This document presents the principles and the implantation of inter-avatar collaboration based on the seman- tic Web services. Avatars 1 have to expose their services as RESTful resources, to be combined in composite applications. Though, due to the proliferation of connected objects, multiple smart things often are available to provide a single service, showing the need for a task allocation mechanism for the Web of Things. We address here the task allocation problem, which consists in selecting a set of objects to realize a complex application in a setup where several objects provide the same functionality. We rely on a multi-agent approach to describe this problem as a Distributed Constraint Satisfaction problem. We propose a solution that respects the fundamental principles of the Web by respecting the REST architectural style and design principles. We implemented our solution with a typical smart city scenario to show the applicability of our approach.
