THEME : The Pervasive Internet

The Internet has been revolutionizing and changing the way we communicate, access information and conduct businesses. Today, the Internet is evolving into a pervasive and highly distributed ecosystem of connected computers, mobile devices, sensors, home appliances, and a variety of other Internet gadgets. This evolution is leading to deep intertwining of the physical and digital worlds, raising new research agendas and challenging our understanding of the requirements for networked computing and Internet based Service Oriented Architectures. SAINT focuses on emerging research challenges raised by the pervasive Internet, and its future applications and services, as well as their enabling technologies. The symposium provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from the academic, industrial, public and governmental sectors to share their latest innovations on Internet technologies and applications.

Workshop :

SAINT will feature workshops to provide forums for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and exchange ideas on cutting-edge topics in Internet and applications. Papers selected by SAINT workshops will be published in a separate volume as an integral part of the SAINT proceedings. There is only one registration fee for both the main conference and workshop participants who can attend any conference sessions. The following workshops are anticipated:
