Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Adaptive Services for the Future Internet and 6th International Workshop on Web APIs and Service Mashups

Abstract

Future Internet and Service Mashups provide novel infrastructures linked to objects, services and things of the real world to meet the changing global needs of business and society. Thanks to them, integration of data and services worldwide distributed are more easily accessible, reachable and usable. The synergy existing among Adaptive Services for Future Internet and Web APIs and Service Mashups have provided us with the chance of celebrating these two workshops together and publishing these joined proceedings for those researches and developers interested on these supplementary fields. Future Internet has emerged as a new initiative to pave a novel infrastructure linked to objects and things of the real world to meet the changing global needs of business and society. Technologies such as those based on XML and RDF or OWL to describe data and semantic information, SOAP or REST to define protocols and BPEL or BPMN to orchestrate business processes are being increasingly used to specify Future Internet services in a standardized manner, which will allow software and data no longer to be stored and distributed on individual computers. Instead, multitenancy will enable their remote access as Software as a Service (SaaS), even by performing the integration into larger networks of communicating software (e.g., a mashup or a plug-in to a Cloud platform). Future Internet applications will have to support the interoperability between many diverse stakeholders by governing the convergence and life-cycle of Internet of Contents (IoC), Services (IoS), Things (IoT), and Networks (IoN). In this sense, there is a need for both researchers and practitioners to develop platforms made up of adaptive Future Internet applications. Hence, the emergence and consolidation of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), Cloud Computing and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) rise benefits, such as flexibility, scalability, security, interoperability, and adaptability, for building these applications.
