<font color="#000099"><b>SCOPE AND TOPICS</b></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">The Future Internet has emerged as a new initiative to pave a novel</font></div><div class="gmail_default">
<font color="#000099">infrastructure linked to objects (things) of the real world to meet the changing</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">global needs of business and society. It offers internet users a standardized,</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">secure, efficient and trustable environment, which allows open and distributed</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">access to global networks, services and information. </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">To be consistently adopted, the Future Internet will be enabled through</font></div><div class="gmail_default">
<font color="#000099">standards-based notations for messaging, semantics, process and state (such as</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">those RDF, OWL, SOAP, REST and WS-BPEL), enabling distributed systems and</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">entities to be described in a scalable and flexible robust dynamic</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">environment. Multi-tenancy will enable their remote access as Software as</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">a Service (SaaS), by performing the integration into larger networks of</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">communicating software (e.g., a mashup or a plug-in to a Cloud platform).</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Future Internet applications will have to support the interoperability</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">between many diverse stakeholders by governing the convergence and life</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">-cycle of Internet of Contents (IoC), Services (IoS), Things (IoT), and</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Networks (IoN). These applications should handle dynamic and continuous</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">change: for example, in the provisioning of services, availability of things and</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">contents, connectivity of networks, diversity of user devices etc. They</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">should also bear in mind that the Future Internet should provide a better</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">experience for the user journey, with personalized and context-aware contents,</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">adapted to their preferences, and where users also play an active part in</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">creating or sharing services. </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">There is a need for both researchers and practitioners to develop</font></div><div class="gmail_default">
<font color="#000099">platforms made up of adaptive Future Internet applications. In this</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">sense, the emergence and consolidation of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA),</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Cloud Computing and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) give benefits, such as</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">flexibility, scalability, security, interoperability, and adaptability, for</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">building these applications. Although there already are emerging solutions</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">to host software services and data on remote computers and create public</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">sensor networks by using these technologies; the mentioned solutions</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">employ simple technical approaches related to replication strategies to</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">ensure availability and to achieve a load-balancing scalability. Future</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Internet systems however, will also need to sense and respond to a huge amount</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">of signals sourced from different entities in real-time. In this context, an</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">event would be detected if, for example, there is non-existence of a signal</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">which normally occurs, affecting the execution of other services. These events</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">would be produced by IoT and processed in the IoS. In order to build business</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">level events Complex Event Processing (CEP) may be used. CEP allows detecting</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">complex and meaningful events and inferring valuable knowledge for end users.</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">The main advantage of using CEP to process complex events is that the latter can</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">be identified and reported in real time, reducing the latency in decision</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">making, unlike the methods used in traditional software for event analysis.</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Event-Driven Service-Oriented Architectures (ED-SOA or SOA 2.0) are also being</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">used to respond to events that occur as a result of business processes.</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default">
<font color="#000099">The aim of this Special Issue is to address different aspects of</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">adaptive Future Internet applications, emphasizing the importance of governing</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">the convergence of contents, services, things and networks in order to</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">achieve building platforms for efficiency, scalability, security and flexible</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">adaptation. It will cover the foundations of the aforementioned technologies as</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">well as new emerging proposals for their potential in Future Internet</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">services. Then, this special issue encourages a multidisciplinary</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">perspective and welcomes papers that address challenges of Future Internet</font></div>
