Announcing SOCNE 2015

April 17th, 2015

The 9th International Workshop on Service-Oriented Cyber-Physical Systems in Converging Networked Environments (SOCNE) will be held in conjunction with the 20th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA’2015) on September 8th 2015 in Walferdange, Luxembourg. As in the past, the workshop is a great opportunity to learn about latest advances in SOAs and ROAs for embedded and cyber-physical systems and to get in touch with researchers and authorities in this field.

Aim and topics

Smart and reliable service interoperability and composition across heterogeneous platforms and networking environments build the foundation for added-value services. Their key requirement is seamless, well-defined and potentially cross-sectorial interoperability among stakeholders on application-, service- and device level. Interoperability has become a competitive factor for many industrial branches such as automotive, aerospace, energy, healthcare or factory and building automation. At the same time it serves as an application enabler for cross-domain business as envisioned e.g. for electro mobility, smart grid or even cooperative engineering.

This workshop encourages communication and exchange of ideas between industrial and academic researchers and developers in the field of preferably embedded middleware, service-oriented architectures and heterogeneous networked environments. It follows the whole path from system engineering over system implementation to system testing and leverages the discussion about industrial practices and future trends.

First WS4D Workshop

October 18th, 2012

In the last years the “TeKoMed”-Workshops have been a great opportunity to get in touch with developers, scientists and industry in the fields of the Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS), information technology in medical applications and related areas of interest. However, the TeKoMed project was successfully concluded and consequently no similar event will be organized by the former project partners.

To preserve the opportunity of exchange about recently finished, currently ongoing and future research and development around the field of embedded web services but also to foster discussion within the community, we want to continue the workshop series. The idea remains the same, however location and name will change.

Secure Smart-* Demo (@ CEBIT 2012 in Hannover)

February 23rd, 2012

We have assembled a brand new demo for our booth at the CEBIT 2012 in Hannover. The demo is based on our well-known Smart Window Demo, but now includes NFC technology to make the system more secure. The video below shows the different flavors we have integrated in the demonstrator. Feel free to join us at our CEBIT booth and watch the demo live!

WS4D @ IETF 83rd in Paris

February 20th, 2012

The 83rd IETF Meeting in Paris is approaching (March 25-30, 2012). Of course, WS4D will be there to contribute in the IoT activities of the IETF (6LoWPAN, CoAP and RPL). Feel free to contact us and meet us there!

We will be at all the three major IoT events in Paris:

 

[update] TeKoMed Workshop in Lübeck

October 25th, 2011

For the 3rd time, the TeKoMed-Workshop will be held in Lübeck. This year it will be a two days event from 7th to 8th of November 2012. Objective of the workshop is the usage of Service-oriented principles in the domain of medical devices, mainly focusing on device integration in medical institutions like for example hospitals.  Of course, everybody is invited to participate! Find more informations on the workshop website.

[update] For those interested in the slides of the presentations, you can download them on the workshop website of the TeKoMed Workshop. [/update]

WS4D @ IoTech Workshop

October 17th, 2011

On October 17th, the International Workshop on Internet of Things Technology and Architectures (IoTech) was held in Valencia/Spain, co-located with the IEEE MASS conference. The objectives of the workshop read like the who-is-who of several WS4D efforts: IPv6, 6LoWPAN, RPL, CoAP, EXI , IEEE 802.15.4, IoT, WSN etc. So also WS4D joined the IoTech and presented the SOAP-over-CoAP approach. But you might find other things among the presentations.

[Update] 6th IEEE SOCNE Workshop

April 29th, 2011

The 6th IEEE International Workshop on Service Oriented Architectures in Converging Networked Environments (SOCNE) has been be held in conjunction with 16th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA’2011) in Toulouse, France, 05.  September 2011.

The scope of the SOCNE workshop is on not only on SOAs in general, but also on (resource constrained) device centric environments, including H2M and M2M scenarios. And of course the REST folk is welcome as well :).

For more information visit the workshop website http://www.socne.org.

[Update]

The proceedings of the SOCNE workshop are now available on www.socne.org. From those presenters who kindly sent us theire files, we also published the accoring slides to the papers.

The next ETFA 2012 will be held in Krakow/Poland. This is probably one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and thus maybe also the venue for SOCNE 2012?!?!?!

The CeBIT 2011 is over. Welcome CeBIT 2012.

March 10th, 2011

University of Rostock

The CeBIT 2011 is over and we proudly showed what is possible with the WS4D frameworks. An Pulse/SpO2 sensor using 6LowPAN and a remote controlled window live from the Embedded 2011 were the highlights.
We showed the total lineup from small devices using the uDWPS up to the newest App for Android using the JMEDS Stack.
PipesBox was used to control the window via a twitter API. That was awesome. Feel free to use our open source stacks and get infected by the web service idea and get curious for the CeBIT 2012.

WS4D Smart-* Demonstrator

February 21st, 2011

As we already posted, the CEBIT in Hannover and the Embedded World on Nürnberg are getting closer. So we posted a preview on the CEBIT demonstrator a few days ago, showing WS4D-uDPWS in action (see the SpO2 finger clip sensor).

Now would like to give a preview on the Embedded World demonstrator here. The video shows our Smart-Window, opening and closing depending on the humidity. The involved technologies are 6LoWPAN, IPv6, CoAP, DPWS, Digitalstrom and several of our existing WS4D tools. Feel free to comment…
