Abstract
An ever growing interest and wide adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and Web technologies are unleashing a true potential of designing a broad range of high-quality consumer applications. Smart cities, smart buildings, and e-health are among various application domains which are currently benefiting and will continue to benefit from IoT and Web technologies in a foreseeable future. Similarly, semantic technologies have proven their effectiveness in various domains and a few among multiple challenges which semantic Web technologies are addressing are to (i) mitigate heterogeneity by providing semantic inter-operability, (ii) facilitate easy integration of data application, (iii) deduce and extract new knowledge to build applications providing smart solutions, and (iv) facilitate inter-operability among various data processes including representation, management and storage of data. In this tutorial, our focus will be on the combination of Web technologies, Semantic Web, and IoT technologies and we will present to our audience that how a merger of these technologies is leading towards an evolution from IoT to Web of Things (WoT) to Semantic Web of Things. This tutorial will introduce the basics of Internet of Things, Web of Things and Semantic Web and will demonstrate tools and techniques designed to enable the rapid development of semantics-based Web of Things applications. One key aspect of this tutorial is to familiarize its audience with the open source tools designed by different semantic Web, IoT and WoT based projects and provide the audience a rich hands-on experience to use these tools and build smart applications with minimal efforts. Thus, reducing the learning curve to its maximum. We will showcase real-world use case scenarios which are designed using semantically-enabled WoT frameworks (e.g. CityPulse, FIESTA-IoT and M3).
Highlights
This tutorial should be of equal interest to a wider community including Web and Semantic Web technologists, academia, students and most importantly application developers who are thriving to build Internet of Things (IoT) and Web of Things (WoT) data based applications
The first successful edition of this tutorial has been conducted at International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2016
The WoT activities included a task force on Thing Description (TD) that looked into semantic-based representation of things
Summary
We have been witnessing a growing number of sensors embedded in smart devices or everyday objects. One of the challenging problem with the existing IoT applications is device and data inter-operability. Data produced by these devices adheres to proprietary formats and use of common vocabularies is minimal. Web and its extension “Semantic web” technologies can rescue IoT technologies to overcome the challenge of inter-operability. Through this tutorial, we aim to bridge this gap among Web technologies, IoT and WoT. We aim to provide the participants with a hands-on experience that will guide them to select a combination of right technologies for their requirements to develop their semantics-based IoT applications.
