A UDDI BASED DISTRIBUTED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

Fabrizio Ciancetta, Giovanni Bucci, Carmine Landi

Abstract

In this paper the authors are mostly concerned with the implementation of a measurement system specially suited for widely distributed applications. The system is based on smart web sensors, where the Internet links together the individual sensing elements. The system adopts the UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) registry, a de facto standard for managing the web services on the web. The proposed solution allows having, at all times, an overview of the sensors and of the available services. Thus, when a new sensor is inserted in the network, its services and its functionality are automatically added into the registry without reconfiguring the net. The sensor is presented in a taxonomy of distributed measurement systems for metrological monitoring applications with a standard interface via a tModel. Measurement results supplied by the sensors are made available through a web service, so that all users can build up their own applications. Some preliminary results of the proposed distributed platform are showed for the monitoring of environmental parameters.
