The Internet of Things is a global network of computers, sensors and actuators connected through Internet protocols.
The Web of Things consists of RESTful Web services that measure or manipulate physical properties.
More on this in the following excerpt of the book
The Internet of Things is what you get when you connect zillions of embedded computers to the Internet, along with all kinds of sensors and actuators. It has become possible thanks to several recent technical advances:
- Low-cost microcontrollers that are powerful enough to support Internet and Web protocols
- Software platforms and tools that can be used for programming everything from embedded devices to servers in the cloud
- Cloud computing services that make it easy to store, process and present huge amounts of sensor data
- The REST architecture for systems consisting of many networked computers
