THEME OF THE WORKSHOP
The theme of the workshop is the intersection of three major
trends in
today’s
computing:
* mobile computing becomes more and more important.
Mobile portable
devices have outnumbered already traditional desktop
computers and
will mould the view of computers future generations
will have.
* service-oriented computing is viewed by many analysts
as the computing
paradigm of the near future. It allows for the dynamic
integration of
functionality provided by different parties.
* research on ontologies, in particular in connection
with work on the
semantic web and semantic web services allows for
machine
understandable
description of functionality and for automatic
interaction of devices
without
the need for human involvement.
The proposed workshop investigates how mobile computing can
benefit from
service-orientation and ontologies and vice versa. The
vision is to extend
the
typically rather limited capabilities of mobile devices by
using services
offered
by other devices, network providers or third parties. Adding
ontologies to
this
scenario allows this extension to be transparent to the
human user. Further,
some high-end mobile telecom terminals can be called already
multimedia
computers due their programmability,processor speed, and
gigabytes of
memory.
Already in the near future these devices could also utilize
ontologies
locally during
service provisioning.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Today, computers are changing from big, grey, and noisy
things on our desks
to
small, portable, and evernetworked devices most of us are
carrying around.
This
new form of mobility imposes a shift in how we view
computers and the way we
work
with them. In developing countries like India and China
‘Mobile Internet’
can
become the only Internet a large portion of population will
get access to.
Services offer the possibility to overcome the limitations
of individual
mobile
devices by making functionality offered by others available
to them on an
“as-needed”
basis. Thus, using the service-oriented computing paradigm
in mobile
environments
will considerably enlarge the variety of accessible
applications and will
enable
new business opportunities in the mobile space by delivering
integrated
functionalities
across wireless networks. Network hosted mobile services
will allow mobile
operators
and third party mobile services provider to extend their
businesses by
making their
network services available to a broader audience (e.g.
developers, service
providers,
etc.); device hosted service will allow great potential for
big innovations
for
applications and services that can be provided by individual
mobile device
owners.
These mobile services offer functionalities and behaviors
that can be
described,
advertised, discovered, and composed by others. Eventually,
they will be
able to
interoperate even though they have not been designed to work
together. This
type
of interoperability is based on the ability to understand
other services and
reason
about their functionalities and behaviors when necessary. In
this respect,
mobile
services can benefit from marrying the Semantic Web, which
provides the
infrastructure
for the extensive usage of distributed knowledge, to be
deployed for
modeling services
and add meaning, through ontologies, enabling lightweight
discovery and
composition
of mobile services. The ability to appropriately combine
mobility and
semantic grounded
data sharing has generated and is continuously triggering
challenging
questions in
several areas of computer science, engineering and
networking.
This workshop aims to tackle the research problems around
methods, concepts,
models,
languages and technologies that enable new opportunities in
the mobile space
through
adoption, usage, and integration of mobile services and
ontologies. Of
particular
interest are the methodologies and technologies that would
allow automatic
tasks to
be performed with respect to mobile services and the use of
ontologies in
this context.
This proposed workshop aims to bring together researchers
and industry
attendees
addressing many of these issues, and promote and foster a
greater
understanding of
mobile service and ontologies and their potential in
enabling new business
opportunities
in the mobile space.
TOPICS
The following indicates the general focus of the workshop.
However, related
contributions are welcome as well.
- Service-oriented architectures for mobile internet
services
- languages and methodologies for describing mobile
Service-oriented systems
- discovery and matchmaking of ontology based services in
the context of
mobile service-oriented architectures
- adaptive selection of services in mobile service-oriented
architectures
- ontology management in mobile environments
- contracting and negotiation with ontology-based mobile
services (service
level agreements)
- approaches to composition of ontology based services in
the context of
mobile
service-oriented systems
- invocation, adaptive execution, monitoring, and management
of mobile
services
- interaction protocols and conversation models for mobile
services-oriented
architectures
- ontology-based security and privacy issues in mobile
service-oriented
systems
- applications of mobile service-oriented architectures
- analysis and design approaches for mobile service-oriented
architectures
and services
- reasoning with mobile services
- ontology-based policies for mobile service-oriented
architectures
- tools for discovery, matchmaking, selection, mediation,
composition,
management,
and monitoring of services in a mobile world
- mobile service development
- ontologies in dependable service provisioning
WORKSHOP FORMAT AND ATTENDANCE
The program will occupy a full day, and will include
presentations of
papers selected from the full papers category (see
'submissions' below).
Please note that at least one author of each accepted
submission must
attend the workshop. The MDM 2007 conference formalities are
applied
for fees and respective organizational aspects. Submission
of a paper
is not required for attendance at the workshop. However, in
the event
that the workshop cannot accommodate all who would like to
participate,
those who have submitted a paper (in any category) will be
given
priority for registration.
SUBMISSIONS
Two categories of submissions are solicited:
(1) Full papers (up to 5 pages).
(2) Position papers (up to 2 pages).
All submissions should be formatted in the IEEE style.
