The Web of Things (WoT) envisions semantic interoperability by re-using well-accepted standards and technologies that have enabled the World Wide Web (WWW). Unlike stack-oriented solutions (e.g., ZigBee), WoT proposes to achieve system interoperability at the application layer by abstracting from the sensing and communication technologies: in a rough approximation, Things are represented using Web technologies and interactions with Things are mapped to uniform RESTful concepts.
This workshop invites original research articles and review articles that focus on the Web of Things and interoperability challenges in IoT scenarios. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Interoperability in the Internet of Things
- Semantic interoperability
- Web of Things
Technologies for the Web of Things
- Fog, edge, and cloud computing
- 5G integration
- Semantic technologies
- Discovery mechanisms
- Quality of Service (QoS) for industrial scenarios
Methodologies for the Web of Things o Security and Privacy
- Security and Privacy
- Thing Description (TD) authoring tools and validation
- Life cycle management
- Workflows and best practices
Standardization aspects of the Web of Things
- W3C WoT
- Interworking with other specifications and bodies
Real-word IoT/WoT systems and use cases
- Industrial scenarios
- Smart building scenarios
- Smart city scenarios
- Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT)
