Zeng D., Gu L., Pan S., Guo S. Software Defined Systems: Sensing, Communication and Computation

Springer, 2019. — 121 p. — (Springer Briefs in Computer Science). — ISBN: 978-3-030-32941-9.This book introduces the software defined system concept, architecture, and its enabling technologies such as software defined sensor networks (SDSN), software defined radio, cloud/fog radio access networks (C/F-RAN), software defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), software defined storage, virtualization and docker. The authors also discuss the resource allocation and task scheduling in software defined system, mainly focusing on sensing, communication, networking and computation.
Related case studies on SDSN, C/F-RAN, SDN, NFV are included in this book, and the authors discuss how these technologies cooperate with each other to enable cross resource management and task scheduling in software defined system. Novel resource allocation and task scheduling algorithms are introduced and evaluated.
This book targets researchers, computer scientists and engineers who are interested in the information system softwarization technologies, resource allocation and optimization algorithm design, performance evaluation and analysis, next-generation communication and networking technologies, edge computing, cloud computing and IoT. Advanced level students studying these topics will benefit from this book as well.Software Defined Sensing
