Keynote I ─ A Real-Time Service-Oriented Framework to Support Sustainable Systems

Kwei-Jay Lin

University of California, Irvine, USA

Abstract
Sustainability has become an emerging area of study in the past few years. Two forces are behind this growing interest. The first is that many government agencies are enforcing new regulations requiring companies to be accountable for their operations in meeting sustainability. The other is the global awareness toward global warming and the societal demands for green business. It has been generally agreed that information and communication technology (ICT) can be used to improve the efficiency of industrial and business operations for both cost and energy concerns. We investigate a real-time SOA framework to enhance sustainability and predictability in industrial systems. The proposed real-time SOA middleware builds the support for accountability reasoning and global resource management for real-time service processes. Given a service plan and known resource constraints, the middleware monitors the performance and reserves resources in advance for each service in the process to ensure its real-time feasibility.

Keynote II ─ New Challenges of Internet of Things

Lionel M. Ni

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong

Abstract
On August 7, 2009, China's Premier Minister Wen visited Wuxi and proposed to build a center of Sensing China, after which the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) spreads quickly all over the country. But what is IoT to the end? Many people don’t really know. Why governments of many cities in Chin are advocating Smart City? How does Smart City relate to IoT? IoT is indeed a super sophisticated decentralized system. I will introduce what IoT is from my perspective; what on earth IoT can solve; what impact IoT can have on industry as well as ordinary life; and what core technologies IoT has to count on.

Cloud Computing Workshop Keynote ─ Cloud Computing Trends

Hong Cai

IBM China Software Development Lab, China

Abstract
After nearly three years of the announcement of Cloud Computing initiative, people begin to have deeper understanding of the implication of Cloud. Cloud is not only about massive computing capability, but rather how to expose those powerful computing capabilities as services so that people could access and use those Cloud services immediately with very low cost and low technical skills. Cloud is about virtualization plus standardization plus automation to make services simpler for use. With this in mind, I will introduce top ten trends of the Cloud business development and top ten trends of Cloud technology development.
