Abstract
The current state of the technologies related to the Web of Things (WoT) and the Internet of Things (IoT) fosters the creation of service directories gathering resource descriptions. These directories are aimed at enabling the service discovery and supporting providers and consumers with a shared element for their communication and interoperability between the involved agents. This interoperability can be ensured by using the abstract layer of the W3C WoT recommendations. However, many of the existing approaches do not include a service discovery mechanism and those that include a WoT directory lack certain functionalities required by distributed systems specific to the WoT such as a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This paper proposes a federated service discovery approach to support the management of WoT applications which ensures that the integration of the whole system components can be addressed by following a SOA. It is aimed at providing query and storage functionality for WoT resources, but also is intended to be connected to other WoT directories by applying a customizable approach based on recommender systems. Thus, we guarantee a flexible mechanism to obtain sets of ranked WoT resources to be utilized in different kinds of applications and domains.
