Kick-Off Meeting

CloudNets: Connecting Cloud Resources with Virtual Networks

I will first give an overview of the network virtualization trend in today's Internet, as well as different use cases that might be of interest to VINO. Subsequently, I will present some related projects and initiatives at T-Labs, and in particular the CloudNet project. I will then focus on optimization problems and put them into perspective with respect to related classical TCS problems. I will also present some first exact models and heuristic approaches we developed in our group, and give a quick intro in our optimization framework.
