The future Internet, designed as an IoT, is foreseen to be a worldwide network of interconnected objects uniquely addressable, based on standard communication protocols (Internet of Things in 2020: Roadmap for the Future, 2008). Identified by a unique address, any object might be able to dynamically join the network and collaborate and cooperate efficiently to achieve different tasks. In fact, the everyday objects will become proactive actors of the Internet, generating and consuming information. The elements of the IoT comprise not only those devices that are already deeply rooted in the technological world (such as cars or fridges) but also objects foreign to this environment (garments or perishable food) or even living beings (plantations, woods, or livestock). By embedding computational capabilities in all kinds of objects and living beings, it is actually possible to provide a qualitative and quantitative leap in several sectors: healthcare, logistics, domotics, entertainment, and critical monitoring, to name a few. Comprehensively, the European Commission envisions IoT as the approach where things are endowed with identities and virtual personalities operating in smart spaces using intelligent interfaces to connect and communicate within social, environmental, and user contexts. In particular, the use of standard technologies in the World Wide Web to instrument the IoT is frequently referred to as the Web of Things (Guinard et al., 2010b).
WoT-Enabled Retail Management
Published in Aarti Jain, Rubén González Crespo, Manju Khari, Smart Innovation of Web of Things, 2020
WoT integrates customer, process, employee, manufacturer, object and services at same platform by digitization [9]. In terms of retail, the Web of Things includes Wi-Fi tracking systems, Beacons, RFID tracking system, digital signage, supply chain management and many more [10,11]. While designing infrastructure, retailers must ensure key points of applications such as automated checkouts, smart shelves, personalized discounts, offers and digital process optimization in implementation.

The IoT, also known as the Web of Things, is a global environment where billions of objects (e.g., sensors, actuators, RFID tags, smart phones, computers, security cameras) are connected to the Internet and are exchanging information in an autonomous and interoperable manner. It is built upon an infrastructure of wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

‘Web of Things (IoT) is the system of physical items or ‘things’ inserted with electronic gadgets, programming advances, sensors, and system availability, which encourages these articles to gather and trade information for profiting different administrations.’ It is an idea exhibiting an associated set of anything, any one, whenever, wherever, any administration, and any system association [5]. Essentially we can state that IoT is an idea of fundamentally interfacing any gadget with an on and off change to the Internet (as well as to each other). This incorporates everything from advanced mobile phones, keen espresso and tea producers, clothes washers, earphones, lights, wearable gadgets and nearly whatever else you can consider (nano to full scale gadgets). The expert firm Gartner says that by 2020 there will be more than 26 billion associated gadgets and that a considerable measure of associations (might be more than 1.5 trillion). The IoT is an immense system of associated ‘things’ (which likewise incorporates average folks). The relationship will be between human individuals, human things, and things–things [5–8].
