New devices need to be integrated into existing network +setups, but when considering sensor nodes with very limited input capabilities, +manual configuration can be a cumbersome process -- such devices must be readily +usable out of the box, and should interoperate with existing infrastructure. +Moreover, users need to communicate with their devices, they need to know which +devices exist and use the information they collect, while too much or +unstructured information leads to information overflow, effectively discouraging +the user from using the network. + +This paper gives an overview of the ``Chatty Things'' approach as presented by +Klauck and Kirsche~\cite{klauck-kirsche-chattythings}, which proposes solutions +for information filtering, auto-configuration of devices and service discovery, +while using standard chat clients for human-to-machine communication. +Section~\ref{sec:prereq} shortly introduces the used techniques, +Section~\ref{sec:arch} describes the proposed system architecture for Chatty +Things, and Section~\ref{sec:discussion} discusses possible future enhancements +and compares Chatty Things to similar approaches. + +% vim: set ft=tex et ts=2 sw=2 :
