Building a Platform-Agnostic Wireless Network of Interconnected Smart Objects

In this work, we present a platform-agnostic framework for integrating heterogeneous Smart Objects in the Web of Things. Our framework, consists of 4 different hardware platforms, Arduino, SunSPOT, TelosB, iSense. These hardware platforms are the most representative ones, as used by the relevant research community. A first contribution of our work is a careful description of the necessary steps to make such a heterogeneous network interoperate and the implementation of a network stack, in the form of a software library, named mkSense, which enables their intercommunication. Moreover, we describe the design and implementation of software library which can be used for building "intelligent software" for the Web of Things.
