The described solution is based on the LinkSmart semantic middleware, , an open source technology enabling a construction of distributed enterprise Internet of Things applications. LinkSmart was enhanced on features of seamless networking and interoperability of connected devices within the another FP7 EU project EBBITS, . Principles of the system architecture and servicebased networking are discussed and demonstrated on the Smart Office solution, employing the approach of user experience monitoring and continuous evaluation for adjusting the application to desired knowledge, social, and business parameters. Keywords: Internet of Things, Semantic Middleware, Peer-to-peer Networking, Smart Office, User Experience Evaluation. 1 INTRODUCTION The concept of Smart Office, as an application type belonging to the Internet of Things (IoT) domain, typically covers features supporting intelligent behavior of work environment, namely office rooms [1], [2].
