Agenda • Background: From the Internet of computers to the Internet of things. • The Web of Things: Vision, relevant technologies, challenges in constrained environments, examples. • Introduction to Sun SPOTs: motivation, features. • Lab overview and exercises: • Sample “Flashlight” application on Sun SPOTs (Ex 1) • RESTful web application on Sun SPOTs (Ex 2) • Exposing the light sensor (Ex 3) and LEDs (Ex 4) as web resources • Access control (Ex 5) 2

Background • People have been connecting “things” to the Internet even before the “Web” More Info: - Trojan room coffee pot http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/coffee/qsf/coffee.html - Romkey & Hackett’s Internet Toaster, Interop ’90 http://www.savetz.com/yic/YIC11FI_6.html - Robin Southgate, 2001 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1264205.stm 3

Background • People have been connecting “things” to the Internet even before the “Web” • This trend is accelerating: phones, household appliances, sensor platforms, ambient devices, energy meters, health and ﬁtness devices, asset tracking 4

Background • People have been connecting “things” to 10 fool-proof predictions for the Internet in 2020 the Internet even before the “Web” 3. The Internet will be a network of things, not computers. • This trend is accelerating: phones, As more critical infrastructure gets hooked up household appliances, sensor platforms, to the Internet, the Internet is expected to ambient devices, energy meters, health become a network of devices rather than a and ﬁtness devices, asset tracking network of computers.Today, the Internet has around 575 million host computers, according to the CIA World Factbook 2009. But the NSF • Commercial entities are getting involved is expecting billions of sensors on buildings and bridges to be connected to the Internet for such uses as electricity and security • Lots of standards activities: IEEE, IETF, monitoring. By 2020, it's expected that the IPSO, OGC, WWW number of Internet-connected sensors will be orders of magnitude larger than the number of users. • Recognition in mainstream media 7

Motivation • Comfort and entertainment -- smart environments (buildings, homes) • Proactive health management -- both people and things (maintenance/repair) • Better efﬁciency -- resource management (lower cost of heating/cooling) • Timely access to information -- smart phones, environmental sensors • Improved security and peace of mind -- accurate, responsive tracking of valuable assets Connected, smarter living 8

Commercial Opportunities • “Things” or platforms for building “things”: (Arduino, BugLabs, Sun SPOT, TED, Chumby, Nabztag, Nike +iPod, Wattson, sensaware, Crossbow) • Applications (PowerMeter, RunKeeper) • Infrastructure components: gateways, relay services (therecorporation.com, iobridge.com, yaler.org) • Platforms: middle-ware or hosted service for data collection and analysis (Pachube, Sensor.Network) 9

Web Of Things • What? “A vision where everyday devices and objects are integrated into the Web using well-known standards and blueprints (URIs, HTTP, REST).” “Seamless integration of physical and conceptual resources” Also: “The physical web”, “the tactile web” • How? - Connect device to Internet, - Embed web server, - Model resources as URIs 11

REST (Representational State Transfer) • Architectural style of the World Wide Web • "The main idea of REST is to design applications which implement their functionality completely as a set of URI-addressable resources, with HTTP being the [uniform] access method for interacting with them. In such an application, there is no need for any special interface, the application fully blends into the Web ..." -- Erik Wilde, UC Berkeley Putting things to REST More Info: - Roy Fielding’s Ph.D. Thesis (http://www.ics.uci.edu/~ﬁelding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm) - REST Wiki (http://rest.blueoxen.net/) 12

REST in a Nutshell • Identify application “resources” using URIs. • Each resource implements some subset of a uniform interface: POST (Create), GET (Read), PUT (Update), DELETE (Destroy). Response codes describe method success/failure. • Representations (XHTML, XML, JSON), conceptually separate from resources, transferred in requests/responses. • Representation includes metadata and links to related resources. 13

REST Examples • Create a new resource, e.g. deploy an application POST /apps HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/binary Client Content-Length: 8914 Sun SPOT <application binary> HTTP/1.1 201 Created Location: /apps/SensorSampler • Delete a resource, e.g. undeploy an application Client DELETE /apps/SensorSampler HTTP/1.1 Sun SPOT HTTP/1.1 200 OK 14

REST Examples (cont’d) • Read a resource, e.g. read the light sensor reading GET /light HTTP/1.1 Client Accept: */* Sun SPOT HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/plain Content-Length: 3 138 • Update a resource, e.g. change color of LED 4 PUT /leds/4 HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: text/plain Client Content-Length: 7 Sun SPOT 0,255,0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 15

REST Beneﬁts • Simpliﬁes integration of resources into the Web, making them accessible as part of a global information system. • Ease building of apps on top of embedded devices, dynamic ad-hoc composite apps involving real-world devices (physical mashups) • “Uniform interface” enables interaction with all sorts of devices via readily available software (browsers, cURL) • “Layered system” supports intermediaries, great for addressing device/ network constraints • Get lots of features for free: caching, linking, security, bookmarking, searching, (HTTP utilized as an application protocol, not just transport). 16

Network Bandwidth Constraints • HTTP, XML are verbose. TCP connection setup/teardown adds overhead. • Use caching, compression via binary encoding, use UDP, e.g. Efﬁcient XML Interchange (http://www.w3.org/XML/EXI/), HTTP header compression (IETF CoRE, draft-tolle- core-ebhttp-00, draft-frank-6lowpan-chopan-00) Sun SPOT Uncompressed Compressed Client GET /spot-5317/temp HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* 13 bytes Host: localhost:8080 0000 - 68 36 47 2f 74 65 6d 70-00 0e 00 00 00 h6G/temp..... Content-Length: 0 User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 ... zlib/1.2.3 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 18 bytes Content-Type: text/plain 0000 - 48 36 40 11 b0 01 0a 00-3c 0e 00 05 00 38 39 2e H6@.....<....89. Cache-Control: max-age=60 0010 - 31 35 15 Content-Length: 5 89.15 17

Network Topology Constraints • Device could be behind ﬁrewall/NAT, might move • Use relay, with “long-poll” and Reverse HTTP (draft-lentczner-rhttp-00) Sun SPOT Client relay.net POST /spot-5317 HTTP/1.1 Upgrade: PTTH/1.0 Connection: Upgrade Host: relay.net HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols Upgrade: PTTH/1.0 Connection: Upgrade GET /spot-5317/light HTTP/1.1 Host: relay.net GET /spot-5317/light HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Connection: close Content-Length: 3 Content-Length: 3 216 216 18

Energy Constraints • Devices sleep periodically to conserve battery • Use sleep-proxy to queue requests, cache responses zz z Sleep zz zz proxy Sun SPOT Client (sleep notiﬁcation) GET /spots/01AB/temp HTTP/1.1 Cache-Control: max-age=60 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Age: 22 Content-Length: 5 86.45 PUT /spots/01AB/leds/5 HTTP/1.1 Content-Length: 7 0,255,0 HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted Retry-After: 45 Location: spots/01AB/requests/1cqfw 19

Discovery • Finding/understanding what a “thing” provides, relationship to other things • Bootstrapping: Well deﬁned location for metadata (/.well-known, RFC 5785) • Typed links: Use the “rel” attribute in links to describe relationships (draft-nottingham-http-link-header-10), e.g. Link: </>; rel=“http://example.net/foo’’ • Microformats (microformats.org) <div class="vcard"> <div class="fn">Joe Doe</div> <div class="org">The Example Company</div> <div class="tel">604-555-1234</div> <a class="url" href="http://example.com/"> http://example.com/</a> </div> See also: http://hueniverse.com/2009/11/the-discovery-protocol-stack-redux 20

Notiﬁcations • Webhooks: an HTTP callback in the form of a POST Client postbin.org Sun SPOT HEAD /spots/01AB/light HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Link: </spots/01AB/light/web-hooks>, rel=”subscriptions” POST /spots/01AB/light/web-hooks HTTP/1.1 Notiﬁcation-Type: UPDATED http://postbin.org/1c5r2aq HTTP/1.1 201 CREATED Location: /spots/01AB/light/web-hooks/1234 Link: </spots/01AB/light>, rel=”resource” POST /postbin.org/1c5r2aq HTTP/1.1 ... 21

Sun SPOT Device • Basic device has three layers • Battery • Processor Board with Radio • Sensor Board (application speciﬁc) • Processor Board alone acts as a base-station • User programs the device entirely in Java using standard Java tools 23

Exercise 2: RESTful Web Application on SPOTs (20 mins) 44

Exercise 2: Anatomy of a Web Application public class Status extends WebApplication { • Deﬁne its processRequest() ... public HttpResponse processRequest(HttpRequest request) throws IOException { • (Optionally) deﬁne isAuthroized() HttpResponse response = new HttpResponse(); String respStr = null; String name = Spot.getInstance().getPersistentProperties().getProperty ("spot.name"); if (request.getMethod().equalsIgnoreCase("GET")) { respStr = " ... + Spot.getInstance().getPowerController(). getBattery().getBatteryLevel() + ...; response.setStatus(HttpResponse.SC_OK); response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain"); // Controls caching at gateway response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=30"); response.setBody(respStr.getBytes()); return response; } else { response.setStatus(HttpResponse.SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED); response.setHeader("Allow", "GET"); return response; } } } 45

Exercise 2: Anatomy of a Web Application public class WoTServer extends MIDlet { • Deﬁne its processRequest() protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException { try { NanoAppServer nas = new NanoAppServer(); • (Optionally) deﬁne isAuthroized() nas.registerApp("/status", new Status("n=Access statusnsh=s")); nas.registerApp("/props", new PropertiesManager("n=Properties managernsh=pnd=http://bit.ly/aa8iOZ")); if (WoTConstants.SVC_CONNECTION_TYPE.equals("udp")) { • Register application with app server, new UDP6Handler(WoTConstants.TCP_UDP_SVCPORT, nas).start(); specifying } else { new TCP6Handler(WoTConstants.TCP_UDP_SVCPORT, nas).start(); } ... • URL to handle } catch (IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } • properties, e.g. name, protected void pauseApp() { } description, short URL protected void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) throws MIDletStateChangeException { } } 46

Exercise 2: Sample Interactions • Replace address:port with a.b.c.d:8888*, xxxx with last four hex-digits in your SPOT’s Id (see the back of “ﬁn”). • Explore available services on your SPOT by pointing your browser at http://address:port/spot-xxxx/.well-known/r URL Name /props, /p Properties /status, /s Status /blink, /b Blink LEDs } Try accessing http://address:port/spot-xxxx/.well-known/r?sh=p Last four hex-digits (Hint: ‘sh’ denotes ‘short URL’) 30D1 • Click on service name for documentation. Clicking on service URL causes a “GET” on that service, Use cURL for other HTTP operations -- PUT, POST, DELETE *If you are following the lab exercises outside of the JavaOne hands-on lab, you’ll need to run the gateway code in Exercise/Gateway-onDesktop and replace a.b.c.d:8888 with the address and port printed by the gateway application. 47

Exercise 2: Sample Interactions (/.well-known) • List available services: % curl --request GET --dump-header “hdrs.txt” “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/.well-known/r” <table> <tr><th>URL</th><th>Name</th></tr> <tr><td><a href="../props">/props</a>, <a href="../p">/p</a></td><td><a href="http://bit.ly/aa8iOZ">Properties</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="../status">/status</a>, <a href="../s">/s</a></td><td><a href="http://bit.ly/8YtWQE">Status</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="../blink">/blink</a>, <a href="../b">/b</a></td><td><a href="http://bit.ly/bPAzq1">Blink LEDs</a></td></tr> </table> % more “hdrs.txt” HTTP/1.1 200 OK content-type:text/html connection:close cache-control:max-age=60 content-length:424 What do you notice if you retry these two shell commands again soon after their previous invocation? 48

Exercise 2: Sample Interactions (/props) • Read system properties: % curl --request GET “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/props” { "spot.diagnostics": "true", "spot.powercontroller.ﬁrmware.version": "PCTRL-1.105", ... "spot.sdk.version": "yellow-100910", "spot.hardware.rev": "6", } • Create a new system property: % curl --request POST --data “spot.name: Louie” “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/props” { "spot.diagnostics": "true", "spot.powercontroller.ﬁrmware.version": "PCTRL-1.105", ... "spot.name": "Louie", ... "spot.sdk.version": "yellow-100910", "spot.hardware.rev": "6", } 49

Exercise 2: Sample Interactions (/status) • Read status (name, battery level, charging, uptime, endnode): % curl --request GET “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/status” { n:"Louie", b:36, c:"n", u:2169473, e:"y" } • Other operations: % curl --request POST “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/status” or % curl --request PUT “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/status” or % curl --request DELETE “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/status” Client Error: 405 Method Not Allowed 50

Exercise 2: Sample Interactions (/blink) • Read operation: % curl --request GET --dump-header “hdrs.txt” “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/blink” Client Error: 405 Method Not Allowed % more hdrs.txt HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed content-type:text/plain connection:close age:39 cache-control:max-age=260 allow:POST content-length:36 • Try POST: % curl --request POST --data “255,255,0” “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/blink” Successful: 200 OK causes SPOT to blink its LEDs yellow. 51

Exercise 3: Light Sensor as a Web Resource (10 mins) 53

Exercise 3: Light sensor as a Web resource • Create a simple web application (as described at http://bit.ly/aLqyNA) that responds to HTTP GETs on /light by returning the light sensor reading (Hint: See Exercise 1 for example code to retrieve light sensor reading.) • Modiﬁcations required (look for lines starting XXX) • HOLLightSensor.java: In processRequest(), modify respStr to return light sensor reading (Hint: See Exercise 1 for example code) • WoTServer.java: In startApp(), add another call to nas.registerApp registering the light service implemented by HOLLightSensor (Hint: See code for pre-existing services -- blink, status, props) • If successful, dashboard page will automatically retrieve and display light readings 54

Sample Interaction (/light) % curl --request GET “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/light” --dump-header “hdrs.txt” 49 % cat hdrs.txt HTTP/1.1 200 OK content-type:text/plain connection:close cache-control:max-age=20 content-length:2 % curl --request GET “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/light” --dump-header “hdrs.txt” 49 % cat hdrs.txt HTTP/1.1 200 OK content-type:text/plain connection:close age:5 cache-control:max-age=14 content-length:2 % curl --request DELETE “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/light” Client Error: 405 Method Not Allowed 55

Exercise 4: LEDs as a Web Resource (15 mins) 57

Exercise 4: LEDs as a Web resource • Create a simple web application (as described at http://bit.ly/9C3rlP) that • responds to HTTP GETs on /leds by returning the LED color setting • responds to HTTP PUTs on /leds by changing the LED color setting (Hint: See Exercise 1 for sample code to access the LED resource) • Modiﬁcations required (look for lines starting XXX) • HOLLEDController.java: In processRequest(), modify respStr to show LED setting in response to “GET” and ﬁll out handling of “PUT” requests. • WoTServer.java: Add another call to nas.registerApp registering the LED service implemented by HOLLEDController (Hint: See code for pre-existing services) • If successful, dashboard page will automatically retrieve and display LED setting (LED settings can also be changed by pressing Switch 2) 58

Sample Interaction (/leds) % curl --request GET “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/leds” [255,0,0] % curl --request PUT --data “[255,255,0]” “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/leds” Successful: 200 OK % curl --request GET “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/leds” [255,255,0] % curl --request POST --data “[255,255,0]” “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/leds” --dump-header “hdrs.txt Client Error: 405 Method Not Allowed % more hdrs.txt HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed content-type:text/plain connection:close allow:GET, PUT content-length:36 59

Exercise 5: Adding Authentication (10 mins) 61

Exercise 5: Adding Authentication • Add Basic HTTP Authentication so LED color changes require a password • Modiﬁcations required (look for lines starting XXX) • HOLLEDController.java: In isAuthorized(), look for and match authorization header against expected value for PUT requests. GET requests should be allowed without authorization checks. • WoTServer.java: Replace xxxx with last four hex-digits of your SPOT Id in the “realm” speciﬁcation. 62

Exercise 5: Adding Authentication /* * We only support HTTP Basic authentication which * sends a Base-64 encoding of "username:password" in the * "Authorization" header. * * General form: * Authorization: <authType> <authToken> * * Example: * Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ== * ... */ public boolean isAuthorized(HttpRequest req) { /* XXX Uncomment the following lines to authenticate PUTs. Replace "Ali Baba" with * the authorized username and "open sesame" with the authorized password. */ // String authorizedUser = "Ali Baba"; // String authorizedPassword = "open sesame"; // // if (req.getMethod().equalsIgnoreCase("PUT")) { // String auth = req.getHeader("Authorization"); // // return ((auth != null) && auth.equalsIgnoreCase("Basic " + // Base64.encode(authorizedUser + ":" + authorizedPassword))); // } return true; // GETs should still succeed } 63

Sample Interaction w/ Authentication Enabled % curl --request PUT --data “[0,255,255]” “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/leds” Client Error: 401 Unauthorized % more hdrs.txt HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized content-type:text/plain connection:close www-authenticate:Basic realm="spot-xxxx" content-length:30 % curl --request PUT --data “[0,255,255]” --user "Ali Baba:open sesame" --basic “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/leds” Successful: 200 OK % curl --request GET “http://address:port/spot-xxxx/leds” // GET needs no auth [0,255,255] 64

Conclusion • The Internet is rapidly becoming the “Internet of Things” • Reusing/adapting well known concepts and technologies makes it easy to incorporate everyday objects into the Web seamlessly • Constrained devices like Sun SPOTs may require the introduction of a gateway • Emerging technologies (e.g. HTML 5, Webhooks) and phenomenon (e.g. M2M, social networking) present interesting new opportunities Download the Sun SPOT SDK from http://www.sunspotworld.com/ and experiment with the bundled “WebOfThings” demo, e.g. try RHTTP 65
