Towards a General Framework for Modeling, Simulating and Building Sensor/Actuator Systems and Robots for the Web of Things.

Abstract

Abstract. The Web of Things (WoT) refers to those parts of the web consisting of special web application systems connected to the real world via sensors or actuators. These WoT systems include robots connected to the web as a special case. We propose a general framework for model-ing, simulating, designing and building WoT systems. We propose a core ontology for WoT systems, which is the basis for our modeling and sim-ulation approach. The modeling and simulation part of our framework is independent of the WoT and could also be employed in the engineering of other forms of embedded systems and robots. As a test case and a proof of concept we present an example of a green house WoT system.
