- Abstract
- Background & MotivationUbiquitous computing which has been extensively studied for many years, is experiencing radical changes recently as the physical world devices, e.g., home appliances and industrial machines, are becoming smart thanks to the progress in computing technology development. In parallel, the communication techniques also make much progress recently. Internet access will very likely become commonly accessible by those "smart things", motivating the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) [1].The Internet of things (IoT) tries to find a way interconnecting things based on interoperable information and communication technologies. Through the exploitation of identification, data capture, processing and communication capabilities, the IoT makes full use of things to offer services to all kinds of applications, whilst maintaining the required privacy.Although the Web of Things(WoT) has a similar viewpoint to the IoT, the WoT is intended so that digital things can be accessed as resources of the web and services/applications can be provided based upon a web-based service environment as well as legacy telecommunications. The World Wide Web (WWW) is used as a platform to deliver services to an end-user, the web enables business entities and applications to intercommunicate openly with each other over a network. The web has program language independent properties, uses message driven communications and easily bounds to different transport protocols. As a result, web technology allows the exposure of physical devices as resources on the web using a WoT approach. Therefore, users can interact with the devices using web interfaces. The WoT can provide capabilities of device reusability, portability across several heterogeneous networks and accessibility based on web with web standards [2, 3].
