The first Future Internet Symposium will take place 28-30 September 2008 in Vienna, Austria. The Symposium is a new event designed to bring together leading researchers to collaborate and contribute to the science behind the vision.

THE SYMPOSIUM 

Future Internet initiative is planned to be a multidisciplinary event seeking to integrate research and researchers from all facets of the internet enterprise. 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.
• Invited talks from leading academic and industrial researchers.
• Workshops.
• Panel sessions.
• Tutorials.

THE TOPICS

The event 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.
