             1st International Workshop on Semantic Web Technologies for
                           Mobile and Pervasive Environments
                               Co-located with ESWC2016
                               29th May, Anissaras, Greece



Preface
Pervasive and mobile technologies are one of the leading computing paradigms of the future.
Transitioning from the world of personal computing, powerful, compact devices are
distributed across the user’s environment, enabling the contextualized enrichment of
business processes with the ability to sense, process and combine data and forming smart
environments of Ambient Intelligence (AmI). This interconnection of devices, machines and
“things” enables the dynamic generation, analysis and communication of multiple data types
so that the operational efficiency and effectiveness of existing business processes are
increased.

However, the integration of devices and services to deliver intelligent solutions, in the so-
called Internet of Things (IoT), may have been partially addressed with open platforms
(FIWARE, Kaa, Linked Sensor Middleware), but yet imposes further challenges, relevant not
only to the heterogeneity of communication protocols and interfaces, but also to the diverse
context-aware information exchange and processing capabilities.

The SEMPER workshop aims to address emerging challenges in the field, discussing the
benefits and limitations of applying Semantic Web technologies, with a special emphasis on
semantic interoperability, context-aware modelling, hybrid reasoning schemes and intelligent
decision making, real-time analytics, fusion of data sources and leveraging Big Data, sensor
integration and reference platforms.
