The objective of the workshop is to address network-level as well as application and service-layer topics of analysis, design, monitoring and experimentation. The top-down interplay between services and networking creates unique modelling, design and implementation challenges. The goal of the workshop is to focus the community's efforts in building up this important area by discussing perspective issues and required breakthroughs in research and development.





The workshop format will be a combination of original papers, review/white papers, quick hot topic presentations, and a panel discussion with participants from industry, the NSF, and academia. This will allow workshop participants to obtain a global perspective of the scope of this area and of the technical challenges associated with it, in a participative and interactive manner.





The workshop will be a mix of in person and electronic presentations, allowing some participants to join the workshop remotely, possibly via a virtual world platform.



Prospective participants are invited to contribute to the following topics of the workshop:

· Architecture for future service-centric networks

· Scalability of future service-centric networks

· Modelling and simulation issues and methodologies

· Overlay, peer-to-peer and content delivery services

· Design for location and social awareness

· Design and implementations for ubiquitous services

· Reliability and availability of future service-oriented Internet

· Management of services and service-oriented networks

· Service selection, composition, and delivery platforms

· Management of event driven architectures

· Distributed complex event processing systems

· Mapping to business functions and Enterprise Service Buses

· Cognitive networks and services

· Application-aware routing and forwarding

· Optimization and cross-layer design of service-oriented systems

· Measurements and Quality-of-Experience monitoring

· Economics, pricing and charging of emerging services

· Distributed/market-based and game-based control of service-centric networks

· Analytic and simulation components of service-oriented networks and systems

· Workload characterization and distribution fitting

· Scheduling in multi-tiered environments

· Network architecture design for supporting large scale social applications and services
