In the "Internet of Things" vision, the physical world becomes integrable with computer networks. Embedded computers or visual markers on everyday objects allow things and information about them to be accessible in the digital world. However, this integration is based on competing standards and requires custom solutions, thus requires extensive time and technical expertise. Based on the success of Web 2.0 mashup applications, the Web of Things proposes a similar approach for integrating real-world devices to the Web, allowing for them to be easily combined with other virtual and physical resources. In this presentation we discuss possible integration methods, in particular how the REST principles can be applied to embedded devices. We will then illustrate these principles with several concrete implementations and prototypes.

Hugo Straumann / Swisscom SA / With NFC to a new Customer Experience

NFC (Near Field Communication) with the possibility to many different actions through a tap with your mobile has the potential to revolutionize customer interactions. You can rethink how you interact with your customers, how you bring the virtual world one touch away from the physical one. It makes life much easier.
