WAS4FI 2012 - 2nd International Workshop on Adaptive Services for the Future Internet

CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd INT. WORKSHOP ON ADAPTIVE SERVICES FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET
WAS4FI 2012
Held in conjunction with ESOCC 2012
September 19, 2012, Bertinoro, Italy

Paper Submission Due: June 15, 2012
GOALS

Future Internet has emerged as a new initiative to pave a novel infrastructure
linked to objects and things of the real world to meet the changing global needs
of business and society.
Technologies such as those based on XML and RDF or OWL to describe data and
semantic information, SOAP or REST to define protocols and BPEL or BPMN to
orchestrate business processes are being increasingly used to specify Future
Internet services in a standardized manner, which will allow software and data
no longer to be stored and distributed on individual computers. Instead,
multitenancy will enable their remote access as Software as a Service (SaaS),
even by performing the integration into larger networks of communicating
software (e.g., a mashup or a plug-in to a Cloud platform). Future Internet
applications will have to support the interoperability between many diverse
stakeholders by governing the convergence and life-cycle of Internet of Contents
(IoC), Services (IoS), Things (IoT), and Networks (IoN). These applications
should handle dynamic and continuous changes: for instance, in the provisioning
of services, availability of things and contents, connectivity of networks,
diversity of user devices and so on and so forth.
There is a need for both researchers and practitioners to develop platforms made
up of adaptive Future Internet applications. In this sense, the emergence and
consolidation of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), Cloud Computing and
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) rise benefits, such as flexibility, scalability,
security, interoperability, and adaptability, for building these applications.
Although there already are emerging solutions to host software services and data
on remote computers and create public sensor networks by using these
technologies; the mentioned solutions employ simple technical approaches related
to replication strategies to ensure availability and to achieve a load-balancing
scalability.
The first edition of WAS4FI 2011 was held in conjunction with ServiceWave 2011,
in Poznan, Poland, on 28th October 2011. In this second edition, the aim of
WAS4FI is drawing together the community in ESOCC interested in addressing
different aspects related to adaptive Future Internet applications, emphasizing
the importance of governing the convergence of contents, services, things and
networks in order to achieve efficient, scalable, secure and adaptive platforms
to build Future Internet applications. In this workshop, we cover the
foundations of the aforementioned technologies as well as new emerging proposals
with a relevant potential for Future Internet services. To promote collaboration
the WAS4FI workshop has a highly interactive format with short technical
sessions complemented by discussions about Adaptive Services in the Future
Internet Applications.
TOPICS

WAS4FI encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers that
address challenges of Future Internet applications. Participation of researchers
and practitioners from academia and industry are encouraged in order to promote
cross-community interactions thus avoiding disconnection between these groups.

- Dynamic Internet Content Delivery
- Run-Time Monitoring, Services Evolution and Maintenance
- Model-Driven SOA and Service Systems Deployment
- Sensor Web Enablement and Web-Connected Devices (Sensor Web, smartphone, RFID)
- Services Computing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Mobile Ad-hoc
Networks (MANET)
- Service-Oriented Middleware Deployment for Sensor as a Service
- Software Engineering for Sensors in the Internet of Things

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers
in two categories. Both regular papers (must not exceed 8 pages) and short
papers (must not exceed 4 pages) should be written in English and, strictly
following the ACM ICPS format. Please, submit papers via the WAS4FI conference
management tool (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=was4fi2...) in PDF
format. For formatting instructions and templates see the ACM Digital Library
Web page: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-t...
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the international program
committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance,
technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. Post-workshop proceedings
are planned to be published (this information will be detailed further).
At least one author of an accepted paper must register and participate in the
workshop. Registration is subject to the terms, conditions and procedure of
the main ESOCC conference to be found on their website:
