Workshop scope
--------------

In the last years, service-oriented computing and pervasive computing are
emerging as the next computing paradigms. Service-oriented computing allows to
easily develop, publish and use software functionalities. Pervasive computing
rests on mobile and/or embedded devices, available anywhere and anytime, that
can potentially provide services. Bringing these two trends together raises the
new challenge of integrating/unintegrating, in an application, non-predefined
services just discovered in the pervasive environment.

Three main sub-areas of this challenge are tackled in this workshop:
- Frameworks/Infrastructures for services integration: different developing
frameworks exist and can be used or modified to ease services integration;
different deployment infrastructures also exist and can be adapted to take
into account the pervasive nature of the environment.
- Services interactions: allowing non-predefined services to interact implies
to have "smart" and adaptive matching and communication mechanisms.
- Dynamic combining of services: because pervasive environments are highly
dynamic, the integration of services needs to be aware of context changes to
choose the more appropriate combining/deployment techniques.

Topics of interests (but not limited to)

- Monitoring and management of services integration
- Contracting and negotiating approaches of integration
- Ontologies of integration

Paper Submission and Proceedings
--------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts, which should be written in
English and with a very precise and concise presentation of no more than 6 pages
in ACM format. Authors are invited to send their manuscripts as an attachment
(PDF or PS format) by email to the workshop chair frederic.le-mouel@insa-lyon.fr
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register
and present the paper. Workshop proceedings will be included in the edition of
the ICPS conference published by ACM.
