Designing the Web of Things as a Society of Autonomous Real/Virtual Hybrid Entities
El-Mehdi Khalfi, Jean-Paul Jamont, Francisco Cervantes, Mahmoud Barhamgi · 2014
The Web of things paradigm aims to interconnect network-enabled objects using Web standards and protocols. Designing such systems raises several challenges related to the heterogeneity of things and the openness of the whole system. We propose an avatar-based approach to abstract physical objects into autonomous agents. We lead a discussion about these Web abstractions by highlighting some multi-agent systems requirements and their implementation on the Web.
