Abstract

<P>Distributed applications and interoperable systems have become an integral part of everyday living and hence, part of the socio&#8211;economic ecosystem of our human environment&#046; With such pervasive distribution of software systems across a multitude of heterogeneous environments and user domains, distributed applications must support seamless provision of services as well as service evolution and adaptability to ensure long term sustainability&#046; This support must go beyond the provision of individual services in isolation towards systems in which such services can interoperate and be integrated into the everyday environment catering for the changing needs of their users&#046; </P> <P><B>Keywords:</B> </P> <P>innovative distributed applications in the areas of<BR>&#8211; enterprise computing<BR>&#8211; mobile, grid and peer&#8211;to&#8211;peer computing<BR>&#8211; context&#8211;aware, ubiquitous and pervasive computing<BR>&#8211; distributed applications cutting across the above areas<BR>models and concepts supporting dist&#046; applications in the areas of<BR>&#8211; sustainability<BR>&#8211; adaptability<BR>&#8211; evolution<BR>&#8211; ecosystems combining sustainability, adaptability, and evolution<BR>middleware supporting distributed applications in the areas of<BR>&#8211; pervasive and location&#8211;based services<BR>&#8211; autonomic applications and systems<BR>&#8211; context&#8211;aware, adaptive applications<BR>&#8211; reconfigurable and self&#8211;managing applications<BR>&#8211; quality of service&#8211;aware applications<BR>&#8211; intelligent mobile systems<BR>evolution of service&#8211;oriented applications<BR>&#8211; enterprise&#8211;wide integration<BR>&#8211; global integration<BR>&#8211; semantic interoperability and semantic web services<BR>&#8211; application management<BR>software engineering of distributed applications<BR>&#8211; domain&#8211;specific modelling languages<BR>&#8211; model evolution<BR>&#8211; model&#8211;driven software adaptation, testing and validation</P>
