Call for Papers
The conference welcomes submissions of original, high quality papers in all the areas of research related to the emerging idea of the future internet. The symposium will pay special attention to works that cross the boundaries of the major topics related to the idea of the Internet of the Future, such as "Software and Services", "Networks and Mobility", and "Content & Media". FIS 2008 will also put the emphasis on works that address issues that are "cross-cutting" such topics, such as security, trust, interoperability, reliability, infrastructures and architectures, experimental facilities, networks, service level agreements (SLAs), and semantics.
All submissions will be subject to peer review by at least two members of the program committee. Selection criteria include overall contribution to the future internet, accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and quality of presentation. For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to attend the conference to present the paper.
Call for Posters and Demonstrations
To complement the main symposium program FIS 2008 will hold a combined Poster and Demonstration session. The Poster/Demo Session is an opportunity for presenting late-breaking results, ongoing research projects, and speculative or innovative work in progress. Posters and demos are also intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to network with each other and to engage in technical discussions about the work. Technical posters, reports on Future Internet software systems, descriptions of completed work, and work in progress are all welcome. Demonstrations are intended to showcase innovative Future Internet related implementations and technologies.
Call for Tutorial Proposals
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.
An additional and equally important role for the Future Internet Symposium is to be a home for the Future Internet community. In this respect the Symposium will serve the interest of the emerging community and foster new researchers (PhD students and fresh Post-docs) as they progress to become the new leaders in this emerging field.
Call for Workshop Proposals
The workshops at FIS008 will complement the main conference by providing a forum for active discussions and exchange of ideas focused on one or two cross-domain issues related to the Future Internet. The purpose of the workshops will be to provide an informal setting for attendees, potentially affiliated to different Internet disciplines to discuss scientific and technical issues, share experiences, and to lay the foundations for the establishment of the cross-domain research community which will shape the Future Internet research agenda. From a content perspective workshop proposals should comply with the agenda of the main conference and concentrate on topics which are likely to benefit from interactions and information exchange within a focused group of experts from different areas and have a wide range of workshops (full-day, or half-day) covering fundamental research questions for the realization of the next generation of the Internet, bringing together researchers from different disciplines.
