* SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL OF UNIVERSAL COMPUTER SCIENCE ON
ADAPTIVE*
* SERVICES FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET*
* Submission deadline: March 21st, 2014*
*SCOPE AND TOPICS*
The Future Internet has emerged as a new initiative to pave a
novel
infrastructure linked to objects (things) of the real world to meet the
changing
global needs of business and society. It offers internet users a
standardized,
secure, efficient and trustable environment, which allows open and
distributed
access to global networks, services and information.
To be consistently adopted, the Future Internet will be enabled
through
standards-based notations for messaging, semantics, process and state
(such as
those RDF, OWL, SOAP, REST and WS-BPEL), enabling distributed systems
and
entities to be described in a scalable and flexible robust
dynamic
environment. Multi-tenancy will enable their remote access as Software
as
a Service (SaaS), 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
change: for example, in the provisioning of services, availability of
things and
contents, connectivity of networks, diversity of user devices etc.
They
should also bear in mind that the Future Internet should provide a
better
experience for the user journey, with personalized and context-aware
contents,
adapted to their preferences, and where users also play an active
part in
creating or sharing services.
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) give 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.
Future
Internet systems however, will also need to sense and respond to a huge
amount
of signals sourced from different entities in real-time. In this
context, an
event would be detected if, for example, there is non-existence of a
signal
which normally occurs, affecting the execution of other services. These
events
would be produced by IoT and processed in the IoS. In order to build
business
level events Complex Event Processing (CEP) may be used. CEP allows
detecting
complex and meaningful events and inferring valuable knowledge for end
users.
The main advantage of using CEP to process complex events is that the
latter can
be identified and reported in real time, reducing the latency in
decision
making, unlike the methods used in traditional software for event
analysis.
Event-Driven Service-Oriented Architectures (ED-SOA or SOA 2.0) are also
being
used to respond to events that occur as a result of business processes.
The aim of this Special Issue is to address different
aspects of
adaptive Future Internet applications, emphasizing the importance of
governing
the convergence of contents, services, things and networks in order
to
achieve building platforms for efficiency, scalability, security and
flexible
adaptation. It will cover the foundations of the aforementioned
technologies as
well as new emerging proposals for their potential in Future
Internet
services. Then, this special issue encourages a
multidisciplinary
perspective and welcomes papers that address challenges of Future
Internet
applications. Topics of the special issue

*SUBMISSION FORMAT AND PROCEDURE*
This public call for papers is open to all potential authors
worldwide. We
solicit high-quality papers on the previous themes and topics to appear in
this
Special Issue. All submissions will be rigorously peer-reviewed by at
least 3
international and prestigious reviewers in the areas of
Service-Oriented
Architectures, Cloud Computing and Wireless Sensor Networks, in particular
drawn
from the Programme Committee of the third edition of
WAS4FI
http://was4fi.lcc.uma.es/committees.html. All submitted papers will be
carefully
evaluated on originality, significance, clarity and quality.
Additionally, this Special Issue will include extended submissions of
selected
papers of the third edition of the International Workshop on
Adaptive
Services for the Future Internet (WAS4FI 2013)
http://was4fi.lcc.uma.es/,
in conjunction with the European Conference on Service-Oriented
and
Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2013) http://esocc2013.lcc.uma.es/ submitted
as new
papers. The extended version of these papers must contain at least
30-50%
new material and the title must clearly and unmistakably differ from
the
title of the article presented at the
workshop.
All submissions must be in English, formatted according to the
guidelines
of Journal of Universal Computer Science (JUCS), and submitted as via
the
EasyChair
system
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=specialissuewas4fi20 in PDF
