Abstract(in English) A typical approach for configuring a virtual network (VN) over an optical network is to design an optimal VN with a knowledge of the end-to-end traffic demand matrix. However, it is difficult to configure the optimal VN using the traffic demand matrix in a changing environment. We have previously proposed a bayesian-approach for VN reconfiguration without using the traffic demand matrix. The approach memorizes a set of ``good" VNs, each of which works well for a certain traffic situation, and identify the current traffic situation using Bayesian inference, and then retrieve one of the VNs suitable for the current traffic situation. We use the amounts of outgoing/incoming traffic at edge routers as the traffic situation. However, this approach has difficulty in dealing with the case when the identification of the traffic situation fails. In this paper, we develop a VN reconfiguration method to deal with this case. In our method, the current traffic situation is fitted by linear regression, and then our method designs a VN using the obtained regression coefficients. Evaluation results show that our method can design a VN suitable for the current traffic demand when the identification of the traffic situation fails. We also discuss how to select and update the set of pre-specified traffic situations, and found that it is effective to select a set of traffic situations to have linear independence.
