This is the slides of the short talk that I gave @SemTech 2011, the 9th of June, at San Francisco.

1. Searching the ‘Web-of-Things’ Revealing ambient intelligence using the Semantic Web Benoit Christophe – benoit.christophe@alcatel-lucent.com Bell Labs Research – Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs France

3. The ‘Web of Things’ Proliferation of devices [1] Ericsson.com, white paper. More than 50 billions connected devices, 2011

5. The ‘Web of Things’ Our approach 1/2 A smart space Federating smart spaces Interconnecting smart spaces [2,3]

6. A real-world object (RWO) ‘ smart’ home A virtual object (VO) The ‘Web of Things’ Our approach 2/2 ‘ Virtualizing’ connected objects of each smart space [2,3] REST API

7. The ‘Web of Things’ For which usages? + = New web applications Novel interactions

8. The ‘Web of Things’ Prototype developed ‘ smart’ home ‘ smart’ office

9. Searching the ‘Web of Things’ In a near future… Billions of connected objects None of them sharing common data model Accessed by anybody @ anytime… (mobile subscription keep on rising [4])

10. Searching the ‘Web of Things’ Three axes to investigate Model establishment Handling object specificities… and human perception as well Allowing reasoning Web based! Data models cross understanding SAT-based algorithms or using machine learning Search strategy development Understanding (predicting) the context a search is performed Then triggering the most appropriate algorithms (accuracy vs. fastness)

23. Searching the ‘Web of Things’ Data models intertwining prototype

25. Searching the ‘Web of Things’ Predicting type of search
