GOALS
=====

Future Internet has emerged as a new initiative to  pave a  novel 
infrastructure
linked to objects and things of the real world to meet the changing 
global needs
of business and society.

Technologies  such as  those  based on XML and RDF or OWL to  describe  
data and
semantic  information,  SOAP or REST  to  define  protocols and BPEL or 
BPMN  to
orchestrate  business  processes are  being increasingly  used to 
specify Future
Internet services in a standardized manner,  which  will allow software 
and data
no  longer  to  be  stored  and distributed on  individual  computers.  
Instead,
multitenancy  will  enable their remote access as  Software as a Service 
(SaaS),
even  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 changes:  for instance, in the 
provisioning
of services,  availability of  things  and  contents,  connectivity of 
networks,
diversity of user devices and so on and so forth.

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) rise 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.

The first  edition of WAS4FI 2011 was held in conjunction with 
ServiceWave 2011,
in Poznan,  Poland,  on 28th October 2011.  In this second  edition,  
the aim of
WAS4FI  is  drawing  together the community in  ESOCC interested  in  
addressing
different aspects related to adaptive Future Internet applications,  
emphasizing
the importance of governing  the convergence of contents,  services,  
things and
networks in order to achieve efficient,  scalable, secure and adaptive 
platforms
to  build  Future  Internet   applications.  In  this  workshop,  we  
cover  the
foundations of the aforementioned technologies as well as new emerging 
proposals
with a relevant potential for Future Internet services. To promote 
collaboration
the  WAS4FI  workshop  has  a  highly  interactive  format with  short 
technical
sessions  complemented  by discussions  about  Adaptive Services  in 
the  Future
Internet Applications.


TOPICS
======

WAS4FI  encourages  a  multidisciplinary  perspective  and  welcomes 
papers that
address challenges of Future Internet applications. Participation of 
researchers
and practitioners  from academia and industry are encouraged in order to 
promote
cross-community  interactions  thus avoiding disconnection between these 
groups.
Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:


- Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA)
- Cloud Computing Environments (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS)
- Services Mashups Development

- Self-Adaptive Services and Applications and Autonomic Computing
- Context-Aware, Mobile and Pervasive Adaptive Services on the Cloud
- Emerging Internet of Things (IoT) Business Models
- Business Models for Quality of Services (QoS) and Cost of Services (CoS)
- Adaptation Contract and Service Level Agreements (SLA)
- Service Adaptive Composition, Orchestration and Choreography
- Dynamic Adaptation of Services on the Cloud
- Dynamic Internet Content Delivery
- Run-Time Monitoring, Services Evolution and Maintenance
- Model-Driven SOA and Service Systems Deployment
- Sensor Web Enablement and Web-Connected Devices (Sensor Web, 
smartphone, RFID)
- Services Computing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Mobile Ad-hoc
   Networks (MANET)
- Service-Oriented Middleware Deployment for Sensor as a Service
- Software Engineering for Sensors in the Internet of Things
- Formal Methods in Services Computing
- SOA Reference Models and Frameworks to Adaptive Services
- Software Service Engineering (SSE) Practices, Case Studies and Experience
