Abstract
A method of reinforcement learning is used for placement of a plurality of service functions at nodes of a telecommunications network. The state of the system is defined by an allocation matrix, wherein each first vector of the allocation matrix corresponds to a respective one of the nodes of the telecommunications network, each second vector of the allocation matrix corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of service functions. Moreover, each cell of the allocation matrix contains a value 1 if the one of the plurality of service functions corresponding to the respective second vector is placed on the one of the nodes of the telecommunications network corresponding to the respective first vector, and otherwise contains a value 0.
