Efficient Management of Things for the Future World Wide Web

未来的万维网将连接数十亿个物理对象，这将提供令人兴奋的能力来改变世界，提高人类生活质量，就像过去20年Web所做的那样。在这个新时代，有效和高效地管理事物是一个不可避免的挑战，而且比管理传统的Web文档要复杂得多。该项目旨在关注这一关键问题，并开发新的技术来将资源受限的事物链接到Web，使用新的搜索引擎对其进行搜索，以及发现事物之间的潜在关系，以用于高级管理任务，如事物推荐和合成。

The future World Wide Web will connect billions of physical objects, which will offer exciting capabilities to change the world and improve the quality of human lives, just as what the Web has done in the past 20 years. Effectively and efficiently managing things is one inevitable challenge in this new era and is much more complicated than managing traditional Web documents. This project aims to focus on this key problem and develop novel techniques for linking resource-constrained things to the Web, searching them using a new search engine, as well as discovering latent relationships among things for advanced management tasks such as things recommendation and composition.
