- ORIGINALITY: Proposes an original algorithm for optimal allocation of virtualized resources at the network Edge to minimize service-to-user latency for time-critical services. SIGNIFICANCE: The work has attracted interest from BT and formed the basis for iCASE award (EP/R511936/1) to research lightweight NFV for virtual Customer Premises Equipment. Published at the premier conference on Computer Communications and already highly cited. RIGOUR: The paper contains the analytical formulation of the vNF placement problem, and was implemented and evaluated using a combination of simulation and testbed experiments based on real latency measurements over a national ISP (JISC) infrastructure.
