RESTful Service Composition for Smart Applications

Through the leverage of edge and digitization technologies and tools, all kinds of tangible elements in our personal, social, and professional environments are digitized. That is, these are becoming computational, communicative, sensitive, perceptive, responsive, and active. Digitized elements are also called smart objects or sentient materials. Further on, all sorts of embedded systems in everyday places (such as homes, hotels, and hospitals) are getting networked through a variety of communication and data-transmission protocols. Hence, the combination of digitized entities and networked embedded systems make our environments intelligent, which are typically self-, surrounding-, and situation-aware. Another noteworthy trend is that all of these empowered artifacts are increasingly integrated with remotely-held (cloud) applications...
