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.
So far, 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. 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.
The RoSOC-M '07 workshop is a joint event of the previous MoSO and MCISME workshop series: MoSO'07, MCISME'07, MoSO'06, MCISME'06.
Workshop Venue
Run Run Conference Center at Renmin University, Beijing, China. The workshop is to be held in conjunction
with the 9th International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM'08).
