Best Paper Award
@ WoT 2014
Gérôme Bovet, Antonio Ridi and Jean Hennebert:
Virtual Things for Machine Learning Applications

The Genesis

2006: An Application Layer for the IoT?
• The IoT is getting
big
• Yet, no application
layer
• DPWS, Upnp, etc.

2007-2008: The Web as the Application Layer for the IoT
• Wait how about the
Web?
• It did help the
Internet to
become useful in
a simple manner
• “Putting Things to
REST”, Erik Wilde
• “Towards the Web of
Things”, Dave
Raggett @ IoT 2008
• Webofthings.com

Whitepaper, Vlad
Trifa & Dom Guinard

Web of Things
How applications connect
with things
How things connect to
the internet
Internet of Things
§ OSI Layer 7 +
§ REST, JSON
§ Social networks,
semantics
§ Mashups
§ OSI Layer 4 –
§ EPC,
IPv6lowpan,
WiFi, Zigbee,
BLE, etc.
“Application
architecture for physical
objects”
“Uniquely identifiable
objects and their virtual
representations in an
Internet-like structure”

Reaction of the WSN / Ubicomp Community
Yeah thanks but,
no thanks!

2009: The WSN / Ubicomp Community starts thinking about it again
• Working with
embedded devices
requires a PhD in
CS…
• Researchers start
thinking about the
Web seriously…
• “Our results show that Web service requests can be
completed well below one second and with a low
power consumption, even in a multi-hop setting.”,
Dunkels et al. http://bit.ly/1tjxskD
• “Towards the Web of Things: Web Mashups for
Embedded Devices.”, Dominique Guinard, Vlad Trifa
http://bit.ly/wot-paper
• More publications like the WoT architecture
followed:http://www.webofthings.org/publications/
