Software Networking: Journal Volume 1 - 2016 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788793519527)

Software defined networking(SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) technologies have received significant attention over the last few years. In contrast to traditional networks, SDN decouples the control and data planes through an open and standard interface to enhance programmability and flexibility of carrier grade networks.

SDN is complementary technology to NFV for achieving unified network abstraction and suitable for managing connectivity because the controller has a global view of the network. SDN plays major role in the infrastructure of NFV. However, networks built using SDN and NFV approaches are expected to face several challenges such as scalability, robustness and resiliency.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

- Advancement in SDN technology

- SDN and NFV

- Interworking with legacy networks, Application & management of SDN/NFV

- Artificial Intelligence

- Internet of Things

- Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering

- Mobile, Wireless Networks and Applications

- Security in Mobile and Wireless
