A computer implemented method determines a placement of an application being added to a network. The method includes determining a logical-physical mapping for the application. Sub-graphs in the logical-physical mapping are identified. A stored application in a catalog of applications previously used in the network is located. The stored application includes one of the sub-graphs in the logical-physical mapping. An experiment is generated, performed by a computing device running a neural network model, using the sub-graphs. The experiment includes inducing a physical node mapping for the sub-graph. A cost function associated with a placement of the application being added to the network to one or more physical nodes in the induced physical node mapping is determined.

Generative experiments for application deployment in 5G networks

A computer-implemented method and a computer system establish network slices within a physical network having a plurality of network elements. The method includes receiving a request to instantiate a network slice at a network element. The method also includes determining a performance metric of the network element. The method further includes delaying instantiation of the requested network slice within the network element in response to determining that the performance metric of the network element is below a threshold. The method also includes instantiating the requested network slice within the network element in response to determining that the performance metric of the network element is at or above the threshold. Finally, the method includes deactivating the requested network slice in response to determining that the performance metric of the network element is below the threshold at a time subsequent to instantiating the requested network slice.
