Future Internet Symposium 2008

The first Future Internet Symposium will take place 28-30 September 2008 in Vienna, Austria.
The programme will be international in scope, and focused on research, especially that which crosses the traditional boundaries of our field. It will host original research papers, workshops, invited talks from leading academic and industrial researchers, panel sessions and tutorials. STI International will contribute to the event as a co-organiser.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission deadline: 22nd June 2008
Notification of acceptance: 6th August 2008
Camera ready: 28th August 2008
Conference date: Sunday, 28th September – Tuesday, 30th September 2008
Conference venue: Museumsquartier, Baroque Suites, Vienna, Austria

Topics of interest

The symposium will be highly interdisciplinary, open to all scientific areas, with an emphasis on the technologies driving the development of Web 3.0: semantics and services. Research should address the key challenges facing the Internet:
Scalability in the face of peer-to-peer traffic, decentralisation, and increased openness
Trust when government, medical, financial, personal data are increasingly trusted to the cloud, and middleware will increasingly use dynamic service selection
Interoperability of semantic data and metadata, and of services which will be dynamically orchestrated
Pervasive usability for users of mobile devices, different languages, cultures and physical abilities
Mobility for users who expect a seamless experience across spaces, devices, and velocities

The Future Internet

With over a billion users, today‘s Internet is arguably the most successful human artefact ever created. The Internet‘s physical infrastructure, software and content now play an integral part of the lives of everyone on the planet, whether they interact with it directly or not.

Now nearing its fifth decade, the Internet has shown remarkable resilience and flexibility in the face of ever increasing numbers of users, data volume and changing usage patterns, but faces growing challenges in meetings the needs of our knowledge society.

Globally, many major initiatives are underway to address the need for more scientific research, physical infrastructure investment, better education, and improved utilisation of the Internet. The European Union is investing heavily in this area through its research programmes like Framework 7. But it is also developing a unified technical- political vision, at the highest level, to ensure the emerging future Internet meets the needs of its citizens and economy. EU commissioners, national government ministers, industry leaders and researchers met in Bled, Slovenia to begin developing a vision of a future internet that will meet Europe‘s needs a decade from now, and beyond.
