Aims and Scope

In Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing (UPC), automatic service composition requires dealing with four major research issues: service matching and selection, coordination and management, scalability, fault tolerance, and adaptivenes to users contexts and network conditions. The service matching and selection is the first step in creating any composite service and requires a service discovery system. The discovery system should be scalable across large networks and adaptable to dynamic changes especially when services dynamically join and leave the network. Service coordination and management is the second issue to be addressed in automatic service composition. Composition platforms must have one or more brokers that coordinate and manage the different services involved in the composition. The problem of coordination and management becomes difficult when the brokers are distributed across the network and poses a scalability problem, especially when numerous users are concurrently making composite service requests. Since a composite service is dependent on many distributed elementary services, fault tolerance is another important issue to be included in service composition platforms in order to ensure its proper functioning. The platform should be able to detect and restore it. It should be noted also that in UPC environments, where services are coming up and going down frequently, the service composition platform should be able to adapt the composition by taking maximum advantage of the available services. This increases the composite service availability in dynamically changing networks.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers, students, and professionals from Software Engineering area, Agent-based Systems area and Mobile Computing area to reach a better understanding of the relationships between differents issues and promote their research efforts.

Paper Submission

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 10 pages in the LNCS/CCIS one-column page format. The authors must follow submission guidelines as given in MobiWIS-2013 Website. Authors are invited to send their manuscripts as an attachment (PDF or PS format) by email to the workshop chairs at gaber@utbm.fr, bakhouya@gmail.com, and maxime.wack@utbm.fr.

The workshop proceedings will be published by the CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) Springer series, which is indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, and Scopus, and also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings. For each accepted paper, at least one author must register for the conference and present the paper.
