Experience in:
Internet/Web of Things
Scalable web architectures, distributed applications
EU FP7 funded project
Creating a socially aware and citizen-centric IoT
Internet of Things, today
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
Proliferation of HW platforms
New middleware platforms to connect things
Vertical applications
Mainly focused on protocols and M2M communication and simple interactions with humans
Internet of Things, what’s missing?
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
Briefly: including people in the IoT loop
User Experience
Privacy & Security
Going beyond controlling connected things
Humanizing the Internet of Things
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
IoT (M2M) + S-IoT + IoP = H-IoT
IoT S-IoTIoP
Is it possible to identify general patterns in an IoT involving humans and things?
M2M Internet of People social things & people
Alan Fiske: models of social relations
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
Communal Sharing Authority Ranking Equality Matching Market Pricing
people use 4 common forms of relationships
- groups of socially equivalent people
- same purpose
- material objects as things they have in common
- hierarchies among people
- Authorities control over subordinates
- no outranks between people
- balance and no authority
- collaboration over shared goals
- one for one correspondence
- proportionality in social relationships
- calculations of cost-benefits
- social value defined by ratios
military ranksfamily: food, use car, …
people on a car pool, colleagues
rents, interest rates, taxes
Fiske’s models & H-IoT: thesis
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
Today, People interacts with (and through) connected things and devices
A Social, Humanized Internet of Things exposes all the Fiske’s models involving people
Adds a new domain to Fiske’s classification: Things over the Internet/Web
People use Fiske’s patterns in social actions through connected things

Totally trusted sharing of smart things
People in the same group use shared things
e.g., smart TV sharing, only family members can use a smart object whereas others also by hosts
Communal Sharing
Things sharing
Things access
Groups of access
Sharing by location
Fiske’s models & H-IoT: mappings /AR
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
A person (with authority) shares things with people (down in the hierarchy), authority is not transferred.
Authority can change sharing and usage policies.
People authority over things
Things sharing doesn’t cause sharing authority over things
Things revoking, restrictions on use
Authority Ranking
Fiske’s models & H-IoT: mappings /EM
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
People share things for a common goal, equally contributing to it and equally getting a benefit (no hierarchy)
e.g., two persons sharing different air quality sensors, allows a third to mashup and build an application for environmental monitoring
Things shared with same authority sharing
Use things to achieve a common goal Equality Matching

WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
Typical IoT markets: HW selling, PaaS fees, app stores, …
e.g., a person pays a fee for a PaaS to connect its digital things. Relationships are ruled by a contract
Things are sold, rented or payed as a service
temporary sharing, contracts Market Pricing
Fiske’s models & H-IoT: reasoning
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
IoP and Social IoT are strictly related and adopting a H-IoT:
people interconnect, interact, socialize, create, communicate and make
through the Internet/Web of connected Things, implicitly using the Fiske’s four forms of sociality

Conclusions and Future Work
WEBIST2015 - LisbonAntonio Pintus - CRS4 [email protected]
- to overtake an IoT concept bound to M2M interactions, people and sociality patterns must be considered
- a new domain in the Fiske’s classification of social relationships patterns: a Humanized IoT (H-IoT)
- we will refine the explored concepts and a conceptual framework will be presented toward building Fiske-complete IoT systems
