This open access book was prepared as a Final Publication of the COST Action IC1304 “Autonomous Control for a Reliable Internet of Services (ACROSS)”. The book contains 14 chapters and constitutes a show-case of the main outcome of the Action in line with its scientific goals. It will serve as a valuable reference for undergraduate and post-graduate students, educators, faculty members, researchers, engineers, and research strategists working in this field. The explosive growth of the Internet has fundamentally changed the global society. The emergence of concepts like SOA, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, NaaS, and Cloud Computing in general has catalyzed the migration from the information-oriented Internet into an Internet of Services (IoS). This has opened up virtually unbounded possibilities for the creation of new and innovative services that facilitate business processes and improve the quality of life. However, this also calls for new approaches to ensuring the quality and reliability of these services. The objective of this book is, by applying a systematic approach, to assess the state-of-the-art and consolidate the main research results achieved in this area.

As an important future network architecture, virtual network architecture has received extensive attention. Virtual network embedding (VNE) is one of the core services of network virtualization (NV). It provides solutions for various network applications from the perspective of virtual network resource allocation. The Internet aims to provide global users with comprehensive coverage. The network function requests of hundreds of millions of end users have brought great pressure to the underlying network architecture. VNE algorithm can provide effective support for the reasonable and efficient allocation of network resources, so as to alleviate the pressure off the Internet. At present, a distinctive feature of the Internet environment is that the quality of service (QoS) requirements of users are differentiated. Different regions, different times, and different users have different network function requirements. Therefore, network resources need to be reasonably allocated according to users' QoS requirements to avoid the waste of network resources. In this book, based on the analysis of the principle of VNE algorithm, we provide a VNE scheme for users with differentiated QoS requirements. We summarize the common user requirements into four categories: security awareness, service awareness, energy awareness, and load balance, and then introduce the specific implementation methods of various differentiated QoS algorithms. This book provides a variety of VNE solutions, including VNE algorithms for single physical domain, VNE algorithms for across multiple physical domains, VNE algorithms based on heuristic method, and VNE algorithms based on machine learning method.

SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS Software defined networking suggests an alternative worldview, one that comes with a new software stack to which this book is organized, with the goal of presenting a top-to-bottom tour of SDN without leaving any significant gaps that the reader might suspect can only be filled with magic or proprietary code. Software defined networking (SDN) is an architecture designed to make a network more flexible and easier to manage. SDN has been widely adopted across data centers, WANs, and access networks and serves as a foundational element of a comprehensive intent-based networking (IBN) architecture. Although SDN has so far been limited to automated provisioning and configuration, IBN now adds “translation” and “assurance” so that the complete network cycle can be automated, continuously aligning the network to business needs. In 14 chapters, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of an SDN-based network as a scalable distributed system running on commodity hardware. The reader will have a one-stop reference looking into the applications, architectures, functionalities, virtualization, security, and privacy challenges connected to SDN. Audience Researchers in software, IT, and electronic engineering as well as industry engineers and technologists working in areas such as network virtualization, Python network programming, CISCO ACI, software defined network, and cloud computing.
