Web of Things as a Framework for Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing

Abstract

In the last few years the web has evolved from just being a source of information to a platform for business applications. In parallel to this, wireless sensor network technologies have evolved to a stage where they are capable of connecting to the web. This amalgamation of technologies referred to as "Web of Things", has created new opportunities for intelligent application development. However, the "Web of Things" has brought interesting challenges like-efficiently utilizing online sensors, sensor composition for just in time application development and others that require urgent attention. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework and reference architecture for embedding the notions of Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing within the "Web of Things" and empowering their use in a broader context.

Semantics of Cyber-Physical Systems

“…They provide a natural way to specify components of open systems in terms of interfaces and observable behaviour. Events also can form the basis for specifying coordination and composition of components [8,10]. Due to the wide variety of events ranging from lower level physical signals to higher-level abstract events, CPS applications and users may be interested in certain conditions of interest in the physical world, according to which certain predefined operations are executed by the CPS.…”

Semantic Collaboration And Sensing As A Service In Semantic Web Of Things

“…In the Internet of Things (IOT) [1], an operating scene is described as: if a RFID (radio frequency identification devices) reader [2] scans RFID electronic tags which are embedded in some things, the information will be uploaded into the internet and global authorized users can browse and use it [3]. The conceived scene can be summarized as "three steps" (uploading the thing's information +transmitting the thing's information over great distance + downloading the thing's information) and "two kinds of agents" (the agents publishing the thing's information and using the thing's information).…”

Multi-facade and Ubiquitous Web Navigation and Access through Embedded Semantics

“…Consequently these devices can deliver their services to the each other and use available web applications and services while bringing them to the user environment (i.e. Web of Things [4]). (2) An information space which focuses on utilizing the Web as an ultimate information source [5], envisioning a web environment being one huge virtual, readable and writeable database rather than a document repository (i.e.…”
