Developing Ubiquitous Applications through Service-Oriented Abstractions

摘要

Many infrastructural elements required to make pervasive computing a reality are now in place: some have been tested in the labs, while others are already commercially avail-able. However, the integration of these elements to create ubiquitous applications is still a daunting task, as the developers have to delve into the low-level details of each of them. With this in mind, we present UbiSOA, a service-oriented architecture and middleware that allows developers to integrate RFID tags, wireless sensor networks, and other elements, into ubiquitous applications through the well-known service-oriented paradigm, using the language of their choice.
