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)
----------------------------------------

- Developing frameworks for services integration
- Deployment infrastructures for services integration
- Semantic services discovery and matching
- Adaptive communication protocols for pervasive services
- Context-aware integration
- Aspect-oriented approaches in pervasive environments
- Services composition and choreography in pervasive environments
- Integration strategies
- Monitoring and management of services integration
- Contracting and negotiating approaches of integration
- Ontologies of integration
- Secure pervasive integration
- Business integration approaches for pervasive services
- Enterprise service integration
- Autonomic 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 6pages
in IEEE double-column format. Authors are invited to send their manuscripts as
an attachment (PDF or PS format) by email to the workshop chair at
frederic.le-mouel at 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 IEEE edition of the ICPS conference, and also available on
IEEExplore.
