Reconsidering the Social Web of Things (Position Paper) 8/27
On the Evolution of the Web Towards a Social Web of Things A Layered Model for the SWoT Conclusions
Objective and Motivation
• Placing autonomous and proactive things on the Web.
• Where to start?• Extend and transform social networks into socio-technical
networks (STN) by introducing autonomous and proactivethings as full-fledged users and service providers.
• Such a STN would be suitable for:• providing a good experience to the WoT user (straightforward
model of interaction);• extending the perception of things by tapping into the rich
amount of information being published on social networks;• providing a framework for the development of complex WoT
applications.

On the Evolution of the Web Towards a Social Web of Things A Layered Model for the SWoT Conclusions
• We have offered an interpretation on the evolution of the Webfrom several perspectives: socialness, pervasiveness, andpro-activeness.
• We have defined and motivated our vision for the SWoT atthe convergence of these 3 dimensions.
• We have discussed a possible approach towards implementingthis vision, introducing a layer of normative organizations for:
• bringing more autonomy to things;• enabling control over the autonomy of things;• supporting coordinated behavior in SWoT apps.
