In the last years, service-oriented computing and pervasive computing are emerging as the next computing paradigms. Service-oriented computing allows to easily develop, publish and use software functionalities. Pervasive computing rests on mobile and/or embedded devices, available anywhere and anytime, that can potentially provide services. Bringing these two trends together raises the new challenge of integrating/unintegrating, in an application, non-predefined services just discovered in the pervasive environment.
Three main sub-areas of this challenge are tackled in this workshop:
Frameworks/Infrastructures for services integration: different developing frameworks exist and can be used or modified to ease services integration; different deployment infrastructures also exist and can be adapted to take into account the pervasive nature of the environment.
Services interactions: allowing non-predefined services to interact implies to have 'smart' and adaptive matching and communication mechanisms.
Dynamic combining of services: because pervasive environments are highly dynamic, the integration of services needs to be aware of context changes to choose the more appropriate combining/deployment techniques.
We
welcome the submission of papers from the full spectrum of issues related to services integration in pervasive environments. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
Developing frameworks for services integration
Deployment infrastructures for services integration
Semantic services discovery and matching
Adaptive communication protocols for pervasive services
Context-aware integration
Aspect-oriented approaches in pervasive environments
Services composition in pervasive environments
Integration strategies
Monitoring and management of services integration
Contracting and negotiating approaches of integration
Authors
are invited to submit original manuscripts, which should be written in English
and with a very precise and concise presentation of no more than 6 pages in IEEE
double-column format. Authors are invited to send their manuscripts as an attachment
(PDF or PS format) by email to the workshop chair at frederic.le-mouel@insa-lyon.fr. Submission
implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present
the paper. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE (please download the copyright form and send it by fax to Kelly Sutton, fax number: 1-520-621-1443 or by email at epd@engr.arizona.edu).
