In the context of the architectures for Internet of Things (IoT) systems, the Web of Things (WoT) standard provided by W3C represents a promising solution that enables interoperability between heterogeneous IoT platforms and devices. The multiple components that interact and cooperate in IoT applications are devised in the W3C WoT architecture as entities called Things which are described through standard interfaces known as Thing Descriptions and hosted in software components called Servients.
When the IoT applications can exploit the presence of an existing Cloud-/Fog-Computing infrastructure, the Servients that compose the services are executed on the Fog nodes, thus exploiting their topological proximity to the IoT devices.
According to the W3C WoT standard, the allocation of Servients to nodes is static and mobility support is not provided. This thesis aims at enhancing the W3C WoT architecture with an additional mechanism that supports the migration of Servients among Fog nodes and the mobility of the interacting devices, which is a typical feature of IoT environments. The provided mobility support guarantees that, after the migration of a Servient, its Things remain reachable from interacting Things hosted on other Servients.
