CALL FOR PAPERS
4th INT. WORKSHOP ON ADAPTIVE SERVICES FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET
WAS4FI 2014
Held in conjunction with ESOCC 2014
September 2, 2014, Manchester, UK

Paper Submission Due: May 30th, 2014
GOALS
=====
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
(such as those RDF, OWL, SOAP, REST and 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: for example, in the provisioning
of services, availability of things and contents, connectivity of
networks, diversity of user devices etc. They should also bear in mind
that the Future Internet should provide a better experience for the user
journey, 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. 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. Future Internet systems, however, will also
need to sense and respond to a huge amount of signals sourced from
different entities in real-time. In this context, an event would be
detected if, for example, there is non-existence of a signal which
normally occurs, affecting the execution of other services. These events
would be produced by IoT and processed in the IoS. In order to build
business level events Complex Event Processing (CEP) may be used. CEP
allows detecting complex and meaningful events and inferring valuable
knowledge for end users. The main advantage of using CEP to process
complex events is that the latter can be identified and reported in real
time, reducing the latency in decision making, unlike the methods used
in traditional software for event analysis. Event-Driven
Service-Oriented Architectures (ED-SOA or SOA 2.0) are also being used
to respond to events that occur as a result of business processes.
The first edition of WAS4FI was held in conjunction with ServiceWave
2011, in Poznan, Poland, on October 28th 2011. The second edition was
held in conjunction with ESOCC 2012, in Bertinoro, Italy, on September
19th 2012. The third edition was also held in conjunction with ESOCC
2013, in Málaga, Spain, on September 11th 2013. In this fourth edition,
WAS4FI again aims to bring together the community at ESOCC and addresses
different aspects of adaptive Future Internet applications, emphasizing
the importance of governing the convergence of contents, services,
things and networks in order to achieve building platforms for
efficiency, scalability, security and flexible adaptation. In this
workshop, we cover the foundations of the aforementioned technologies as
well as new emerging proposals for their potential in Future Internet
services. To promote collaboration, WAS4FI has a highly interactive
format with short technical sessions complemented by discussions on
Adaptive Services in the Future Internet Applications.
TOPICS
======
WAS4FI encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers
that address challenges of Future Internet applications. Participation

=======================
Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research
papers in two categories. Both regular papers (must not exceed 12 pages)
and short papers (must not exceed 8 pages) should be written in English
and following LNCS format. Please, submit papers via the WAS4FI
