Summary: | In this paper, we present the Pragmatic Web architecture
and how it can be used to improve automation for the Internet of
Things. Pragmatic Web system is the next advancement on the
Web, where the application provides context dependent data and
services, hence improves its usefulness for service consumers. We
argue that the Pragmatic Web is a good match for the Internet of
Things, especially for home automation which involves service
requests to the Web. Our contributions in this paper are software
architecture of the Pragmatic Web and how the interaction between
the Pragmatic Web and smart device can be implemented: (1)
three-phase of interaction mechanism, and (2) an improvement of
FIPA ACL message and message content for communication. Our
contributions will enable Web developers to develop Web
applications that provide context dependent data and services for
the Internet of Things or any other software agents. To this end, an
E-Commerce scenario is presented.
