This short article provides a reflexion about the domains covered by the workshop SEPS at ICPS. The worskhop "Software Engineering for Pervasive Services" was first created in 2006 to become a meeting place for researchers interested in formal methods and pervasive computing. The term "pervasive" was understood in a wide sense, connected to ambient intelligence, ubiquitous systems, smart objects and multimodal human-system interaction. The terms "software engineering" were also understood as covering a large area, in a "curiosity-driven research" spirit as would probably say Osterweil [16]. Things have progressed in such a way that we now find it interesting to draw on SEPS a "once and future focus", as Taylor and Hoek [19] seem to argue that time has come to consider software engineering from the design point of view. As we are convinced that software engineering could benefit a lot from an increasing interest from designers, we would also appreciate to see in the next future ideas and works which would be based on a mathematical approach and could help to create a convergence between ad-hoc networks and formal approaches to software engineering. We believe that percolation theory could bring many interesting new horizons.
