Abstract(in English) Along with the development of network virtualization technology, service chaining is also gathering a lot of attention. In service chaining, the composition and scale of each service chain can be flexibly configured through network virtualization. In that case, it is necessary to change the service chain rapidly according to requests of users and temporal variations of traffic. However, due to the large number of connected devices expected for Internet of Things (IoT) services, it will be difficult to provide the appropriate sizes of network functions in real time. Here, we apply the knowledge of biological evolvability to this problem. It has been shown that the modularity of biological networks arises spontaneously in the process of evolution, which leads to a high ability to adapt to varying environments. In this work, we propose a technique inspired by such biological evolvability to rapidly adapt service chains to changes of the network condition.
