This paper envisions how the Internet of Things (IoT) complements the Internet of People to build a humancentered Internet-and-Web of Things. The Internet of Things should go beyond the Machine-to-Machine paradigm and must include people in its foundation, resulting in a "Humanized Internet of Things (H-IoT)". Starting from a relevant work of Fiske, this paper defines how the Human-centred Internet of Things can embed the Fiske patterns in this particular domain. An analysis of some of existing IoT platforms and projects is also presented with the aim to analyse how real implementations are in the same direction of such social patterns. 3 HUMANIZING THE INTERNET AND THE WEB OF THINGS In earlier IoT research, its related definitions, scientific papers and scenarios remarked the 498 Pintus A., Carboni D., Serra A. and Manchinu A..

Abstract. The Web of Things is an emerging scenario in which objects are connected to Internet and can answer to HTTP queries. To date, new applications in this field are mainly produced by designers and engineers while we claim that with simple and effective composition rules and easy-to-use building blocks, even users could invent new applications unforeseen by technology experts. In this paper, we describe a solution for modeling, implementing and running simple connections of smart things based on the point-click-and-compose paradigm. We envision a Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) where things are Web Services using WSDL standard and logical connections between things are modeled as Web Services orchestrations using the WS-BPEL language.
In this paper the development and architecture of the SocIoTal platform is presented. SocIoTal is a European FP7 project which aims to create a socially-aware citizen-centric Internet of Things infrastructure. The aim of the project is to put trust, user-control and transparency at the heart of the system in order to gain the confidence of everyday users and developers. By providing adequate tools and mechanisms that simplify complexity and lower the barriers of entry, it will encourage citizen participation in the Internet of Things. This adds a novel and rich dimension to the emerging IoT ecosystem, providing a wealth of opportunities for the creation of new services and applications. These services and applications will be able to address the needs of society therefore improving the quality of life in cities and communities.In addition to technological innovation, the SocIoTal project sought to innovate the way in which users and developers interact and shape the direction of the project. The project worked on new formats in obtaining data, information and knowledge. The first step consisted of gaining input, feedback and information on IoT as a reality in business. This led to a validated iterative methodology which formed part of the SocIoTal toolkit and a best practices guide for local policy makers and cities.
The Web of Things is a scenario where potentially billions of connected smart objects communicate using the Web protocols, HTTP in primis. A Web of Things envisioning and design has raised several research issues, from protocols adoption and communication models to architectural styles and social aspects facing. In this demo we present the prototype of a scalable architecture for a large scale social Web of Things for smart objects and services, named Paraimpu. It is a Web-based platform which allows to add, use, share and inter-connect real HTTP-enabled smart objects and "virtual" things like services on the Web and social networks. Paraimpu defines and uses few strong abstractions, in order to allow mash-ups of heterogeneous things introducing powerful rules for data adaptation. Adding and inter-connecting objects is supported through user friendly models and features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
