Internet of Things (IoT) is presented as the next computing and interaction paradigm to be implemented in society, after current advances in Web, mobile and cloud-based technologies. However, there are still a large number of open challenges to be addressed for its successful deployment. Many proposals are focused on hardware and low-level technical issues, but the use of software design based techniques/methods can also provide significant advantages in terms of an easier development of IoT applications. This research work introduces a framework intended to facilitate the development of backend service platforms based on standards. It follows the ideas behind the Internet of Services (IoS) paradigm and cloud computing. And the main purpose of this contribution is to provide a Web Services deployment via their behaviour specification which is independent of actual and future technologies / standards.
