WoT Plugfest

Originally, PlugFest is a term used to describe an event based on a certain standard where the designers of electronic equipment or software test the interoperability of their products or designs with those of other manufacturers. It could be literally plugging company A's cable into company B's socket, or a more elaborate test resembling a realistic scenario.

To provide real-world examples of WoT applications and use cases, W3C is organizing an WoT PlugFest, where developers and vendors can show their solutions and demonstrate the true value of WoT.

WoT PlugFest is designed to show how the various WOT building blocks from different WoT developers/vendors can work together and support new and innovative services. PlugFest will demonstrate this interoperability – different WoT components from different developers/vendors – and promote the viability of WoT to a wider community.

Attendees at W3C WoT plugfest can expect the following:

Technology presentations regarding W3C standards for WoT
Interoperability testing on the relevant W3C standards for WoT
Opportunities to field questions and obtain answers directly from W3C standard experts
Understand to the relevant W3C standards

Interoperability in the context of WoT Plugfest

According to ISO/IEC 2382-01, “Information Technology Vocabulary, Fundamental Terms”, interoperability is “The capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units”.

WoT Interoperability includes concerns such as:

The behaviors and capabilities of internal and external connectivity and resources.
