CALL FOR PAPERS – DEADLINE EXTENSION
International Workshop on the Future
Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices
<http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org>
held in conjunction with FIS2009
<http://www.fis2009.org>
Berlin, Germany, September 1st, 2009
Extended Paper submission deadline: August
10th, 2009
Scope:
The Future Internet of Things aims at
providing pervasiveness of the Internet by integrating smart embedded devices
into every day’s life processes. This leads to a highly distributed
network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices.
With the increase of heterogeneity, it becomes very difficult to insure
interactions with devices in a unified manner. Enabling seamless convergence
and interoperability of heterogeneous devices will be one of the key factors to
the success of the Future Internet of Things.
Moreover the Future Internet requires
intelligent interaction with the environment leading to the emergence of
wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There is a need for those
networks to provide their information in an interpretable form and to reduce
the complexity of accessing sensor services for applications or other systems.
The challenge lies in developing and
selecting the right software frameworks, architectures, and protocols to
publish embedded services via the Internet. Web technologies have been used to
provide an interface to distributed services. This approach and the need for
adaptable interfaces asks for service oriented middleware approaches providing
common base functionality for service interaction and communication such as
interface description languages, and marshalling mechanisms. In addition,
middleware solutions for embedded systems need to monitor, and manage quality
of service aspects, such as response time, resource consumption, throughput,
availability, reliability and security.
While web services being a standard and
widely adopted technology for the standard Internet, embedded systems as the
worker nodes for the Internet of Things need to catch up in utilizing these
technologies. Embedded distributed systems can implement service oriented
architectures as a promising approach to solve the complexity of distributed
embedded applications and propagate web services as a cross-domain technology.
Wireless sensor/actor networks, where the sensors are connected to and
controlled by embedded systems may benefit from this approach, where services
encapsulate the functionality and provide unified access to the functionality
of the system through a middleware layer.
The goal of this workshop is to bring
together industrial or academic researchers and developers interested in
connecting limited embedded (web) services and/or sensor networks with the
Internet in order to build the Internet of Things. Through paper presentations
and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the exchange of knowledge and
ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects,
as well as identification and analysis of remaining open research issues.
Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* Architectural Issues in Future
Internet of Things
* Real world applications and scenarios
for embedded web services
* Interoperability of heterogeneous
systems
* Event-driven SOAs &
Device-centric SOA
* Service creation, deployment, life
cycle management
* Tool support for service creation,
validation and testing
* Enterprise application integration
* Protocols for efficient message
transmission to embedded devices
* Web services and Middleware for
embedded environments
* SOA-based integration of IT systems
in the healthcare enterprise
* Web services executing in mobile or
pervasive environments
* Distributed sensor networks for
remote monitoring and surveillance
* Web services for field bus systems
Submission Instructions
Papers have to be submitted electronically,
through the EasyChairSystem:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fits2009
Papers should be written in English and
should be no more than 6 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers
(font Times 11pt). Authors are requested to follow the LNCS Style. The first
page should contain the title of the paper, names and addresses of all authors
(including e-mail), an abstract (100-150 words) and a list of keywords.
Submissions should describe original research. Papers accepted for presentation
at FITS 2009 cannot be presented or have been presented at another meeting with
publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to
other conferences must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that
contain significant overlap with previously published work. Over lengthy or
late submissions will be rejected without review. Notification of receipt and
acceptance of papers will be sent to the first author.

Program Co-Chairs:
* Vania CONAN
Dr. Conan is head of Advanced Studies
laboratory in Thales Communications, Colombes, France. He received his
Engineering Degree and PhD in Computer Science from Ecole des Mines de Paris,
France, and a Masters Degree in Artificial Intelligence from Université Pierre
et Marie Curie, Paris. Since then, he has been managing research projects at
national and European levels (FP5, FP6 IST programmes, ITEA Eureka cluster and
French ANR). His current research topics cover wireless and ad hoc networks,
from a software and IP protocol perspective.
* Christian Wietfeld
Prof. Dr. Wietfeld is head of the
Communication Networks Institute of TU Dortmund, University. He has a
background in communications networks research and product development at RWTH
Aachen and Siemens AG. He held the position of a Director Product Line
Management at Siemens Communications and served two years in the Board of
Directors of the international industry consortium WAP Forum resp. OMA (Open
Mobile Alliance). His research work on the design and performance evaluation of
wireless communication architectures, protocols and services is published in
numerous conference papers, book chapters, contributions to standardisation
(ITUT/3GPP/ETSI/OMA/CEN) and patents. He completed management programmes at
U.S. business schools (Kellogg/ Chicago and Babson/Boston).
* Peter Marwedel
Prof. Dr Marwedel is the head of UniDo/ES.
His experience covers a wide range of topics in embedded systems. In 2003, he
published a very influential text book on embedded system design which is
setting standards worldwide. In the same year, he received the teaching award
of his University. He is also heading the local technology transfer centre ICD.
ICD is in charge of transforming research results into industrial products. ICD
has designed several simulators, compilers and debuggers for industrial
customers.
