Achievements in academia and industry indicate a move towards the creation of a giant smart system including objects of different sizes, shapes, and purposes where the Internet will be so diverse and more resourceful with the incorporation of different smart devices. Mid Swe-den University took a first step towards providing an appropriate plat-form for Internet of Things applications known as SensibleThings for the emerging intercommunication of “objects”, called Internet of Things. The SensibleThings platform has produced components for sharing sensor-based context information on the Internet, in order to enable Internet of Things applications. In this thesis the plan was to contribute to filling the gap between the IoT and developers in academia as well as in the industries. The aim of the project was to create basic functionality to enable users to find new interesting users on the IoT and prioritize existing users. To this end context information and user profile man-agement is proposed and presented. Furthermore, a comparison be-tween the platform with the proposed extension as well as without was compared and examined.
