Aims and Scope The positioning techniques and navigation systems are understood as any solution that can place, locate or produce information and geographical coordinates of a person, vehicle, property or other items, particularly on the occasion of their mobility, displacement or movement. In recent years, there has been growing interest in location based services and navigation systems. However, the developing research in this area has some limitations in the composition, collaboration, cooperation and synchronization between different services. The interoperability and resource sharing between services of different domains are primordial tasks in discovering services and in sequencing of the interactions between them.   The workshop SCLP’09 will emphasize positioning techniques and system navigation for interaction and interoperability of services including web services, services operation and management, mathematical and formal methods for specification, modeling, verification and validation of scenarios and applications. This workshop aims to provide a forum in which to focus on location based services and positioning techniques, methods, concepts, models, languages and tools that enable the design and development of practical applications in the context of navigation systems. It aims to bring together researchers, students and professionals from Software Engineering area, Software architecture area and Mobile services Computing area to reach a better understanding of the relationships between them and promote their research efforts. List of topics The topics of interest for SCLP’2009 workshop include but are not limited to: Positioning techniques Global Navigation Satellite System Wireless Positioning techniques Geolocation techniques of Internet hosts Geocasting Geofencing Geographic routing protocols for mobile, Ad-hoc sensor networks Location systems for mobile-computing applications Data Fusion Location routing algorithms for V2V/V2I communication Self-configurable positioning techniques Sensor networks Ubiquitous and pervasive computing Location based services Context-aware computing Service-Oriented Architecture Service interoperability, interaction and synchronization Service operations and management Self-organization of services Service discovery and negotiation Web services Service security and privacy Formal methods for specification, verification and validation Service modeling, performance evaluation and optimization Transportation applications Paper Submission Authors are invited to submit their work in IEEE double-column (less than 6 pages) format as an attachment (PDF or PS format) by email to the workshop co-chairs at ahmed.nait-sidi-moh@utbm.fr.
