An increasing number of real-world entities is currently being connected to 
the Internet and the World Wide Web. We argue that this development is the 
precursor of a Web of Things (WoT), which in turn provides a promising way to 
prototype UbiComp applications, by significantly lowering the technical 
barriers for making things "smart". In this paper, we outline how sensors, 
actuators and Web services can easily be combined in the WoT in order to 
enable rapid prototyping of UbiComp applications.
