glue.things: a Mashup Platform for wiring the Internet of Things with the Internet of Services

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a trending topic. Market analysts predict a large growth of the entire IoT market with an explosion of new products. In this paper, we argue how the data of these devices can be connected in an efficient and extensible way. For this purpose, we present glue.things a mashup platform for wiring data of Web-enabled IoT devices and Web services. The work carried out in this paper addresses concepts and technologies that are referred as "web-friendly IoT technologies". We elaborate aspects of device integration, real-time communication and data stream mashups. These aspects are discussed on features and technologies of the prototype implementation glue.things.
