Call For Papers

Future Internet Symposium 2012: Towards a Smart and Sustainable Future Internet ==========================================================================

May 21-23, Vilnius, Lithuania Held together with the 15th International Conference Business Information Systems, BIS 2012. http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/15th_bis/fiscfp.php

Symposium Description: —————————————————

While we cannot be sure about the concrete shape of the Future Internet (FI), we can expect with confidence that it will continue touching more and more aspects of our lives and our environment, and that it will provide novel features that are often denoted as smart.

The smart applications in the FI are expected to bring people, things and data together in innovative ways. Smart FI applications will come from diverse areas such as entertainment, health, utilities, transport, mobility and logistics. The FI will encompass the "Internet of Content", the "Social Internet", the "Internet of Services", the "Internet of Things" and other concepts that are being proposed. However, a simple analysis of the anticipated smart applications and FI concepts reveals a set of conflicting requirements. Hence, shaping the Future Internet to serve such diverse needs and capabilities is a challenging task.

The aim of the 2012 Future Internet Symposium is to discuss the requirements of novel FI application domains, the problems of the current Internet in addressing those requirements, proposed solutions to these problems, and the steps necessary to make the smart FI a reality. The interdisciplinary symposium brings together scientists and engineers from academia and industry and from various disciplines to exchange and discuss their ideas and approaches for making the smart Future Internet happen.
