| Abstract In this paper, we present a novel concept for exploring the Internet of Things (IoT). We develop the concept of a Theme as a way of conveying the purpose of an IoT network, through the interactions of smart objects. This approach draws on the affinity between social networks and IoT and we consider the idea of ‘friendship’ between objects. Finally, we present the initial findings from a study involving a collection of instrumented objects and the identification of sequences and patterns in their data towards establishing the overarching theme of that test-bed network. |
