Invitation to the Workshop "Semantics and Future Internet", co-located with FIS2009 in Berlin

[sorry for cross-posting | please forward this invitation to other
colleagues]

Dear colleagues,

within the scope of the 2nd Future Internet Symposium, which will take place
from 1st to 3rd of September 2009 in Berlin, Germany, we are organizing the
Semantics and Future Internet Workshop which will take place on the first
day of the conference.

The Future Internet is a new European initiative which aims to stimulate
research into key technical areas leading to a new global communications
infrastructure designed with a "clean slate" approach. Much of the ongoing
work is carried out within Future Internet Assemblies where the leaders of
over 90 European projects meet to discuss research issues associated with:

.         Networks

.         Internet of Services

.         Internet of Things

.         Multimedia Content

.         Trust, Security and Privacy

.         Socio-Economics

.         Large scale experimentation

We believe that the Future Internet initiative provides a very significant
opportunity for Semantics as these technologies provide a firm basis for
solving the challenges associated with scalability, heterogeneity and
mediation. This workshop will allow key members of the Semantics Community
to discuss these issues.

The workshop will have the following format. In the morning we will first
have presentations on key Future Internet topics and short presentations
from relevant projects. In the afternoon we will have a structured
discussion enabling all participants to raise key research and technical
challenges.

If you would like to participate in the Semantics and Future Internet
Workshop please email a 1 page position statement to the two email addresses
below.

The 1-page position statement should contain the following:

1.      A short (1 paragraph) biography

2.      How your current research work contributes to Semantics in the
Future Internet.

3.      Relevant projects that you are participating in.

Please send your 1 page position statements to the emails below by August
24th. We will confirm attendance by August 25th.
