General Overview
Today, computers are changing from big,
grey, and noisy things on our desks to small, portable, and ever-networked
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.
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 service-oriented
systems 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 service-oriented systems
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.
A third dimension is added when
taking context information into account: Now, we are no longer dealing with
the information system any more, but the real world is intermingled with
the computing and will immediately affect and interact with the processing
of data and communication. Real-world context information can help to more
efficiently exploit the limited resources in mobile environments by
supporting better ways to provide data relevant to the user, to enable
improved interoperability with the environment and with other mobile users,
and to decide when and how to process data.
The intermingling of the real world with computing has lately been called
Internet of Things. It can be seen as a step towards Mark Weiser's
vision about "Ubiquitous Computing" where the computing and communicating
components and thus also the corresponding intelligence is everywhere - like
the air we breath - and serves us without a special effort from our side. Keeping
in mind that distinguisable (portable) devices will be used to access and provide
the services in the IoT world for years to come, we can also speak about
MObile Internet of Things (MIoT).
In this vein, the contextual and semantic
aspects of mobile environments have received insufficient attention from
the research community as the specific intricacies and resource issues of
mobile environments have not been considered and in mobile data management
only limited attention has been paid to context and semantics, especially in
the context of MIoT. In this
workshop we plan to address the interdisciplinary issues of the domain and
bring together researchers and industry attendees from mobile data
management, knowledge management/semantics, distributed systems,
service-oriented computing, and software engineering to discuss the common
interests, share and exchange expertise and results, appreciate each
other's results and contributions. The long-term goal is to provide
application developers with facilities (middleware, infrastructures, agent
systems, service platforms, etc.) that enable the development and
deployment of context-aware applications in mobile and pervasive environments
reaching out towards MIoT.
The RoSOC-M 2010 workshop is a follow-up edition of the RoSOC-M '09 and RoSOC-M '08 workshops - that
in turn was a joint event of the previous MoSO and MCISME workshop series: MoSO'07, MCISME'07, MoSO'06, MCISME'06.
Workshop Venue
tba, Kansas City, Missori,
USA. The workshop is
to be held in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Mobile Data Management
(MDM 2010).
