Design and implementation of a web interface for a collaborative WoT platform

Abstract

Web, referring to the World Wide Web (WWW), is a well acceptable platform that enables the global communication. Its original intention is to provide the “universe of network accessible information”. Situated on top of the Internet, Web allows users to present and exchange text, video and other multimedia information and to collaborate between each others. New trend isWeb of Things (WoT) where the openWeb standards are supported for information sharing and device interoperation. By penetrating smart things into existing Web, the conventional web services are enriched with physical world services. This WoT vision enables a new way of narrowing the barrier between virtual and physical worlds. The objective of our study is to set up a web platform respecting the ergonomic criteria of humanmachine interface to ensure good management of connected objects and ensure good communication and collaboration between users, whether by audio or video chat.
