Abstract:
For the flexible integration of enterprise applications and business processes, the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) concept and the web service technology are the state of the art today. Especially for powerful hardware, a lot of web service and related technologies were developed during the last years. But with the development of Future Internet technologies, there is a demand for integrating all kinds of devices into a SOA. This includes especially devices with extremely limited resources, such as wireless sensor nodes, which are not capable of running today’s web service technologies. In this paper we disclose the need for research action on different layers of the web service technology stack. We discuss promising solutions for running standard compliant web services in sensor networks and integrating sensor network and enterprise IT web services as well as BPEL business processes seamlessly. We introduce the L2D2 project in which our concept will be realized and proven.
