This paper visualizes challenges and priorities of service driven approach towards Future Internet. The FI has become the main center of attention of several research and development initiatives all over the world, including initiatives in the European Unions, USA, Korea, China and Japan. However, despite the great curiosity in the Future Internet, no common definition of it has been adopted yet. Still, considering that the Future Internet will result from the evolution of today's Internet, the Future Internet can be defined as the union and cooperation of the Internet by and for People, Internet of Content, Internet of Services, and Internet of Things, supported by a growing network infrastructure foundation. Those core domains, elements of which we find already in today's Internet, are not fully established yet and will emerge with the foreseen evolution of services, content, objects and networks. In general, the Future Internet is setting significant challenges over the computing and networking environments, as it magnifies the features of the already challenging Internet of today and approach on identifying and assessing those challenges.
