Applicability of Web Service Technologies to Reach Real Time Capabilities

Currently the developing process for enterprise applications is improved by the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigms. With SOAs the creation of modular and clearly defined software architectures at a high grade of interoperability and reusability is possible. For resourceconstraint networked devices the Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS) specification adapt the SOA paradigms to create a framework for interoperable and standardized communication between embedded devices. This paper explains how special parts of DPWS can be adapted to provide real-time capabilities. So this paper shows how developers of real-time software can use the advantages of Web services and which adaptations are necessary to create Web services with real-time capabilities.
