Nowadays, we are experiencing a growing interest in data science, a relatively new discipline at the intersection between Statistical Learning, Engineering and Operations Research in which practitioners develop and use techniques and algorithms to extract useful insights from an increasing number of huge collections of data. However, the real challenge is not only to find proper ways to deal with the volume of data but also be able to cope with their velocity, variety, veracity and value (the so-called 5 Vs of Big Data). The majority of the datasets are characterized by a large number of high-dimensional patterns, such as those found in genetics, chemistry, finance etc. Others are also characterized by a high level of noise or missing values.

This thesis tackles the optimization of energy efficiency in data centers in terms of network and server utilization.

Both the use of very large arrays of antennas and flexible time division duplexing (TDD) designs have become prominent features of next generation 5G cellular systems.

Learning and Intelligent Optimization (LION) is the combination of machine learning from data and optimization to solve challenging and dynamic problems, previously thought to require intelligent human intervention and creativity.

We discuss some applications of Bayesian games to interesting networking scenarios.

The Internet faces a fundamental resource shortage problem: We have run out of freely available IPv4 address space. Today, four out of five of the registries serving the global demand for IPv4 address space have exhausted their address reserves. Networks in need of IPv4 address space can no longer get more address allocations from their respective registries.

5TONIC, junto con IMDEA Networks, OpenDayLight, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) y Telefónica anuncian la celebración del evento ‘Workshop on OpenDayLight and NFV/SDN Orchestration’, que se celebrará en la UC3M el día 19 de octubre. Este evento es patrocinado por la Fundación Linux.
