Workshop scope
--------------

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 commuication 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.

* Integration strategies
* Monitoring and management of services integration 
* Contracting and negotiating approaches of integration
* Ontologies of integration  
* Secure pervasive integration
