Summary • Humans are part of the IoT – It is necessary consider thing-to-thing, human-to-thing, human-tohuman interactions – Move away from classical person-as-observer paradigm
• We present an homogenous interaction method for the IoT – Best suited for scenarios where users should be in control – Technology enablers: Mobile agents and NFC
• We implement a real world prototype to verify the feasibility of the system
