16. Keynote 1: Stephan Haller
SAP Research Zürich, Switzerland
Future Internet: A Cloud full of
Things-related Services and Processes
The Internet of Things is a much talked-about concept with an
enormous potential for enterprises. Not only can business processes
be better aligned with what happens in the real world and enable
enterprises to respond more rapidly, more accurately and more
adaptively, but it also brings changes in the way businesses
collaborate and even the opportunity for novel business models.
These potentials will only be realized in combination with services
and Cloud approaches, forming thus the "Future Internet". The
presentation will show how these concepts fit together using current
examples, highlighting also some of the main challenges that need
to be overcome.

17. Keynote 2: Darius Šilingas
No Magic Europe, Lithuania
Model-Driven Service Choreographies
for the Future Internet
While service oriented architecture (SOA) is already a mainstream software
technology, the Future Internet raises a number of challenges such as service
heterogeneity, service governance, dynamic composition of services, service
scalability, and user-centric service development that need to be addressed in
research and implemented in industrial practice. The Future Internet should shift
focus from service orchestration to service choreographies that may provide a
better answer to the mentioned challenges. Model-driven development (MDD) is
a technology that aims to handle software development at a higher abstraction
level using models as the main development artifact. However, there is no
agreement on how service-oriented systems should be modeled – multiple
modeling languages such as BPMN 2.0, UML, SoaML, and SysML provide
fragmented support but fail to cover the challenging aspects of service
engineering in the Future Internet. In this keynote, we will present a visionary
approach to model-driven service choreographies in the Future Internet powered
by a combination of modeling standards, user-centric service engineering
process, and integrated development and runtime environment. This approach is
under research in ongoing FP7 project CHOReOS – Large Scale
Choreographies for the Future Internet.
