Talk description
Network Functions Virtualization is an emerging area of research that enables hardware appliances in networks to be replaced by software appliances in data centers. The talk will discuss various emerging research directions in this area such as policy-based resource management, data center resource optimization, viral content management, security in NFV systems, and open interfaces for information exchange in such systems.
