A Real-Time Web of Things Framework with Customizable Openness Considering Legacy Devices

Area of Science:

• Computer Science
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Web of Things (WoT)

Background:

• The Internet of Things (IoT) has seen a surge in applications, but many operate in isolated
• silos
• leading to tightly coupled devices and applications.
• Existing Web of Things (WoT) infrastructures struggle with real-time guarantees, fine-grained data control, and integrating heterogeneous legacy devices, limiting their practical adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a novel Web of Things (WoT) resource framework.
• To provide infrastructure for customizable openness and sharing of user data and resources.
• To ensure real-time behavior for IoT applications within the framework.

Main Methods:

• Development of a WoT resource framework.
• Integration of physical world resources with the Web.
• Validation through actual systems and experimental evaluations.

Main Results:

• The proposed framework addresses limitations of existing WoT infrastructures.
• It enables customizable data and resource sharing.
• Real-time performance for applications is maintained.

Conclusions:

• The developed WoT resource framework offers a viable solution for breaking down IoT application silos.
• It facilitates the integration of heterogeneous devices and promotes data sharing.
• The framework's effectiveness is confirmed by practical system validation and experiments.
