Short paper: WoO approach general overview. Business context, innovative features and proposed framework

In order to pave the way towards the emerging business perspective of the IoT-based applications, the “Web of Objects” project contributes to the development/establishment of the application layer on the top of the IoT-related technologies, enabling to include in complex business applications various devices that are connected to Internet by means of IoT technologies. More precisely, the WoO project provide solutions for ensuring the interoperability of heterogeneous devices in such application, for developing semantic-based service composition and reasoning functionalities, as well as for ensuring the devices privacy. For considering Smartphone as a device example, its sensors are capitalized by the WoO approach both for making Smartphone as an actor in IoT business applications and for extending the scope of Smartphone integrated applications.
