Workshop on Service Discovery and Composition in Ubiquitous and 
Pervasive Environments

To be held in Conjunction with the

10th International Conference on Mobile Web Information Systems (MobiWIS 
2013)
August 26-28, 2013, Cyprus
http://mobiwis2013.cs.ucy.ac.cy/

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.
