Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Network Virtualization is expected to handle the various network traffic induced by such as IoT applications because a virtual network can be constructed adaptively to each type of applications. Since the traffic patterns changes with time, the virtual network should be reconstructed dynamically to accommodate increasing traffic and to release the unused resources. However, collecting the entire information of traffic is quite hard if the targeted application is deployed on a wide-rage network. Thus, it is required to handle the uncertainty of information caused by the incompleteness of data and dynamics of changing traffic. In this paper, we propose applying the brain mechanism to the virtual network reconstruction, which deals with the uncertain information in decision making. Since the decision making in the brain is formulated as Bayesian Attractor Model(BAttM), we reformulate the virtual network reconstruction according to the BAttM to handle the uncertainty of sensing information. Moreover, we introduce the prediction of which decision is more likely selected in the future to decide the appropriate topology quickly. In the evaluation, we show that the proposal method quickly sets the appropriate topology even with using the uncertain sensing information. Additionally, we show that the prediction mechanism shortens the time required to decide the topology.
