Aims and 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.

Previsious Edition

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 at 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.
