It focuses on the usage of the Devices Profile for Web Services as the underpinning of such "smart device " architectures and discusses an early implementation thereof. It further illustrates how "dumb " or "legacy " devices can be integrated using a gatewaying approach. 1. Overview Ch. 2 outlines the challenges faced by the manufacturing community and the opportunities resulting from increasing miniaturization and usage of standard communication protocols. Ch. 3 describes the rationale for the adoption of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and the benefits of extending this paradigm to the realm of communications between "smart " devices of all kinds.

Implementing EXI (Efficient XML Interchange), a standard binary XML format, is a promising solution to overcome this issue. In this paper, we present a complete EXI implementation in an industrial device and its measured performance, demonstrating that EXI promises are fulfilled.

This paper examines the issues surrounding the application and future development of DPWS on production line machines and their integration with distributed enterprise applications. Issues raised reflect the need for more development on defining a generic approach to Web Service architecture in automation and the ontologies that support it. The concept of an automation lifecycle is introduced to aid this development from a more holistic perspective.

Based on open standards and protocols and enjoying broad-based industry adoption, it is set to revolutionize the computing and communications landscape in the years to come. Current literature abounds with articles on SOA - especially SOA implemented using Web services. However, SOA is much more than a buzz word. Being an enterprise-wide architectural style that promotes vendor neutrality, interoperability, and loose-coupling between service providers and consumers, it is rapidly becoming the de-facto foundation for enterprise architectures. Ever-increasing miniaturization allows driving intelligence down to the device level, thus favoring the adoption of the SOA paradigm in the embedded-device space, down to sensors and actuators. This will enable radically new device networking architectures and pave the way for application of a uniform communication paradigm down from the shop floor up to the top floor, thus breaking down current technological barriers. In turn, these evolutions hold the promise of greatly increasing the agility of future industrial enterprises. This tutorial exposes the foundations of the SOA paradigm in general and of its use in the device space in particular, explains how SOA for devices can be implemented using the Devices Profile for Web Services, and outlines the benefits it brings in the industrial sector, as illustrated by the ground breaking experience of the SIRENA (http://www.sirena-itea.org) project. It further plots some future directions and discusses the potential benefits of using advanced concepts like semantic Web services for automating service selection, invocation and composition, so as to facilitate rapid reconfiguration.
