Software Defined Networking for Ad Hoc Networks

This book offers a comprehensive overview of Software-Defined Network (SDN) based ad-hoc network technologies and exploits recent developments in this domain, with a focus on emerging technologies in SDN based ad-hoc networks. The authors offer practical and innovative applications in Network Security, Smart Cities, e-health, and Intelligent Systems. This book also addresses several key issues in SDN energy-efficient systems, the Internet of Things, Big Data, Cloud Computing and Virtualization, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Cryptography. The book includes different ad hoc networks such as MANETs and VANETs, along with a focus on evaluating and comparing existing SDN-related research on various parameters. The book provides students, researchers, and practicing engineers with an expert guide to the fundamental concepts, challenges, architecture, applications, and state-of-the-art developments in the field.
