RePAF Project – Resource Provisioning and Allocation Framework ![enter image description here][1] **Abstract**: ReFAP Project, in brief, investigates new dynamic resource allocation solutions (NP-hard problem) computed nearly on-the-fly with autonomic characteristics. The project ReFAP (Resource Provisioning and Allocation Framework) develops a new resource (provisioning) allocation model (RPAM – Resource Provisioning and Allocation Model) and a framework (F-DARM – Framework for Dynamic and Autonomic Resource Management) that integrates RPAM functionalities towards resource allocation with autonomic characteristics. F-DRAM framework architecture is based on OpenFlow/SDN paradigm, integrates the autonomic functionalities and adopts knowledge acquisition strategies using learning techniques to support the allocation and provisioning methods with dynamic and autonomic characteristics. F-DRAM framework supports resource allocation for MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching) networks, Elastic Optical Networks (EON), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and IoT with Cloud Computing support (IoT-Cloud). ** 1. RePAF with OpenFlow/SDN Deployment ** RePAF project adopts OpenFlow/SDN as the deployment paradigm for effective resource allocation on MPLS networks. ![enter image description here][2] [1]: https://jsmnet.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/7-fdarm-architectural-components.jpg [2]: https://jsmnet.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/8-fdarm-framework-sdn-execution-plan2.jpg
