This open access book was prepared as a Final Publication of the COST Action IC1304 "Autonomous Control for a Reliable Internet of Services (ACROSS)". The book contains 14 chapters and constitutes a show-case of the main outcome of the Action in line with its scientific goals. It will serve as a valuable reference for undergraduate and post-graduate students, educators, faculty members, researchers, engineers, and research strategists working in this field. The explosive growth of the Internet has fundamentally changed the global society. The emergence of concepts like SOA, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, NaaS, and Cloud Computing in general has catalyzed the migration from the information-oriented Internet into an Internet of Services (IoS). This has opened up virtually unbounded possibilities for the creation of new and innovative services that facilitate business processes and improve the quality of life. However, this also calls for new approaches to ensuring the quality and reliability of these services. The objective of this book is, by applying a systematic approach, to assess the state-of-the-art and consolidate the main research results achieved in this area.
The seventh edition of the International Conference on Wired/Wireless Int- net Communications (WWIC) was organized by the University of Twente in May 2009. Since the ?rst event in 2002, WWIC has been established as a highly selectiveconferencefocussingonthe rapidlydeveloping?eldof wirelessnetwo- ing, and providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the ?eld. The WWIC 2009 call for papers attracted 39 submissions from 20 countries, which were subject to thorough review by the Technical Program Committee members and additional experts. The selection process resulted in the acc- tance of 13 papers, organized into 4 technical sessions. The major themes of WWIC this year were energy e?ciency, security, reliability, and routing p- tocols in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks as well as handover and mobility managementin heterogeneousenvironments. We aregratefulto MatthiasGro- glauser (Nokia Research Center, Finland, and EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland), who accepted our invitation to give the WWIC 2009 keynote speech. Further, we would like to thank Hans Appel (Sun Microsystems, The Netherlands), and Remco Litjens (TNO ICT, The Netherlands) for giving invited presentations at this year's event. In addition to the main technical program, the third ERCIM workshop on eMobility took place on the ?rst day of WWIC 2009. We thank the authors for choosing WWIC 2009 as the conference to submit their results to.
