A Novel Approach to Web of Things: M2M and Enhanced Javascript Technologies

M2M represents a future where billions to trillions of everyday objects and the surrounding environment are connected and managed through a range of devices, communication networks, and cloud-based servers. In particular, the Web of Things (WoT) approach exploits some common standard web technologies to address the problem of access and connectivity of such devices. In this paper the usage of the "browser paradigm" within M2M is explored proposing a solution to provide a secure, multi user and cross domain approach to the WoT: the new webinos platform is an effective way of addressing some of the most common issues of these kind of networks. Furthermore, we show how the standard and open source essence of the platform can encourage WoT actors to adopt webinos as a common middleware to increase interoperability across such heterogeneous ecosystem of devices.
