Based on your topic allocation (available here), and a provided key reference
(available here) answer the following question:
What would you identify as the frontier in your nominated field?
The scope of your literature review should focus primarily on journal articles within
the last 3-5 years, and be limited to the nominated field. The length of this review
should be 1 or at most 2 pages in single column format in Times New Roman 12
point font or similar. It should include about 10 references, cited properly in IEEE
style throughout the review as has been demonstrated in lectures. However, you
may need to find and read about 20 papers to pick the most relevant papers. The
review should act as a sketched map of the literature, with minimal background
and specifically identifying the frontier of a specific topic.
Please do not summarise any of the references in detail and do not explain how
something works.
For detailed guidelines, please see: Lecture 4 (Part 1) - Literature Review Tutorial

Conclusion:
Verbs
To incorporate quotations/references into a literature review, you can use a variety of verbs. These verbs
are often used with prepositions, e.g. by, on, for, about. It is poor writing to use the same ones all the time,
e.g. says that, states that. Verbs also allow the writer to indicate the degree to which they support the
author of the research, e.g. claims that versus argues that. The following verbs (and prepositions) can be
used to introduce references into your literature review. Please note that they can be used in different
tenses.
