The "Web of Things" (WoT) is a vision of a World Wide Web that reaches 
into the physical world by providing a seamless integration of digitally 
augmented everyday objects. In this paper, we present the AutoWoT project, a 
toolkit that facilitates the rapid integration of smart devices into the Web. 
It thereby lowers the entry barrier for users to expose data and services 
provided by their smart things. AutoWoT offers a generic way of modeling Web 
resources and automatically builds web server components which expose the 
functionality of such digitally augmented devices. By abstracting the specific 
implementation of Web protocols, the toolkit enables prototype developers to 
focus on their use-case. In this paper we show how AutoWoT can be used to 
considerably facilitate the process of populating the Web of Things and 
illustrate the benefits with a concrete prototype application, a presence 
awareness tool that combines multiple Web-enabled real-world devices and 
services within a physical mashup.
