Abstract

Background/Objectives: An efficient architecture of a miniaturized WEB services server which can be made to be resident on a micro controller based system so that embedded systems can be made to provide the support of WEB services that are related to sensing and measuring various environmental factors. Methods/Statistical analysis: The proposed architecture deals with two parts which include client side and second includes embedded server side part. In client side part a java based UDDI server is implemented on the PC. On server side two threads are created as individual functions which are responsible for receiving the client request and for transmitting the result. Findings: Developing and deploying WEB services requires huge amount of resources which are not supported by any embedded systems. An RTOS based task oriented services and thread oriented communication interfaces reduces the overhead and leads to implementation of light weight WEB services server. Application/ Improvement: In future the provision of many threads each meant for a client has to be made the architecture must support several pairs of threads for communicating with several clients.
