Surfing the SWAVES: Lifecycle-aware Service Placement in MEC
In Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) networks, users covered by a mobile network can exploit edge clouds (ECs), computational resources located at the network's edge, to execute virtual network functions (VNFs). ECs are particularly useful when deploying VNFs with strict delay and availability requirements. As users roam in the network and get handed over between cells, deployed VNFs must follow users to retain the benefits of edge computing. Yet, having VNFs ready at the closest EC can be chal…

I'm using two routers at the time. One, provided by the ISP, is on a windowsill in the living room, where the fiber ends. The other is in the corridor, connecting all the devices.
Sometime around the house renovation, Lulu 🐱 started behaving hostile towards Ruh 🐱. So when we moved back in, they divided the house: Ruh would sit in my room, while Lulu would roam the rest of the house. And of course, the windowsill router was one of her favorite places.
Over time, Ruh got bolder and started visiting other rooms. Even though Lulu regularly chased her away, she wasn't successful in keeping her away. So eventually Ruh started visiting the windowsill as well. She apparently wasn't really interested in the router, but her presence sufficed to discouraged Lulu.
So Lulu eventually discovered the other router.

Root/Additional Metric (RoAM) framework: a guide for goal-centred metric construction
The use of metrics underpins the quantification, communication and, ultimately, the functioning of a wide range of disciplines as diverse as labour recruitment, institutional management, economics and science. For application of metrics, customised scores are widely employed to optimise progress monitoring towards a goal, to contribute to decision-making, and to quantify situations under evaluation. However, the development of such metrics in complex and rigorous settings intrinsically relies o…

Multiplicity of young isolated planetary mass objects in Taurus and Upper Scorpius
Free-floating planetary mass objects-worlds that roam interstellar space untethered to a parent star-challenge conventional notions of planetary formation and migration, but also of star and brown dwarf formation. We focus on the multiplicity among free-floating planets. By virtue of their low binding energy (compared to other objects formed in these environments), these low-mass substellar binaries represent a most sensitive probe of the mechanisms at play during the star formation process. We…
