Future Internet Symposium 2008
On behalf of the FIS 2008 organising committee I would like to thank everyone who attended our Symposium for making it an engaging and motivational event. I agree with the sentiment shared in Vienna that we are at the beginning of something very exciting and challenging and that FIS 2008 has played a role in forming a community to address this.
John Domingue FIS 2008 Chair
About the event
The first Future Internet Symposium was held from 28th - 30th of September 2008 in Vienna, Austria.
FIS 2008 provided a forum for leading researchers and practitioners to meet and discuss the wide-ranging scientific and technical issues related to the design of a new Internet.

Alexander Hauptmann
Alexander Hauptmann is a Senior Systems Scientist in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, and a faculty member in the Language Technologies Institute at CMU. His current main interest has been on multi-media analysis and retrieval. Other research interests include speech recognition and interfaces, translation and natural language in general. Most of his time is spent on the Informedia Digital Video project. This work has also spawned three spin-off companies related to digital video archiving and video question answering.
He is also pursuing projects on video observations for patient care for the elderly and personal wearable memory devices. His current passion is the pursuit of a large-scale concept ontology for multimedia to help narrow the semantic gap. Alexander Hauptmann holds a BA and MA degree in Psychology from Johns Hopkins University, a 'Diplom' in Computer Science from the Technische Universität Berlin and obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon.

Topics of interest
The symposium was highly interdisciplinary, open to all scientific areas, with an emphasis on the technologies driving the development of Web 3.0: semantics and services. Research addressed the key challenges facing the Internet:
Scalability in the face of peer-to-peer traffic, decentralisation, and increased openness
Trust when government, medical, financial and personal data are increasingly trusted to the cloud, and middleware will increasingly use dynamic service selection
Interoperability of semantic data and metadata, and of services which will be dynamically orchestrated
Pervasive usability for users of mobile devices, different languages, cultures and physical abilities
Mobility for users who expect a seamless experience across spaces, devices and velocities
The program was international in scope, and focused on research, especially that which crosses the traditional boundaries of our field. It hosted
• Original research papers
• Keynote talks
• Invited talks from leading academic and industrial researchers
• Workshops and Tutorials
