Structured Literature Review for a Conceptualization of Function as a Service

<p>This bundle contains for every step in the structured literature review (SLR) a bibliography file.</p> <p>Here are the three URLs for the search on the respective search engine:</p> <p>Search strings on the three search engines:</p> <ul> <li>https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/search/searchresult.jsp?action=search&amp;newsearch=true&amp;matchBoolean=true&amp;queryText=(%22All%20Metadata%22:%22Function%20as%20a%20Service%22%20OR%20%22All%20Metadata%22:%22FaaS%22%20OR%20%22All%20Metadata%22:%22Serverless%22)%20AND%20(%22Full%20Text%20.AND.%20Metadata%22:%22definition%22)&amp;highlight=true&amp;returnType=SEARCH&amp;matchPubs=true&amp;rowsPerPage=100&amp;pageNumber=1&amp;returnFacets=ALL</li> <li>https://dl.acm.org/action/doSearch?fillQuickSearch=false&amp;target=advanced&amp;expand=all&amp;AllField=Abstract%3A%28%28%22Function+as+a+Service%22+OR+%22FaaS%22+OR+%22Serverless%22%29%29+AND+AllField%3A%28%22definition%22%29</li> <li>https://scholar.google.de/scholar?hl=en&amp;as_sdt=0%2C5&amp;q=%28%22Function+as+a+Service%22+OR+%22FaaS%22+OR+%22Serverless%22%29+AND+%22definition%22&amp;btnG=</li> </ul> <p>The result of each step:</p> <ul> <li>Step 1 contains the raw list of all 471 entries.</li> <li>Step 2 contains a list of 40 papers after filtering the papers from step 1</li> <li>Step 3 contains a list of 19 papers after skimming the papers from step 2 and selecting the relevant ones</li> <li>Step 4 contains the snowballed papers, in total 27</li> <li>Step 5 contains the final set of 23 papers where the snowballed papers were assessed.</li> </ul> <p>The PDF (slrDefinition) shows the process of the SLR, whereas the spreadsheet (slr_faasConceptualization) contains all the information why papers where included/excluded as well as the characteristics identified in each paper.</p> <p>Furthermore, it includes the two CNCF definitions for Serverless and Function as a Service for archiving purposes.</p>
