Personalizable Service Discovery in Pervasive Systems
Today, telecom providers are facing changing challenges.
To stay ahead in the competition and provide market
leading offerings, carriers need to enable a global ecosystem of
third party independent application developers to deliver converged
services. This is the aim of leveraging a open standardsbased
service delivery platform. To identify and to cope with
those challenges is the main target of the EU funded project
IST DAIDALOS II. And a central point to satisfy the changing
user needs is the provision of a well working, user friendly and
personalized service discovery. This paper describes our work
in the project on a middleware in a framework for pervasive
service usage. We have designed an architecture for it, that
enables full transparency to the user, grants high compatibility
and extendability by a modular and pluggable conception and
allows for interoperability with most known service discovery
protocols. Our Multi-Protocol Service Discovery and the Four
Phases Service Filtering concept enabling personalization should
allow for the best possible results in service discovery
Internet of robotic things : converging sensing/actuating, hypoconnectivity, artificial intelligence and IoT Platforms
The Internet of Things (IoT) concept is evolving rapidly and influencing newdevelopments in various application domains, such as the Internet of MobileThings (IoMT), Autonomous Internet of Things (A-IoT), Autonomous Systemof Things (ASoT), Internet of Autonomous Things (IoAT), Internetof Things Clouds (IoT-C) and the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) etc.that are progressing/advancing by using IoT technology. The IoT influencerepresents new development and deployment challenges in different areassuch as seamless platform integration, context based cognitive network integration,new mobile sensor/actuator network paradigms, things identification(addressing, naming in IoT) and dynamic things discoverability and manyothers. The IoRT represents new convergence challenges and their need to be addressed, in one side the programmability and the communication ofmultiple heterogeneous mobile/autonomous/robotic things for cooperating,their coordination, configuration, exchange of information, security, safetyand protection. Developments in IoT heterogeneous parallel processing/communication and dynamic systems based on parallelism and concurrencyrequire new ideas for integrating the intelligent âdevicesâ, collaborativerobots (COBOTS), into IoT applications. Dynamic maintainability, selfhealing,self-repair of resources, changing resource state, (re-) configurationand context based IoT systems for service implementation and integrationwith IoT network service composition are of paramount importance whennew âcognitive devicesâ are becoming active participants in IoT applications.This chapter aims to be an overview of the IoRT concept, technologies,architectures and applications and to provide a comprehensive coverage offuture challenges, developments and applications
Revealing Business Relationships â Eavesdropping Cross-organizational Collaboration in the Internet of Services
The Internet of Services is envisioned as a global ServiceorientedArchitecture enabling collaboration across organizationalboundaries. However, by monitoring communicationendpoints, attackers can create detailed proles of serviceconsumers and providers even if typical security mechanismssuch as message encryption are used. In a businesscontext, this trac analysis threatens the relationshipanonymity of the participants and can reveal sensitive informationabout an organization\u27s underlying business processesor a service provider\u27s client base. In this paper, wediscuss the simulation-based evaluation of dierent attackscenarios regarding the identication of the service compositionsan organization uses.

Pairing a Circular Economy and the 5G-Enabled Internet of Things: Creating a Class of âLooping Smart Assetsâ
The increase in the worldâs population has led to a
massive rise in human consumption of the planetâs natural
resources, well beyond their replacement rate. Traditional
recycling concepts and methods are not enough to counter such
effects. In this context, a circular economy (CE), that is, a
restorative and regenerative by-design economy, can reform
todayâs âtakeâmakeâdisposeâ economic model. On the other hand,
the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to gradually transform our
everyday lives, allowing for the introduction of novel types of
services while enhancing legacy ones. Taking this as our
motivation, in this article we analyze the CE/IoT interplay,
indicating innovative ways in which this interaction can drastically
affect products and services, their underlying business models,
and the associated ecosystems. Moreover, we present an IoT
architecture that enables smart object integration into the IoT
ecosystem. The presented architecture integrates circularityenabling
features by maximizing the exploitation of assets toward
a new type of IoT ecosystem that is circular by design (CbD).
Finally, we provide a proof-of-concept implementation and an
application study of the proposed architecture and results
regarding the applicability of the proposed approach for the
telecommunications (telecom) sector
07061 Abstracts Collection -- Autonomous and Adaptive Web Services
From 4.2.2007 to 9.2.2007, the Dagstuhl Seminar 07061 ``Autonomous and Adaptive Web Services\u27\u27 was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl.
During the seminar, several participants presented their current
research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of
the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of
seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section
describes the seminar topics and goals in general.

Envisioning Tool Support for Designing Privacy-Aware Internet of Thing Applications
The design and development process for Internet of Things (IoT) applications
is more complicated than for desktop, mobile, or web applications. IoT
applications require both software and hardware to work together across
multiple different types of nodes (e.g., microcontrollers, system-on-chips,
mobile phones, miniaturised single-board computers, and cloud platforms) with
different capabilities under different conditions. IoT applications typically
collect and analyse personal data that can be used to derive sensitive
information about individuals. Without proper privacy protections in place, IoT
applications could lead to serious privacy violations. Thus far, privacy
concerns have not been explicitly considered in software engineering processes
when designing and developing IoT applications, partly due to a lack of tools,
technologies, and guidance. This paper presents a research vision that argues
the importance of developing a privacy-aware IoT application design tool to
address the challenges mentioned above. This tool should not only transform IoT
application designs into privacy-aware application designs but also validate
and verify them. First, we outline how this proposed tool should work in
practice and its core functionalities. Then, we identify research challenges
and potential directions towards developing the proposed tool. We anticipate
that this proposed tool will save many engineering hours which engineers would
otherwise need to spend on developing privacy expertise and applying it. We
also highlight the usefulness of this tool towards privacy education and
privacy compliance
