to better understand the problem structure and its properties, in the second part of our work, we focus on the theoretical study of the problem by extracting a simplified, yet significant variant. We provide results on the computational complexity under different graph topology and capacity cases. Then, we propose two mathematical programming formulations and we test them on a common testbed with more than 100 different test instances under different capacity settings. Finally, we address the scalability issue by proposing ILP-based constructive methods and heuristics to efficiently deal with large size instances (with up to 60 nodes and 1800 demands). We show that our proposed heuristics can efficiently solve medium size instances (with up to 30 nodes and 1000 demands) of challenging capacity cases and provide feasible solutions for large size instances of the most difficult capacity cases, for which the models cannot find any solution even with a significant computational time

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis PhD thesis investigates how to optimize Network Slice Placement in distributed large-scale infrastructures focusing on online heuristic and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based approaches. First, we rely on Integer Linear Programming (ILP) to propose a data model for enabling on-Edge and on-Network Slice Placement. In contrary to most studies related to placement in the NFV context, the proposed ILP model considers complex Network Slice topologies and pays special attention to the geographic location of Network Slice Users and its impact on the End-to-End (E2E) latency. Extensive numerical experiments show the relevance of taking into account the user location constraints. Then, we rely on an approach called the “Power of Two Choices"(P2C) to propose an online heuristic algorithm for the problem which is adapted to support placement on large-scale distributed infrastructures while integrating Edge-specific constraints. The evaluation results show the good performance of the heuristic that solves the problem in few seconds under a large-scale scenario. The heuristic also improves the acceptance ratio of Network Slice Placement Requests when compared against a deterministic online ILP-based solution. Finally, we investigate the use of ML methods, more specifically DRL, for increasing scalability and automation of Network Slice Placement considering a multi-objective optimization approach to the problem. We first propose a DRL algorithm for Network Slice Placement which relies on the Advantage Actor Critic algorithm for fast learning, and Graph Convolutional Networks for feature extraction automation. Then, we propose an approach we call Heuristically Assisted Deep Reinforcement Learning (HA-DRL), which uses heuristics to control the learning and execution of the DRL agent. We evaluate this solution trough simulations under stationary, cycle-stationary and non-stationary network load conditions. The evaluation results show that heuristic control is an efficient way of speeding up the learning process of DRL, achieving a substantial gain in resource utilization, reducing performance degradation, and is more reliable under unpredictable changes in network load than non-controlled DRL algorithms

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe emergence of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology has aroused keen interest to design, manage and deploy network services in a flexible, automated and vendor-agnostic manner. Implementing NFV technology is expected to be a win-win solution for both service providers and costumers. However, this paradigm shift, sparked by NFV, calls for a progressive abandon of network services that are provided as hardware appliance and rather it proposes a fully or partially virtualized environment that offers software modules called Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). This shift rises a set of challenges related to service deployment and operation such as orchestration and management, service resiliency, Quality of Service (QoS) and resource provisioning among others. Furthermore, the core question that needs to be solved within NFV context is “What is the best way to place and chain VNFs that form a service in order to meet Service Level Agreement requirements (costumer side) while optimizing resource usage (service provider side)?”.This thesis investigates the problem of VNF Placement and Chaining considering service requirements such as end-to-end delay, service availability and energy consumption and proposes a set of algorithms and mechanisms that aim to achieve an optimized deployment of the requested/provided services. Our contributions in this thesis are threefold. First, we propose a delay-aware Placement and Chaining algorithms for delay-sensitive applications over NFV networks. The proposed algorithms aim to meet the appropriate end-to-end delay defined according to the deployed service (VoIP, Streaming, etc.). Second, we provide a comprehensive service availability benchmarking and we propose two availability-aware mechanisms for VNFs chain. The aim is to provide resilient service provisioning by fine-tuning the parameters of the protection scheme (the number, the type, the placement and the size of the spare instances) needed to reach a predefined availability level, despite network failures. Finally, we propose a framework architecture that explores the possibility to extend the virtualization paradigm to Internet of Things (IoT). Toward this end, we define an energy-aware Placement and Chaining for IoT services where inherent IoT functionalities are decoupled from specific dedicated IoT devices and instantiated on-demand. By bringing together NFV and IoT paradigms, this extension opens new perspectives and push toward designing new use cases
Salhab, Nazih. „Resource provisioning and dynamic optimization of Network Slices in an SDN/NFV environment“. Thesis, Paris Est, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020PESC2019.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleTo address the enhanced mobile broadband, massive and critical communications for the Internet of things, Fifth Generation (5G) of mobile communications is being deployed, nowadays, relying on multiple enablers, namely: Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV).C-RAN decomposes the new generation Node-B into: i) Remote Radio Head (RRH), ii) Digital Unit (DU), and iii) Central Unit (CU), also known as Cloud or Collaborative Unit.DUs and CUs are the two blocks that implement the former 4G Baseband Unit (BBU) while leveraging eight options of functional splits of the front-haul for a fine-tuned performance. The RRH implements the radio frequency outdoor circuitry. SDN allows programming network's behavior by decoupling the control plane from the user plane and centralizing the flow management in a dedicated controller node. NFV, on the other hand, uses virtualization technology to run Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) on commodity servers. SDN and NFV allow the partitioning of the C-RAN, transport and core networks as network slices defined as isolated and virtual end-to-end networks tailored to fulfill diverse requirements requested by a particular application. The main objective of this thesis is to develop resource-provisioning algorithms (Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, energy, and spectrum) for 5G networks while guaranteeing optimal provisioning of VNFs for a cloud-based infrastructure. To achieve this ultimate goal, we address the optimization of both resources and infrastructure within three network domains: 5G Core Network (5GC), C-RAN and the SDN controllers. We, first formulate the 5GC offloading problem as a constrained-optimization to meet multiple objectives (virtualization cost, processing power and network load) by making optimal decisions with minimum latency. We optimize the usage of the network infrastructure in terms of computing capabilities, power consumption, and bitrate, while meeting the needs per slice (latency, reliability, efficiency, etc.). Knowing that the infrastructure is subject to frequent and massive events such as the arrival/departure of users/devices, continuous network evolution (reconfigurations, and inevitable failures), we propose a dynamic optimization using Branch, Cut and Price, while discussing objectives effects on multiple metrics.Our second contribution consists of optimizing the C-RAN by proposing a dynamic mapping of RRHs to BBUs (DUs and CUs). On first hand, we propose clustering the RRHs in an aim to optimize the downlink throughput. On second hand, we propose the prediction of the Power Headroom (PHR), to optimize the throughput on the uplink.We formulate our RRHs clustering problem as k-dimensional multiple Knapsacks and the prediction of PHR using different Machine Learning (ML) approaches to minimize the interference and maximize the throughput.Finally, we address the orchestration of 5G network slices through the software defined C-RAN controller using ML-based approaches, for all of: classification of performance requirements, forecasting of slicing ratios, admission controlling, scheduling and adaptive resource management.Based on extensive evaluations conducted in our 5G experimental prototype based on OpenAirInterface, and using an integrated performance management stack, we show that our proposals outperform the prominent related strategies in terms of optimization speed, computing cost, and achieved throughput

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe recent trend toward Network Softwarization is driving an unprecedented technoeconomic shift in the Telecom and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) industries. By separating the hardware on which network functions/services run and the software that realizes and controls the network functions/services, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are creating an open ecosystem that drastically reduces the cost of building networks and changes the way operators operate their networks. SDN and NFV paradigms add more flexibility and enable more control over networks, thus, related technologies are expected to dominate a large part of the networking market in the next few years (estimated at USD 3.68B in 2017 and forecasted by some to reach 54B USD by 2022 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 71.4%). However, one of the major operators’ concerns about Network Softwarization is security. In this thesis, we have first designed and implemented a pentesting (penetration testing) framework for SDN controllers. We have proposed a set of algorithms to fingerprint a remote SDN controller without having direct connection to it. Using our framework, network operators can evaluate the security of their SDN deployments (including Opendaylight, Floodlight and Cisco Open SDN Controller) before putting them into production. Second, we have studied the Topology Discovery problem in SDN controllers and discovered major security (as well as performance) issues around the current de-facto OpenFlow Topology Discovery Protocol (OFDP). In order to fix these major issues, we have designed and implemented a new secure and efficient OpenFlow Topology Discovery Protocol (called sOFTDP). sOFTDP requires minimal changes to the OpenFlow switch design and is shown to be more secure than previous workarounds on traditional OFDP. Also, sOFTDP outperforms OFDP by several orders of magnitude which we confirmed by extensive experiments. The second axis of our research in this thesis is smart management in softwarized networks. Inspired by the recent breakthroughs in machine learning techniques, notably, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), we have built a traffic engineering engine for SDN called NeuRoute, entirely based on DNNs. Current SDN/OpenFlow controllers use a default routing based on Dijkstra’s algorithm for shortest paths, and provide APIs to develop custom routing applications. NeuRoute is a controller-agnostic dynamic routing framework that (i) predicts traffic matrix in real time, (ii) uses a neural network to learn traffic characteristics and (iii) generates forwarding rules accordingly to optimize the network throughput. NeuRoute is composed of two main components: NeuTM and NeuRoute-TRU. NeuTM is a traffic matrix (TM) prediction framework that uses Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network architecture to learn long-range traffic dependencies and characteristics then accurately predicts future TMs. NeuRoute-TRU is a path selection engine that computes optimal paths for traffic matrices predicted by NeuTM. NeuRoute-TRU achieves the same results as the most efficient dynamic routing heuristic but in much less execution time

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn recent years, because of the unprecedented growth in the number of connected devices and mobile data, and the ongoing developments in technologies to address this enormous data demand, the fifth generation (5G) network has emerged. The forthcoming 5G architecture will be essentially based on Network Slicing (NS), which enables provide a flexible approach to realize the 5G vision. Thanks to the emerging Network Function Virtualization (NFV) concept, the network functions are decoupled from dedicated hardware devices and realized in the form of software. This offers more flexibility and agility in business operations. Despite the advantages it brings, NFV raises some technical challenges, the reconfiguration problem is one of them. This problem, which is NP-Hard, consists in reallocating the Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) to fit the network changes, by transforming the current state of deployed services, e.g., the current placement of Virtual Machines (VM) that host VNFs, to another state that updates providers’ objectives. This PhD thesis investigates how to reconfigure the VNFs by migrating them to an optimal state that could be computed in advance or free placement. In this thesis, we studied both cases while minimizing the service interruption duration and the VNF migration duration. We have proposed exact and approximate methods. Among the exact methods, we cite two ILP models. We also proposed two heuristic approaches, one based on column generation and the second using the concept of “arc set feedback”. The overall objective of this work is therefore to define and study the problem of VNF reconfiguration problem in the context of 5G network slicing, and propose mathematical models and efficient algorithms to solve the underlying optimization problems

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleCloud computing emerged as a new paradigm for on-demand provisioning of IT resources and for infrastructure externalization and is rapidly and fundamentally revolutionizing the way IT is delivered and managed. The resulting incremental Cloud adoption is fostering to some extent cloud providers cooperation and increasing the needs of tenants and the complexity of their demands. Tenants need to network their distributed and geographically spread cloud resources and services. They also want to easily accomplish their deployments and instantiations across heterogeneous cloud platforms. Traditional cloud providers focus on compute resources provisioning and offer mostly virtual machines to tenants and cloud services consumers who actually expect full-fledged (complete) networking of their virtual and dedicated resources. They not only want to control and manage their applications but also control connectivity to easily deploy complex network functions and services in their dedicated virtual infrastructures. The needs of users are thus growing beyond the simple provisioning of virtual machines to the acquisition of complex, flexible, elastic and intelligent virtual resources and services. The goal of this thesis is to enable the provisioning and instantiation of this type of more complex resources while empowering tenants with control and management capabilities and to enable the convergence of cloud and network services. To reach these goals, the thesis proposes mapping algorithms for optimized in-data center and in-network resources hosting according to the tenants' virtual infrastructures requests. In parallel to the apparition of cloud services, traditional networks are being extended and enhanced with software networks relying on the virtualization of network resources and functions especially through network resources and functions virtualization. Software Defined Networks are especially relevant as they decouple network control and data forwarding and provide the needed network programmability and system and network management capabilities. In such a context, the first part proposes optimal (exact) and heuristic placement algorithms to find the best mapping between the tenants' requests and the hosting infrastructures while respecting the objectives expressed in the demands. This includes localization constraints to place some of the virtual resources and services in the same host and to distribute other resources in distinct hosts. The proposed algorithms achieve simultaneous node (host) and link (connection) mappings. A heuristic algorithm is proposed to address the poor scalability and high complexity of the exact solution(s). The heuristic scales much better and is several orders of magnitude more efficient in terms of convergence time towards near optimal and optimal solutions. This is achieved by reducing complexity of the mapping process using topological patterns to map virtual graph requests to physical graphs representing respectively the tenants' requests and the providers' physical infrastructures. The proposed approach relies on graph decomposition into topology patterns and bipartite graphs matching techniques. The third part propose an open source Cloud Networking framework to achieve cloud and network resources provisioning and instantiation in order to respectively host and activate the tenants' virtual resources and services. This framework enables and facilitates dynamic networking of distributed cloud services and applications. This solution relies on a Cloud Network Gateway Manager and gateways to establish dynamic connectivity between cloud and network resources. The CNG-Manager provides the application networking control and supports the deployment of the needed underlying network functions in the tenant desired infrastructure (or slice since the physical infrastructure is shared by multiple tenants with each tenant receiving a dedicated and isolated portion/share of the physical resources)

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis doctoral thesis is a descriptive mixed study which articulates both qualitative and quantitative data. In a heuristic goal for the study of the teaching practices by Bru and according to the works of Tardif and Lebrun on the teaching and learning paradigms, the research aims at identifying the homogeneity and heterogeneity aspects of distance teaching practices of a synchronic distance learning network, the Pyramide network. The framework allowing the data analysis of the research rests on three main axes: the teaching practices of a distance learning structure, the organizer of the teaching practices and the various approaches of e-learning. The hypothesis of the research is based on the cross study of these axes. The research protocol is based on a questionnaire, the scale of Likert and semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the quantitative data allowed the definition of key factors for homogeneity and heterogeneity of the practices through new organizers such as interaction, sense of mastering technological tools and pedagogic innovation within the Pyramide structure. The research confirms the hypothesis that the e-training practices are organized around thirty axes that we have defined following the analysis of the trainers’ statements. However, it does not confirm the hypothesis that the Pyramid network is an organizer of homogeneity in spite of the strong character of the system which articulates structured pedagogic methods (AFT, TLP, TLT, visio) and an explicit pedagogic discourse rightfully centered on the learner in the teaching/learning situation. Overall, our research shows that pedagogic innovation is far from a reality in FOAD and that many teachers still favour the teaching paradigm over the learning paradigm

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleCloud computing has known an impressive success over the last few years and is continuously emerging personal and profesional life thanks to its elasticity, pricing model, etc. This innovative technology has attracted both industrial and research communities and becomes omnipresent.In order to take benefit from the Cloud expansion, providers require effecient management strategies to properly supply their physical capabilities such as network resources. Besides, Cloud providers have to respect the Service Level Agreements (SLA) and avoid any outage impact in order to guarantee the Cloud-based service continuity. In this thesis we tackle the problem of reliable virtual network embedding within the Cloud backbone by considering the impact of physical equipments' outages. Our main focus is to improve the provider's turnover by i) maximizing the acceptance rate of the incoming virtual networks issued from clients' requestand ii) minimizing the penalties induced by service disruption due to the physical failures. This optimization problem is NP-hard with multi-objective and non-linear formalization. To cope with this complexity and since reaching the optimal solution is computationally intractable, we propose different strategies that aim to respect the aformentionned objectives. First, we propose a preventive approach named PR-VNE that urges the use of reliable network resources in order to avoid the physical failures impact.PR-VNE strongly relies on the Artificial Bee Colony metaheuristic to reach an optimized solution. It should be highlighted that PR-VNE does not adopt a recovering mechanism to deal with the network outages. Second, we devise a new reactive approach named CG-VNE that does not consider any backup resources but re-embed the impacted virtual resources once an outage occurs in the underlying network. As well as this reactive mechanism, CG-VNE adopts the same preventive strategy like PR-VNE by avoiding the unreliable resources. It should be noted that CG-VNE is devised basing on a Game Theory framework by defining a collaborative mapping game. Finally, we deal with the survivable batch mapping problem that considers the embedding of a virtual networks set instead of one client request. We introduce a new reliable batch embedding strategy named BR-VNE that relies on Monte-Carlo Tree Search algorithm.BR-VNE delegates the embedding of one virtual network request to any online algorithm and focuses to find the best mapping sequence order. The performance evaluation of our algorithms leads to efficient results

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe work of this thesis falls within the general context of software-defined networking (SDN). This new paradigm is one of the most significant initiatives to enable networks programmability or, in other words, to make current networks easier to configure, test, debug and evolve. Within an SDN ecosystem, the Northbound interface is used by network administrators to define policies and to program the control plane, it thus represents a major challenge. Ideally, this northbound interface should allow administrators to describe, as simply as possible, network services and their interactions, rather than specifying how and on what physical device they need to be deployed. Current related works show that this can be partly achieved through virtualization solutions and high-level domain specific languages (DSL). The objective of this thesis is to propose a new Northbound interface which will, on the one hand, rely on network virtualization and, on the other hand, expose its services as a domain specific programming language. Currently, several languages that include network virtualization solutions exist. Nevertheless, we believe that the abstract models they are using to build virtual networks remain inadequate to ensure simplicity, modularity and flexibility of virtual topologies and control programs. In this context, we propose a new network control language named AirNet. Our language is built on top of an abstraction model whose main feature is to provide a clear separation between edge and core network devices. This concept is a well-known and accepted idea within the network designer community. The originality of our contribution is to lift up this concept at the virtual control plane, not limiting it solely at the physical plane. Thus, logical boundaries between different types of policies will exist (control and data functions vs. transport functions), ensuring modularity and reusability of the control program. Moreover, in the proposed approach, the definition of the virtual network and policies is totally dissociated from the target physical infrastructure, promoting the portability of control applications. An implementation of the AirNet language has also been done. This prototype includes in particular a library that implements the primitives and operators of the language, and a hypervisor that achieves the composition of the control policies on the virtual network, and their mapping on the physical infrastructure. In order to rely on existing SDN controllers, the hypervisor includes integration modules for the POX and RYU controllers. An experimental validation has been also conducted on different use cases (filtering, load balancing, dynamic authentication, bandwidth throttling, etc.), whose results demonstrate the feasibility of our solution. Finally, performance measurements have shown that the additional cost brought by this new abstraction layer is perfectly acceptable

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleToday, the heterogeneity of current networking infrastructures, along with the lack of interoperability in terms of architectures and frameworks for adapting content to the various users’ contexts, prevent prosumers to deliver high QoE over different platforms and under diversified contexts. Consequently, the objective of this PhD thesis is to study, design, and develop a novel architecture capable to offer guaranteed QoS/QoE by efficiently exploiting the available resources and by dynamically adapting the network performance across the various Service, Network and User environments. To this end, the proposed architecture is based on (1) a distributed management framework that exploits Content Aware Network (CAN) mechanisms – on top of the Internet Protocol (IP) – for identifying content in transit and mapping its QoS/QoE requirements into specific network characteristics, and on (2) a network resource allocation mechanism for adapting the intra-domain resources to the requested QoS/QoE. A prototype Media-Aware Network Element (MANE) has been achieved, offering content type recognition and content-based routing/forwarding as a matter of guaranteed QoS/QoE provision in an end-to-end approach. Furthermore, it proposes a synergetic management system capable to orchestrate cross-layer optimization processes for service differentiation/classification, towards efficient resource exploitation. The validity of the proposed architecture is verified through a large number of experiments conducted using physical and virtual infrastructures. A large-scale test-bed conforming to the architectural design specifications was deployed for validating the proposed approach

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleWe picture the brain as a complex network of structurally connected regions that are functionally coupled. Brain functions arise from the coordinated activity of distant cortical regions. Connectivity is used to represent the cooperation of segregated and functionally specialized brain regions. Whether it is the analysis of anatomical links, statistical dependencies, or causal interactions, connectivity reveals fundamental aspects of brain (dys)function. However, estimating and applying connectivity still faces many challenges; therefore, this work is devoted to tackling them. The first challenge stems from the detrimental effect of systematic noise (such as head movements) on connectivity estimates. We proposed an index that depicts connectivity quality and can reflect various artifacts, processing errors, and brain pathology, allowing extensive use in data quality screening and methodological investigations. Furthermore, connectivity alterations play an invaluable role in understanding brain dysfunction. Investigating the mechanisms of epilepsy, we show that connectivity can track gradual changes of seizure susceptibility and identify driving factors of seizure generation. Identifying critical times of connectivity changes could help in successful seizure prediction. Finally, how the brain adapts to task demands on fast timescales is not well understood. We present a combination of intracranial EEG and state-of-art measures to investigate network dynamics during recognition memory. Understanding how the brain dynamically faces rapid changes in cognitive demands is vital to our comprehension of the neural basis of cognition. In conclusion, the modest goal of this thesis is to at least partially answer some of the many challenges that current neuroscience is facing

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleWhile many business and personal applications are being pushed to the cloud, offering a reliable and a stable network connectivity to cloud-hosted services becomes an important challenge to face in future networks. In this dissertation, we design advanced network protocols, algorithms and communication strategies to cope with this evolution in distributed data center architectures. We propose a user-centric distributed cloud network architecture that is able to: (i) migrate virtual resources between data centers with an optimized service downtime; (ii) offer resilient access to virtual resources; (iii) minimize the cloud access latency. We identify two main decision making problems: the virtual machine orchestration problem, also taking care of user mobility, and the routing locator switching configuration problem, taking care of both extra and intra data center link states. We evaluate our architecture using real test beds of geographically distributed data centers, and we also simulate realistic scenarios based on real mobility traces. We show that migrating virtual machines between data centers at negligible downtime is possible by enhancing overlay protocols. We then demonstrate that by linking cloud virtual resource mobility to user mobility we can get a considerable gain in the transfer rates. We prove by simulations using real traces that the virtual machine placement decision is more important than the routing locator switching decision problem when the goal is to increase the connection throughput: the cloud access performance is primarily affected by the former decision, while the latter decision can be left to intra data center traffic engineering solutions. Finally, we propose solutions to take profit from multipath transport protocols for accelerating cloud access performance in our architecture, and to let link-state intra data center routing fabrics piloting the cloud access routing locator switching

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMobile networks currently provide an imperative approach to network service provisioning and service life-cycle management. With the rapid technology disruptions, there is a wave that brings onboard millions of users, huge data bulks, and more complex network infrastructures which an imperative management approach will not scale up with the expected increase in demand. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) pave the way for programmability, flexibility, and scalability of mobile networks. Both technologies offer significant advantages to the Network Operators (NOs) in terms of network management and service provisioning, which widens their market to 3rd party providers such as Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) and Over-The-Top (OTT) Application Providers. However, these technologies still rely on imperative approaches to manage and provision network services. A declarative approach to network and service management is essential to handle the growth of networks seamlessly, which an Intent-based networking (IBN) approach provides. IBN consists of organizing and abstracting sets of complex network management and configuration instructions so as to expose them to network tenants in the form of a simple and unambiguous service request called Intent. Intents involve the expression of WHAT while the network handles the HOW. This thesis proposes an Intent-based networking framework for vertical markets with the aim to speed up and simplify the task of network service provisioning and management. The thesis focuses on provisioning 5G network slices using a declarative approach, Intents. The framework aids both operators and network tenants to express their Intent in a high-level language which is close to human language, based on the 4th generation language approach and language transformation (source-to-source) tools. The Intent-Based Networking framework is responsible for the end-to-end deployment of 5G network application slices by staging through different service execution phases including, service configuration, resource allocation, identifying optimal service placement strategy and service lifecycle monitoring without human intervention after Intent expression

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis aims to discriminate between embryos development towards either sexual or asexual reproduction types in pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum, at the genomic level. This discrimination involves the creation of a post-transcriptional regulation network between microRNAs and mRNAs whose kinetic expressions change depending on the embryogenesis. It also involves a study of this network's interaction modules using formal concept analysis. To do so, a three-step strategy was set up. First the creation of an interaction network between the pea aphid's microRNAs and mRNAs. The network is then reduced by keeping only microRNAs and mRNAs which possess differential kinetics between the two embryogeneses, these are obtained using high-throughput sequencing data. Finally the remaining network is analysed using formal concept analysis. Analysing the network allowed for the identification of several functions of potential interest such as oogenesis, transcriptional regulation or even neuroendocrine system. In addition to network analysis, formal concept analysis was used to create a new method to repair a bipartite graph based on its topology and a method to visualise a bipartite graph using its formal concepts

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleInfluence in complex networks and in particular Twitter has become recently a hot research topic. Detecting most influential users leads to reach a large-scale information diffusion area at low cost, something very useful in marketing or political campaigns. In this thesis, we propose a new approach that considers the several relations between users in order to assess influence in complex networks such as Twitter. We model Twitter as a multiplex heterogeneous network where users, tweets and objects are represented by nodes, and links model the different relations between them (e.g., retweets, mentions, and replies).The multiplex PageRank is applied to data from two datasets in the political field to rank candidates according to their influence. Even though the candidates' ranking reflects the reality, the multiplex PageRank scores are difficult to interpret because they are very close to each other.Thus, we want to go beyond a quantitative measure and we explore how relations between nodes in the network could reveal about the influence and propose TwitBelief, an approach to assess weighted influence of a certain node. This is based on the conjunctive combination rule from the belief functions theory that allow to combine different types of relations while expressing uncertainty about their importance weights. We experiment TwitBelief on a large amount of data gathered from Twitter during the European Elections 2014 and the French 2017 elections and deduce top influential candidates. The results show that our model is flexible enough to consider multiple interactions combination according to social scientists needs or requirements and that the numerical results of the belief theory are accurate. We also evaluate the approach over the CLEF RepLab 2014 data set and show that our approach leads to quite interesting results. We also propose two extensions of TwitBelief in order to consider the tweets content. The first is the estimation of polarized influence in Twitter network. In this extension, sentiment analysis of the tweets with the algorithm of forest decision trees allows to determine the influence polarity. The second extension is the categorization of communication styles in Twitter, it determines whether the communication style of Twitter users is informative, interactive or balanced

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleA lagrangian approach allows the turbulent diffusion coefficient and the lagrangian correlation time to be estimated from the expression of the VHP radar signal autocorrelation fonction. A measurement technique, using the beam broadening effect, allows the estimation of the correlation length of the refractive-index flutuations. The estimation of the following parameters are presented: turbulent velocity, aspect sensitivity and correlation length. An original beam forming technique is realized with only one antenna. The obtained 2D patterns and wind velocity estimation are successfully compared with those obtained with a classical technic using 16 antennas. A realisation of an HF radar (20MHz), as a sounding system of the lower neutral atmosphere, is presented for the first time. The preliminary resluts are discussed
