WoT 2017: The Eighth International Workshop on the Web of Things

Abstract

The Web of Things has become mainstream: REST (though sometimes interpreted liberally) and Web best practices today constitute the de-facto application layer of smart physical objects within Internet of Things deployments. WoT Mission Accomplished! However, the WoT workshop series was never only about technology, but rather enabled us to establish a community of academics and practitioners who are on the forefront of research fields from real-time communication with physical objects to discovery and search, and from the composition of services provided by smart devices to resource-constrained smart environments. In this year's eighth iteration of the International Workshop on the Web of Things, we therefore invited the WoT community to discuss about our Next Big Thing.
