Software Defined Mobile Networks (SDMN)

Acknowledgments

This book focuses on software defined mobile networks, which has been created by the joint effort of many people. First of all, we would like to thank all of the chapter authors for doing a great job!

This book would not have been possible without the help of many people. The initial idea for this book originated during our work in SIGMONA (SDN Concept in Generalized Mobile Network Architectures) project. Many of the partners not only motivated us but also contributed with various chapters. We would like to acknowledge the contributions of all the partners in CELTIC SIGMONA project.

Also we thank all the reviewers for helping us to select suitable chapters for the book. Moreover, we thank anonymous reviewers who have evaluated the proposal and gave plenty of useful suggestions for improving it. Ulf Ewaldsson (Ericsson) and Lauri Oksanen (Nokia) wrote nice forewords for the book and we really appreciate their effort. We thank Clarissa Lim, Sandra Grayson, Liz Wingett, and Anna Smart from John Wiley and Sons for help and support in getting the book published. Also, we would like to thank Brian Mullan (Cisco), Jari Lehmusvuori (Nokia), and James Kempf (Ericsson) for their continuous support on various occasions to complete this book.

Also, Madhusanka is grateful to the Centre for Wireless Communication (CWC) and University of Oulu for hosting the SDN mobile related research projects which helped him to gain the fundamental knowledge for this book. We also thank ...
