Internet provides a global open infrastructure for exchanging and sharing of various resources for the people all over the world. The rapid development and the wide application of Internet make it become a new mainstream platform for software to be used, developed, deployed and executed. With the vision of “Internet as computer”, many application styles such as pervasive computing, grid computing, service computing and cloud computing occur on this open and dynamic environment. In order to support various new application styles and accommodate the fundamental change of the underlying supporting platform, many specific software technologies such as service-oriented architecture are proposed for current practices. However, although these technologies are useful and popular, they are far from systematic and complete because no uniformed software methodology and technology system like the object-oriented one is provided.
Conceptually speaking, in order to adapt the software system to such a new environment, its structure
model should be autonomous, cooperative, situational, evolvable, emergent, trustworthy, etc. The software
entities dispersed on distributed nodes over the Internet, which evolved from objects in object-oriented
methodology to software components (component-based software development), now are further turned into
self-contained, autonomous and adaptive software services in service-oriented computing of state-of-arts.
These software entities are coordinated statically and dynamically in various kinds of interaction styles
(passively and actively) such as integration, cooperation, and orchestration to achieve flexible design
objectives. So a so-called “software-web” instead of information-web is weaved. This software-web as a
whole is able to perceive the changes of open, dynamic, and uncertain environment and respond them in the
way of transforming architectures. Furthermore, the flexible design objective of the software-web is
reflected by its exhibiting several compatible goal-directed behaviors according to its up-to-date
knowledge about the outside environment. A portmanteau term “Internetware” is used to denote the future
software-web in open and dynamic environment, which can be defined as follows: an Internetware system is a
software system consists of the self-contained, autonomous entities situated in the distributed nodes of
Internet and the coordinators connecting these entities statically and dynamically in various kinds of
interaction styles (passively and actively). As a whole, an Internetware system is able to perceive the
changes of open and dynamic environment such as Internet, respond to the changes in the way of
architectural transformation, and exhibit context-aware, adaptive and trustworthy behaviors in the open and
dynamic environment in order to meet its flexible design objectives. Internetware challenges many aspects
of software technologies, from operating platforms, programming models, to engineering approaches, etc.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the conference date has been shifted to May 2021. Therefore, the second call for paper is being launched to open another opportunity for researchers to submit their research work.
Please note, in the second CFP round, authors whose papers are submited will be reviewed and marked by Main Track II ranther than the Main Track.
With the Internetware paradigm, the software is architected like the Internet, developed with the Internet, operated on the Internet, and provided as services via the Internet. In the open, dynamic, and constantly changing environment of Internet, Internetware systems need to be autonomous, cooperative, situational, evolvable, emergent, and trustworthy. These requirements pose special challenges for software technologies to support the construction, deployment, and use of software applications based on Internet that not only of computers, but also of things and human users.
This symposium aims to provide an interactive forum where researchers and professionals from multiple disciplines and domains meet and exchange ideas to explore and address the challenges brought by Internetware.

This talk will provide a personal perspective on the state of art regarding the automated testing of software systems enabled by machine learning. Such systems typically contain components relying on machine learning, whose behavior is not specified or coded but driven by training data, but which interact with other components in the system and play a critical role. Typical examples include cyber-physical systems that rely on machine learning in their perception (e.g., analyzing camera images) and control (e.g., sending commands to actuators) layers. In my reflections, I will rely both on my analysis of the state of the art and personal experience in research projects carried out with industrial partners in the automotive domain.

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Smart contracts are computer programs running atop blockchain platforms to manage large sums of money, carry out transactions of assets, and govern the transfer of digital rights between multiple parties. Smart contracts bring hope to transparent and trustworthy exchange of value in a trustless environment. Yet, in reality, the trustworthiness of smart contracts are under constant threats, with people losing millions of dollars. In this talk, I will cover the two sides of the same coin, demonstrating how the security and fairness of smart contracts are both due to the mismanaged conflicting interests between contending parties. I will also present solutions we have developed in the past few years and suggest potential future research directions.

Different from conventional software artifacts, Deep Neural Network (DNN) models are intrinsically inductive and uncertain. Adopting DNN models in field settings requires a new paradigm of software quality assurance. This talk will discuss an operational, statistical, and efficient approach to the quality assurance for third-party DNN models in deployment. In particular, we will present the operational accuracy estimation and the operational confidence calibration, which can be viewed as a testing and a debugging activity, respectively, for DNN models being deployed.
