This paper has pointed out the need for new technologies for integrating embedded devices in heterogeneous distributed networks, and outlines the perspectives opened by applying service-oriented paradigm for realizing interaction with embedded devices. As a foundation for interaction with embedded devices, XML and Web services have been used. Strong integration power of XML and Web services make presented framework appropriate for unique approach to all resources of embedded device regardless of applied technology. Developed Web services based middleware, provides application designers with a high level of semantic abstraction, hiding the complexity of the applied technologies. This makes presented framework suitable for use in many domains, independent of embedded devices physical realization or network characteristics. Two ways to achieve such integration have been presented in this paper: device level for modern embedded devices, and using service oriented gateway for "legacy" embedded systems. .

Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) enable the automatic creation of business applications from independently developed and deployed Web services. As Web services are inherently a priori unknown, how to deliver reliable Web services compositions is a significant and challenging problem. Services involved in an SOA often do not operate under a single processing environment and need to communicate using different protocols over a network. Under such conditions, designing a fault management system that is both efficient and extensible is a challenging task. In this article, we propose SFSS, a self-healing framework for SOA fault management. SFSS is predicting, identifying, and solving faults in SOAs. In SFSS, we identified a set of high-level exception handling strategies based on the QoS performances of different component services and the preferences articled by the service consumers. Multiple recovery plans are generated and evaluated according to the performance of the selected component services, and then we execute the best recovery plan. We assess the overall user dependence (i.e., the service is independent of other services) using the generated plan and the available invocation information of the component services. Due to the experiment results, the given technique enhances the service selection quality by choosing the services that have the highest score and betters the overall system performance. The experiment results indicate the applicability of SFSS and show improved performance in comparison to similar approaches.

The Web

With the widespread use of the Web, distributed object technologies have been widely adopted to construct network-centric architectures, using XML, Web Services, CORBA, and DCOM. Organizations would like to take advantage of the Web in its various forms of Internet, Intranet and Extranets. This requires organizations to port and integrate their legacy assets to distributed Web-enabled environments, so that the functionality of existing legacy systems can be leveraged without having to rebuild these systems. In this chapter, we provide techniques to re-engineer standalone legacy systems into Web-enabled environments. Specifically, we aim for a framework that allows for the identification of reusable business logic entities in large legacy systems in the form of major legacy components, the migration of these procedural components to an object-oriented design, the specification of interfaces of these identified components, the automatic generation of CORBA wrappers to enable remote access, and finally, the seamless interoperation with Web services via HTTP based on the SOAP messaging mechanism.

Service Oriented

Organizations in all sectors of business and government are pursuing service-oriented architecture (SOA) initiatives in response to their need for increased business agility. This is particularly true for mobile telecommunications companies. That is why mobile telecom operators need to research new and innovative sources of revenue. Innovation is not an easy task. It requires embracing a new way of doing business, where new technologies are fundamental. SOA architecture and Web services technology are proposed by IT industry as the best solution to create a network of partnership and new services, but despite software producer claims, interoperability issues arise with service composition. Such a problem can be significantly reduced by adopting a semantic approach in service description and service discovery. Our research is focused on new methods and tools for building high personalized, virtual e-business services. A new service provisioning architecture based on Web services has been conceived, taking into account issues related to end-user mobility. The following pages deal with a proposal for creating real localized, personalized virtual environments using Web services and domain ontologies. In particular, to overcome interoperability issues that could arise from a lack of uniformity in service descriptions, we propose a way for controlling and enforcing annotation policies based on a Service Registration Authority. It allows services to be advertised according to guidelines and domain rules. Furthermore, this solution enables enhanced service/component discovery and validation, helping software engineers to build services by composing building blocks and provision/deliver a set of personalized services.

<p>Embedded systems that monitor and control safety and mission critical system are communicated with by a HOST located at a remote location through Internet. Such kind of embedded systems are developed to be dynamically evolvable with respect to syntax, semantics, online testing and communication subsystems. All these systems are to be dynamically evolvable and the components needed for evolution are also to be added into the embedded system. Architectural  models describe  various components using which dynamically evolvable sub-systems are realised through implementation by using specific and related technologies. Implementation system describe the platform, code units and the interlacing of various processes/tasks to the elementary level of details.

Πλήθος υπολογιστικών συστημάτων βρίσκονται ήδη γύρω μας, σε διάφορες μορφές – μία πραγματικότητα που επηρεάζει όλες τις πτυχές της σύγχρονης ζωής και μία τάση που αναμένεται να ενταθεί τα επόμενα χρόνια. Ερευνητές και μηχανικοί εργάζονται προκειμένου να παρουσιαστούν νέοι τύποι συσκευών και υπηρεσιών, με σκοπό να αντιμετωπιστούν αποτελεσματικότερα τα υφιστάμενα και αναδυόμενα προβλήματα της καθημερινότητας και να βελτιωθεί η ποιότητα της ζωής μας. Αυτή η διαδικασία θα οδηγήσει στην εποχή του Internet of Things (IoT), όπου όλα τα αντικείμενα που κατέχουμε και αλληλοεπιδρούμε θα αποτελούνται από υπολογιστικές συσκευές συνδεδεμένες στο διαδίκτυο.Ωστόσο, οι μεγάλες αυτές αλλαγές δεν πρόκειται να πραγματωθούν χωρίς την υπέρβαση κάποιων σημαντικών εμποδίων. Οι έξυπνες συσκευές έχουν, συχνά, άμεση επαφή με τον φυσικό κόσμο και, επιπλέον, επεξεργάζονται, αποθηκεύουν και μεταφέρουν δεδομένα ευαίσθητου προσωπικού χαρακτήρα, φέρνοντας έτσι στο προσκήνιο σημαντικά θέματα ασφάλειας και ιδιωτικότητας. Τόσο οι ερευνητές, όσο και οι επιχειρήσεις, αλλά και οι τελικοί χρήστες, αναγνωρίζουν ως ένα τέτοιο σημαντικό πρόβλημα την έλλειψη ασφαλούς, επεκτάσιμου και λεπτομερούς (fine-grained) ελέγχου πρόσβασης στα ενσωματωμένα αυτά συστήματα και τους πόρους/υπηρεσίες τους, με επίγνωση πλαισίου (context-awareness). Οι περιορισμοί των διαθέσιμων πόρων των συσκευών που ενσωματώνονται σε έξυπνα περιβάλλοντα και η ετερογένειά τους (σε υλικό, δικτύωση, εφαρμογές κλπ.), επιδεινώνουν τα προβλήματα αυτά και δυσχεραίνουν την αντιμετώπισή τους. Έτσι, συχνά συνυφασμένο με τα θέματα ασφάλειας, είναι ένα άλλο σημαντικό εμπόδιο: η έλλειψη διαλειτουργικότητας που θα διευκόλυνε τη χρήση, παρακολούθηση και διαχείριση της πληθώρας των έξυπνων συσκευών και των υπηρεσιών τους. Παρόλο που οι απρόσκοπτες αλληλεπιδράσεις μηχανής-προς-μηχανή (M2M) και ανθρώπου-προς-μηχανή (H2M) είναι αναγκαίες για ένα πραγματικό και ασφαλές περιβάλλον διάχυτης νοημοσύνης, σήμερα υπάρχει μια κατακερματισμένη αγοράς με ποικιλία ασύμβατων μεταξύ τους συσκευών.Τα παραπάνω προβλήματα αποτέλεσαν το κίνητρο για τη διατριβή αυτή, που παρουσιάζει το uSPBM, ένα ασφαλές πλαίσιο διαχείρισης και προστασίας έξυπνων συσκευών, μέσω πολιτικών ασφάλειας, με έμφαση στη χρήση τυποποιημένων τεχνολογιών, λαμβάνοντας υπόψιν και τους περιορισμούς πόρων των συσκευών αυτών. Με το συνδυασμό του λεπτομερούς ελέγχου πρόσβασης που παρέχεται από την eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) με τα οφέλη των Service Oriented Αρχιτεκτονικών, μέσω του Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS), επιτρέπει την απρόσκοπτη αλληλεπίδραση και τη διαχείριση, σε πραγματικό χρόνο, ετερογενών έξυπνων συσκευών, μέσω πολιτικών ασφάλειας με επίγνωση πλαισίου. Επιπλέον, το uSPBM περιλαμβάνει αρθρωτά στοιχεία που επιτρέπουν την αυθεντικοποίηση (authentication) των χρηστών και των συσκευών, επικοινωνία μεταξύ διαφορετικών, κατανεμημένων δικτύων, καθώς και αυτοματοποιημένη, πραγματικού χρόνου παρακολούθηση και διαχείριση των συσκευών, των παραμέτρων λειτουργίας τους, και των υπηρεσιών τους, μέσω διεπαφών ενδιάμεσου λογισμικού.Το παρουσιαζόμενο έργο περιλαμβάνει proof of concept υλοποιήσεις όλων των οντοτήτων του πλαισίου σε μία ποικιλία από πλατφόρμες υλικού, συμπεριλαμβανομένων καινοτόμων εργαλείων ανάπτυξης τα οποία ξεπερνούν σε απόδοση τις προϋπάρχουσες λύσεις. Οι υλοποιήσεις αξιολογούνται λεπτομερώς σε μια σειρά από περιπτώσεις χρήσης, όπου η εφαρμογή του uSPBM ξεπερνάει την τρέχουσα τεχνολογία αιχμής από άποψη διαλειτουργικότητας, ελέγχου πρόσβασης, και παρακολούθησης και διαχείρισης σε πραγματικό χρόνο των έξυπνων συσκευών. Τα αποτελέσματα επικυρώνουν την εφαρμοσιμότητα του uSPBM και τη σημασία του στην ευρύτερη υιοθέτηση του IoT, επιτρέποντας έτσι στους χρήστες να αποκομίσουν όλα τα οφέλη της νέας αυτής πραγματικότητας.

Deep learning (DL) networks have proven to be crucial in commercial solutions with computer vision challenges due to their abilities to extract high-level abstractions of the image data and their capabilities of being easily adapted to many applications. As a result, DL methodologies had become a de facto standard for computer vision problems yielding many new kinds of research, approaches and applications. Recently, the commercial sector is also driving to use of embedded systems to be able to execute DL models, which has caused an important change on the DL panorama and the embedded systems themselves. Consequently, in this paper, we attempt to study the state of the art of embedded systems, such as GPUs, FPGAs and Mobile SoCs, that are able to use DL techniques, to modernize the stakeholders with the new systems available in the market. Besides, we aim at helping them to determine which of these systems can be beneficial and suitable for their applications in terms of upgradeability, price, deployment and performance.

Embedded Applications

Though embedded applications were originally built on standalone devices, nowadays these devices require a growing integration with other systems through their interconnection with TCP/IP networks. Web Services, which provide a service oriented distributed architecture for the interconnection of systems through TCP/IP networks, have been widely adopted for the integration of business applications, but this sort of integration is still not widely provided by embedded applications. The present work aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using Web Services for the integration of embedded applications running on heterogeneous architectures. This is achieved through the provision of a support for the development and deployment of web services for embedded applications. Basic objective of the system developed is to monitor and control Humidity and Temperature through Internet using interactive computer front end. The feasibility of this approach in terms of security and authentications of its Internet users is demonstrated by developing an mail server along with application deployed. Mail server keeps track of authorised users’ with login password and email ID in a database table. This information is used to identify authorised users who are allowed to make changes in control parameters of the stated embedded application.
