Thematic Series on Verification and Composition for the Internet of Services 
and Things - 
<http://jisajournal.springeropen.com/about/VerificationAndComposition>


The Internet of Services and Things promotes a distributed computing 
environment that will be inhabited by a virtually infinite number of software 
services and things. Within this context, software systems will increasingly be 
built by reusing and composing together software services and things 
distributed over the Internet.

The Internet of Services and Things is thus radically changing the way software 
will be produced, verified and used, and calls for new software composition 
paradigms and patterns, flexible infrastructures and integration architectures, 
as well as novel modeling and verification methods. Despite the great interest 
in software composition and verification methods, when developing service- and 
thing-based software systems, strong challenges remain in place.

This JISA Thematic Series aims at new verification and composition techniques 
able to meet the requirements of modern applications, counteracting the 
specialization of traditional approaches in order to deal with heterogeneity, 
dynamicity, adaptation, large scale, mobility, security, etc. We seek 
contributions at various levels: from foundational aspects to concrete 
application experiments; from modeling to verification and analysis; from 
componentization to composition; and from deployment to execution.

==== Submission instructions 
Prior to submission, authors should carefully read over the Submission 
Guidelines - <http://jisajournal.springeropen.com/submission-guidelines>. 
Manuscripts are typically 14 two-column pages in length, and should not exceed 
16 pages. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their 
complete manuscript through the SpringerOpen submission system 
(<https://www.editorialmanager.com/jisa/>) according to the submission 
schedule. They should choose the correct Thematic Series in the "sections" box 
upon submitting. In addition, they should specify the manuscript as a 
submission to the "Thematic Series on Service Composition for the Future 
Internet" in the cover letter. If you
have any difficulty in paying the author processing charges (APC), please 
request a waiver from the editors.
