CALL FOR PAPERS
Information Systems Frontiers (ISF)
Special Issue on Web of Things
As indicated by the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, "it
isn't the documents which are actually interesting; it is the things
they are about!". The last level of abstraction for the Web is to
connect real things. Indeed, with the recent advances in radio-frequency
identification (RFID) technology, wireless sensor networks, and Web
services, the Web has emerged as the platform to connect billions of
physical objects, i.e., "Web of Things" (WoT). WoT offers the capability
of integrating the information from both the physical world and the
virtual one, which creates tremendous business opportunities such as
efficient supply chains, smart cities, and improved environmental
monitoring.
While it is widely understood that WoT offers exciting capabilities to
change the world and improve our life quality just as what the Web has
done in the past 20 years, WoT also presents significant challenges.
With billions of things interconnected and present over the Web, one
inevitable challenge in the new era of WoT lies in how to efficiently
and effectively manage things, which is critical for a number of
important applications such as object discovery (e.g., finding a quiet
restaurant), recommendation (e.g., suggesting a device that can consume
a video stream), and mashup (e.g., composing device functionalities for
a new service). In addition, massive volumes of real-time data ("big
data") will be produced by these connected things and their associated
sensors. Novel solutions are therefore required to effectively collect,
process, analyze, and mine this big data. These solutions need to
consider challenging issues of WoT data such as dynamicity, uncertainty,
and high dimensionality.
This special issue aims at presenting the latest developments, trends,
and research solutions of Web of Things. Topics of interests include,
but are not limited to:
* Things discovery in WoT
* Semantic services for WoT
* High dimensional data processing in WoT
* Cloud computing and WoT
* RFID, sensors, and WoT
* Scalable WoT architectures
* Information modeling for WoT
* Context-aware services in WoT
* Business and social models of WoT
* WoT testbeds
* WoT security and privacy
* WoT standardization
* WoT applications, deployments and use cases
