Motivation

Today, people perceive the Internet as a system to request information from servers (Web 1.0) or to contribute information (Web 2.0). In the meantime, embedded computing has developed and grown enormously, where tiny autonomous devices, such as wireless sensor nodes, form distributed sensing systems. The next grand challenge is the amalgamation of the Internet and the world of embedded devices to form an Internet of Things (IoT) where all kinds of devices extend the Internet into the physical world.

The advent of an interoperable MAC layer (IEEE 802.15.4) and IPv6 connectivity for resource-constraint devices (6LoWPAN) are essential first steps. However, as the number of IoT devices is envisioned to surpass the number of nodes in the Internet by several orders of magnitude, IP connectivity is just a first milestone on the way of designing and developing IoT applications. Beyond basic networking there is a need for unifying concepts, methods, and software infrastructures that allow the efficient development of robust, interoperable, and scalable IoT applications spanning and integrating the Internet and the embedded world. Open issues include discovery, search, and management of services as well as service invocation on IoT devices in a highly scalable manner.

Another fundamental aspect is the unified description of the semantics of the services provided by the embedded devices. While existing Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) are designed for PC class devices, there is a lack of light-weight approaches suitable for the resource constraints of embedded devices. The goal of this workshop is to exchange ideas and first results between experts working in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks, Internet of Things (IoT), Algorithms, and Semantics.
