Abstract
This paper presents the Internet of Smart Things, which uses improved things managed by Multi-Agent Systems for providing a network of devices for open environments in Ambient Intelligence systems. The proposed architecture employs a middleware for the Internet of Things as a base for the connectivity and communicability of devices. The Smart Things are deployed using hardware technologies interconnected to provide autonomy and specialized agents for interfacing controllers and to communicate with other devices. Prototypes are built as a proof-of-concept for validating the approach.
