Social Web of Things: A Survey

Recently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are spread all over the world, and are commonly used to collect physical information from the surrounding world. WSNs play a central role in the Internet of Things (IoT) vision. IoT is a new paradigm that aims to integrate and connect anything at anytime, anyplace, with anything and by anyone. However, addressing objects is the main challenge for IoT. IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) has been introduced to cope with this issue. The emerging paradigm Social web of thing (SWoT) enables users to manage, access, share, and integrate smart objects with Social Network Site (SNS). This paper investigates different SWoT platforms and architectures, provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art on WSN communication standards.
