The book is devoted to the selected resource allocation problems in Software- Defined Networks. Moreover, it covers results concerning Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) which is one of the current networking hot topics. The variety of different cases is considered including virtualization and information-centric paradigm. For each case, the mathematical model together with the problem formulation is given and some solution algorithms are proposed. The algorithms are discussed and evaluated, mostly with simulations.

It is shown in this book how to take advantage of convex optimisation methods (like Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions or augmented Lagrangian algorithm) and game-theoretical concepts (including the idea of Nash equilibrium and Pareto-optimality) to perform efficient resource management in the SDNs
