In this workshop we solicit research papers and experience reports on mashups of things and APIs (MoTAs). MoTAs are applications - often rapidly prototyped or end-user-created - that use things, i.e., IoT sensors and devices, and web APIs to offer new functionality. In contrast to traditional web mashups, MoTAs are not always created by end users and typically not in a fully declarative way (e.g., through drag & drop); however, they still retain a certain focus on ease of integration through declarative and/or policy-driven middleware components instead of hardcoding individual connections.

This workshop focuses on actual implementations of such mashups (ranging from prototype to production system) as well as on the tools and systems that enable these implementations. In that spirit, this workshop tries to address multiple questions: what are desirable characteristics of MoTAs, and how can these characteristics be achieved? How can MoTAs be developed effectively and efficiently by different types of users? What are lessons learned and experiences from building MoTAs, and what are pain points to be addressed?
