The W3C’s Web of Things effort wants to bring web technologies to the Internet of Things to address the interoperability challenges in this area and to transfer the extensive work on Web standards towards this domain. In this paper, we report on four independently developed implementations whose a...

This paper addresses the Internet of Things. Main enabling factor of this promising paradigm is the integration of several technologies and communications solutions. Identification and tracking technologies, wired and wireless sensor and actuator networks, enhanced communication protocols (shared with the Next Generation Internet), and distributed intelligence for smart objects are just the mos...

Purpose – Improvement of reverse supply chains requires accurate and timely information about the patterns of consumption. In the consumer context, the ways to generate and access such use-visibility data are in their infancy. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how the Internet of Things (IoT) may be operationalised in the domestic setting to capture data on a consumer’s use of product...

In this paper, we design a friendly jammer selection scheme for the social Internet of Things (IoT). A typical IoT is composed cellular network with underlaying Device-to-Device (D2D) communications. our scheme, consider signal characteristics over physical layer and attribute information an application simultaneously. Using characteristics, one D2D gadgets selected as to improve secrecy perfor...

Although there has been a tremendous amount of discussion in the popular press about how the Internet is changing all facets of social life, research on the impact of the Internet is only beginning to emerge.
