The Internet of Things Today
• Mainly Distributed Sensing Applications (DSA) • Tedious process that requires many resources (skills, time, $$$)
– Various functionalities, sensors, requirements – Incompatible protocols, standards, programming models, APIs, etc. – “Wheel reinvention” is common (hard-wired applications)
Web Gateway
low-power radioprotocols
(ZigBee, etc.)

Web of Things: HTTP to bind them all!

The Web of Things
• HTTP: many advantages for larger DSAs – Flexible, – Loosely coupled, – Scalable, – Lightweight, – Standard…
• Smooth integration with existing Web infrastructure – Blend real-world services and devices with the Web – Development of simple Web apps: cheaper & faster
@ConnectEvrythng © EVRYTHNG Limited | 2013
Web-enabled devices
• All as Web resources – URI-identified – Uniform Interface (verbs, codes) !
• Representations – HTML: humans – JSON/XML/CSV: machines
GET fire/alerts.xml
PUTtv/channel/4
GET fridge/food.html

These combined form an Active Digital Identity (ADI). Every object needs an ADI to talk Web.

Web of Things - requirements
To be part of the Web an object needs – A unique, permanent URL with a secure RESTful API – A container for storing historical data about it – A semantic format for machine-readable metadata – Services to manage millions of objects and their real-time data
• Supports “heavy” processing applications (analytics) • Connectors/entry points to 3rd party apps (ERP, etc.)

ADIs are meant to be integrated
