Consider Submission to API Specifications Conference

[mmccool]

Let's consider submitting a talk proposal to the API Specifications Conference. Call open/close: June 8/June 29. Event is online, Sept 10 to 11. Speaker should commit to attending all the talks and doing a report-out.

A couple of paragraphs are needed... Ege to do an initial draft in the comments below and/or a PR, then we can discuss. (Also thanks to @egekorkan for bringing this up).

Proposal should be from the WG, speaker will be representing the WoT WG, not themselves.

We should also discuss the format. There are talks (20-25m), discussions (on a topic of general interest, e.g. IoT, security, semantics, etc), and tutorials. I could see us making multiple proposals for discussions... but we should probably do at least a talk.

API Specifications Conference CfS

Proposal: Talk
Speaker: Ege Korkan

Session description

As a member of the W3C Web of Things Working Group, I will be presenting the recently published Thing Description (TD) W3C Recommendation.
TD is a way to describe the network facing APIs of physical (or not) IoT devices (Things).
It proposes a protocol independent approach and can be used to also describe already existing devices such as Philips Hue and Ikea Trådfri, and can be used in different industries such as smart home, industrial automation, smart cities and more.

I will also show what you can do with TDs, such as Mashups and orchestration for IoT devices, device specific UI generation, automated testing and simulation.

Notes to organizer

The outline will be as follows:

• Introducing the need to built cross-ecosystem applications in the IoT
• Scope of the standardization efforts by the W3C Web of Things Working Group
• Thing Description Recommendation
• WoT Mashups/Orchestration via WoT Scripting API and Node-RED
• TD based automation: UI generation, automated testing, simulation

additional devices can be IKEA based Smart Home devices that are based on LWM2M.

it would be cool when you show some live demos like node-red or the TD playground

F.Y.I. I appreciate it if you also consider submitting CfP for the Node-RED online conference on October 10th. CfP is opened until August 31st.

I think that this would be a good idea as well! However, since most of the Node-RED node-gen (TD based) was done by @k-toumura , I think it would be more fair that he presents it. Any opinion?

[kazuhitoyokoi]

It sounds good! Welcome.

[egekorkan]

Submission is accepted!

My submission to Node-RED Con Tokyo is also accepted.
(The presentation will be given in Japanese)

Closing since the presentation has happened! :)
