about dom guinard...
- I'm the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) and co-founder of EVRYTHNG, a UK and Swiss Web of Things software startup aiming at making products smarter and more connected!I got my Ph.D. from ETH Zurich, where I worked on laying down the foundations of the Web of Things: a world-wide network of interconnected objects (sensors, appliances, machines and tagged objects) and co-founded the WebofThings.org.Before this, I worked on bringing industrial networks of RFID-tagged objects to the Web at the MIT Auto-ID Labs in USA. I also worked 4 years for SAP on the software aspects of the next generation platform for integrating real-world services with business systems. As a researcher at the Auto-ID Labs Zurich, I was working on mobile interactions with the Internet of Things (IoT) for Nokia. Before this, I worked on scalable IoT enterprise software architectures for Sun Microsystems (nowadays Oracle).2012 was full of surprises for me as I was listed 5th amongst the top 100 IoT thinkers by Postscapes and my Ph.D. research was granted the ETH Medal.

Presentation of the Web of Things for Oracle Labs in Menlo Park, California. - Dec 05, 10
In the EPCIS REST-Adapter project, we propose seamlessly integrating this network into the Web by designing a RESTful (REpresentational State Transfer) architecture for the EPCIS. Using this approach, each query, tagged object, location or RFID reader gets a unique URL that can be linked to, exchanged in emails, browsed for, bookmarked, etc. Additionally, this paradigm shift allows Web languages like HTML and JavaScript to directly use RFID data to fast-prototype light-weight applications such as mobile applications or Web mashups. We illustrate these benefits with a JavaScript mashup platform that integrates several services on the Web (e.g., Twitter, Wikipedia, etc.) with RFID data to allow managers along the supply chain and customers to get comprehensive data about their products. - Jul 27, 10
