Opensource / Public domain software for service-oriented embedded systems

We are member of the WS4D initiative which brings service-oriented technology to application domains of embedded systems (see http://www.ws4d.org/).

We participate - together with our Dortmund Partner - Materna Information & Communication - in the standardisation process of DPWS at OASIS as a member of the WS-DD initiative.

Together with Materna - Information & Communication, Dortmund, we developed the Microjava - based Web Services For Devices Server Implementation Java Multi Edition DPWS Stack (JMEDS) which can be downloaded from http://www.ws4d.org/), too.

NEW: Nov. 13th, 2007 - the software is available.

A further member of the initiative is the Universität Rostock, which applied gSOAP and developed a "C"-based DPWS stack. Moreover Axis was applied and a Standard Java Edition based DPWS-Stack was developed.

It has to be mentioned, that Microsoft Windows Vista already contains a compatible DPWS implementation.

Furthermore it has to be mentioned, that the well-known French Automation System company Schneider Electric developed a "C"-based DPWS implementation, too.
