Abstract
In the Web of Things (WoT), special communication networks composed of sensor nodes, actuator nodes and service nodes form the basis for new types of web application systems, which are directly connected to the real world via sensors and actuators. We propose a conceptual framework for simulating WoT systems as multi-agent systems where both sensor nodes, actuator nodes and service nodes, as well as other systems in their environment interacting with them (such as other web applications, web services and human users), are modeled and simulated as agents. Our conceptual framework includes an ontology of WoT systems as sensor/actuator systems, and a meta-model for defining an agent-based WoT system simulation language.
