PhD TIM- Search and Review Literature Related to Software Defined Networking

Read the assigned resources pertaining to this week’s topics. Conduct a comprehensive literature search and locate six additional scholarly peer-reviewed works that provide sufficient background on the topic of software defined networks (in general). Then construct a thematically sorted, critical annotated bibliography of all the works addressing the items below (for each work).

• The      work’s purpose
• A      concise summary of its contents
• Its relevance      to the topic
• An      analysis of the contribution’s unique characteristics

This annotated bibliography should provide sufficient background on the topic to provide a foundation for additional scholarly work.

Also, note that the analysis of the works should not focus on any challenges faced with the technologies’ implementation, development, or application as a technological analysis will be conducted next week.

Finally, write a short introduction that orients your reader to the works and highlights any major findings or common themes.

Lengths: Introduction: 250-500 words (1 page); Annotations: 250-300 words each (half page); Total assignment: 2,500-3,000 words (7-9 pages)

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards
