Aim and topics
Smart and reliable service interoperability and composition across
heterogeneous platforms and networking environments build the foundation
for added-value services. Such services have become a competitive factor
for many industrial branches and various application domains such as
automotive, avionics, home, tele-medicine, home and building automation or
factory automation.

This workshop encourages communication and exchange of ideas between
industrial experts, academic researchers and developers in the field of
middleware, service-oriented architectures, programming paradigms, design,
and engineering for heterogeneous networking environments. Important
knowledge about future emerging directions for protocols, methodologies,
middleware, network infrastructures, factory communication systems, and
self-organizing software/service architectures can be gained.

From this perspective, the workshop is focused on (but not restricted to)
the following subjects:

Architectures and Design Principals
-Design criteria of Service-oriented and Resource-oriented Architectures
-Platforms, Frameworks and Tools Support
-Support, Configuration & Management
-Creation, Deployment, Life Cycle Management
-System Security, Validation and Testing
-Semantic Web Services & Web Services Ontology
-Future Trends in Service-orientation and Emerging Issues

Device Centric Environments
-Device centric SOAs and RESTful Web Services
-Device Integration in Higher Valued Infrastructures
-Real-Time Embedded Networked Applications and Systems
-Web Services and Middleware for Embedded Environments
-Resource Constrained and Low Power Lossy Networks
-Scalability, Reliability, Safety and Security Aspects

Applications and Best Practices
-Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
-Deployments in Industrial Environments, Logistics and Products
-User Centric Home Automation, Assisted Living and Healthcare Applications
-Smart Grid, Smart Metering and Ambient Intelligence
-Urban Sensor Networks
-Lessons Learned and Case Studies
-New Emerging Opportunities
