  models and concepts supporting dist. applications in the areas of
- sustainability
- adaptability
- evolution
- ecosystems combining sustainability, adaptability, and evolution
  middleware supporting distributed applications in the areas of
- pervasive and location-based services
- autonomic applications and systems
- context-aware, adaptive applications
- reconfigurable and self-managing applications
- quality of service-aware applications
- intelligent mobile systems
  evolution of service-oriented applications
- enterprise-wide integration
- global integration
- semantic interoperability and semantic web services
