Peter Waher Application 2013

Introduction
My name is Peter Waher, and I'm a cofounder of Clayster. Clayster provides a platform for Internet-of-Things-based services hosted on everything from plug computers to the cloud, and incorporates apart from Internet-of-Things functionality also Semantic Web technology. My interest in XMPP stems from the fact that we're using it for IoT/M2M communications and peer-to-peer(-like) communications in IP-TV applications.

XMPP Activity
I've spent the last year rallying support for the use of XMPP within IoT and writing XEPs that lay the foundation for interoperable IoT applications using XMPP.

List of XEPs that I've helped write:


 * XEP-0322: Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format
 * XEP-0323: Internet of Things - Sensor Data
 * XEP-0324: Internet of Things - Provisioning
 * XEP-0325: Internet of Things - Control
 * XEP-0326: Internet of Things - Concentrators
 * XEP-0331: Data Forms - Color Field Types
 * XEP-0332: HTTP over XMPP transport

There are also two awaiting approval:


 * XEP-xxxx: Data Forms - Dynamic Forms
 * XEP-xxxx: Event Logging over XMPP

Purpose for re-applying
The main purpose for reapplying for membership is to be able to propose XMPP extensions. Our main interest is to expand xmpp to be used mainly within the following two areas:


 * Sensor networks. This includes among others:
 * Sensor detection, integrated with existing XMPP standards
 * Sensor meta data, capabilities
 * Starting sensor readouts, and asynchronous metering data reporting.
 * Sensor configuratons (i.e. controlling devices for home automation)
 * Interoperability between sensor and meter manufacturers, by providing an accepted open framework for sensor communications.
 * Semantic Web (web 3.0). This includes:
 * Semantic Service discovery, integrated with existing XMPP standards.
 * Publishing SPARQL endpoints over XMPP
 * Extending SPARQL queries over social/sensor networks.
 * Transporting semantic information (RDF/XML, Turtle, SPARQL Results/XML, etc.) over XMPP
 * Decentralized Social Networking.
