<font color="#000099">SERVICES FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Submission deadline: April 4th, 2014</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099"><br></font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">SCOPE AND TOPICS</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099"><br></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 </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">changing global needs of business and society. It offers internet users a </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">standardized, secure, efficient and trustable environment, which allows </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">open and distributed 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 </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">(such as those RDF, OWL, SOAP, REST and WS-BPEL), enabling distributed </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">systems and entities to be described in a scalable and flexible robust </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">dynamic environment. Multi-tenancy will enable their remote access as </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Software as a Service (SaaS), by performing the integration into larger </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">networks of communicating software (e.g., a mashup or a plug-in to a </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Cloud platform). Future Internet applications will have to support the </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">interoperability between many diverse stakeholders by governing the </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">convergence and life-cycle of Internet of Contents (IoC), Services (IoS), </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Things (IoT), and Networks (IoN). These applications should handle dynamic </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">and continuous change: for example, in the provisioning of services, </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">availability of things and contents, connectivity of networks, diversity </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">of user devices, etc. They should also bear in mind that the Future </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">Internet should provide a better experience for the user journey, with </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">personalized and context-aware contents, adapted to their preferences, </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">and where users also play an active part in 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 </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">(SOA), Cloud Computing and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) give benefits, </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">such as flexibility, scalability, security, interoperability, and </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">adaptability, for building these applications. Although there already </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">are emerging solutions to host software services and data on remote </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">computers and create public sensor networks by using these technologies; </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">the mentioned solutions employ simple technical approaches related to </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">replication strategies to ensure availability and to achieve a </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">load-balancing scalability. Future Internet systems however, will also </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">need to sense and respond to a huge amount of signals sourced from </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">different entities in real-time. In this context, an event would be </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">detected if, for example, there is non-existence of a signal which </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">normally occurs, affecting the execution of other services. These </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">events would be produced by IoT and processed in the IoS. In order to </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">build business level events Complex Event Processing (CEP) may be used. </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">CEP allows detecting complex and meaningful events and inferring </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">valuable knowledge for end users.The main advantage of using CEP to </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">process complex events is that the latter can be identified and </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">reported in real time, reducing the latency in decision making, </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">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 </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">also being used to respond to events that occur as a result of </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">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 </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">governing the convergence of contents, services, things and networks </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">in order to achieve building platforms for efficiency, scalability, </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">security and flexible adaptation. It will cover the foundations of </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">the aforementioned technologies as well as new emerging proposals for </font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000099">their potential in Future Internet services. Then, this special issue </font></div>
