“…The use and benefits of DPWS have also been studied extensively in the context of various other applications areas, including automotive and railway systems (Venkatesh et al [15]), industrial automation (Cucinotta et al [16]), eHealth (Pöhlsen et al [17]), and wireless sensor networks (Dohndorf et al [18]). All of the above are positive indicators for the future of the technology chosen as the underlying implementation and communication mechanism for the presented framework, and its potential for ubiquitous adoption.…”

Computing devices already permeate working and living environments; a trend which affects all aspects of modern everyday lives, and one which is expected to intensify in the coming years. In the residential setting, the enhanced features and services provided by said computing devices constitute what is typically referred to as a "smart home". However, the long-promised improvement in the quality of residential life cannot be realized without overcoming some significant obstacles introduced by these technological advancements. The direct interaction smart devices often have with the physical world, along with the processing, storage and communication of data pertaining to users' lives, i.e. private sensitive in nature, bring security concerns into the limelight. The resource-constraints of the platforms being integrated into a smart home environment, and their heterogeneity in hardware, network and overlaying technologies, only exacerbate the above issues. This paper presents Cross-domain Service Access Control for devices (XSACd), a framework that combines the well-studied fine-grained access control provided by the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) with the benefits of Service Oriented Architectures through the use of the Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS). Based on standardized technologies, it enables seamless interaction and fine-grained policy-based management of the heterogeneous embedded devices that may be found in a smart residential setting, including support for interactions between users and devices residing on different locations and networks. The proposed framework is implemented in full and its performance is evaluated on a test bed featuring relatively resource-constrained smart platforms and embedded devices.

The growing development of smart devices makes it possible to create new distributed applications targeted for smart spaces. The design of intelligent spaces assumes that there is an infrastructure to support the applications requirements. Many academic works have proposed middlewares that provide an abstraction for the use of network services. The network services of an smart space, such as an automated home, can have different communications interfaces. Accordingly, we developed a middleware called UDP4US (Universal Device Pipe for Ubiquitous Services) which was designed to abstract different patterns of communication, keeping the discovery of devices on a local network services. In this paper, we present a new UDP4US architecture component that aims to expose the local network devices services to the Internet. The new component was developed with the REST technology, thus the devices services can be discovered and accessed over the Internet. The new component was exhaustively tested in order to find the liits of its effectiveness. The evaluation of the new component was performed by measuring its discovery and execution times plus the success rate of the services execution exposed over the Internet. The results from the present work are important to guide a better design of distributed applications for smart places.

“…In the above work, the context information extracted by the iVision camera and all the necessary smart home appliance communications are exposed as web services using DPWS. The use and benefits of DPWS have also been studied extensively in the context of various other applications areas, including automotive and railway systems [15], industrial automation [16], smart grid [17], eHealth [18] and wireless sensor networks [19]. All of the above are positive indicators for the future of the technology chosen as the underlying implementation and communication mechanism for the presented framework, and its potential for ubiquitous adoption.…”

This paper presents Web Service Access Control for devices (WSACd), a framework that combines access control provided by the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) with the benefits of Service Oriented Architectures through the use of the Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS). Based on standardized technologies, it enables fine-grained policy-based management of the heterogeneous embedded devices that may be found in a smart residential setting. The proposed framework is implemented in full and its performance is evaluated on a test-bed featuring devices expected to be found in a typical residential environment.
