Provision of the Social web of Things

Abstract

Web of Things (WoT), an advancement of the Internet of Things, enables networking devices to connect and communicate among people and various objects called “things” including networking devices as well as services in the distributed computing environments. Unlike in the many systems that exist for the Internet of Things, the Web of Things is about re-using the Web standards to connect the quickly expanding eco-system of embedded devices that were built into everyday smart objects. To do so, there need to be an autonomous networking infrastructure that supports communications among the Web of Things regardless of the user interactions. Especially for the services based on the location and Web requires to support the social relationship information of users in order to search, control and share user intended services and related objects. The paper introduce a concept of “Social web of Things” (SoT) for supporting device to device collaborative services based on the social relationship information of users for controlling and sharing the web based objects.
