Abstract
The vision of Ambient Intelligence cannot be realized without integrating heterogeneous sensor and actuator networks in a framework of global scale that makes them available via unified service interfaces. Integration of these things into the Web has not been done on such a large scale and the effects on finding and interacting with physical resources are not known. This paper presents a scalable discovery mechanism, augmented with semantic web elements, based on RESTful principles that enables a plug and play experience for heterogeneous sensor and actuator networks in the "Web of Things".
