Third International Workshop on the Web of Things (WoT 2012)

Continuing the successful Web of Things workshop series, the goal of this workshop is to further explore the use of technologies and principles at the core of the Web to provide methods for a seamless integration of physical devices. In particular, our goal is to foster discussion on systems towards a real-time Web of Things and the discovery, search, and composition of services provided by Web-enabled things. This document contains all submissions to WoT 2012 that were accepted after a double-blind peer-reviewing process and cover current research in the fields of Web-based service discovery and semantic descriptions, case studies and toolkits for the Web of Things, and architectures that demonstrate the possibilities which arise when combining Web patterns and technologies with metadata and machine learning approaches to create smart environments.
