WAS4FI 2013 - 3rd International Workshop on Adaptive Services for the Future Internet (WAS4FI 2013)

The Future Internet has emerged as a new initiative to pave a novel infrastructure linked to objects (things) of the real world to meet the changing global needs of business and society. It offers Internet users a standardized, secure, efficient and trustable environment, which allows open and distributed access to global networks, services and information.
To be consistently adopted, the Future Internet will be enabled through standards-based notations for messaging, semantics, process and state (RDF, OWL, SOAP, REST, WS-BPEL), enabling distributed systems and entities to be described in a scalable and flexible robust dynamic environment. Multi-tenancy will enable their remote access as Software as a Service (SaaS), 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 change, as well as provide a better experience for the user, with personalized and context-aware contents, adapted to their preferences, and where users also play an active part in creating or sharing services.
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) give benefits, such as flexibility, scalability, security, interoperability, and adaptability, for building these applications. Future Internet systems will need to sense and respond to a huge amount of signals sourced from different entities in real-time. In this context, Complex Event Processing (CEP), or Event-Driven Service-Oriented Architectures (ED-SOA or SOA 2.0) may be used to build business level events.
WAS4FI addresses different aspects of adaptive Future Internet applications, emphasizing the importance of governing the convergence of contents, services, things and networks to achieve building platforms for efficiency, scalability, security and flexible adaptation. WAS4FI covers the foundations of these technologies as well as new emerging proposals. To promote collaboration, WAS4FI has a highly interactive format with short technical sessions complemented by discussions on Adaptive Services in the Future Internet Applications. 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 and thus avoiding disconnection between these groups.
