Design of the OpenAPI adaptor for realizing the convergence among home networks

Abstract

For supporting interoperability and reusability among heterogeneous services of diverse sub-networks' in the pervasive environment, WSUN (Web Service on Universal Network) was developed. It realized the convergence of the home networks. In this paper we design the OpenAPI adaptor for WSUN for providing interoperability between OpenAPI services and services in other sub-networks' in WSUN. Through the use of OpenAPI, WSUN users take advantage of using mass existing services on the web. Based on the technologies of WSUN and OpenAPI, we propose concept design and operational processes definition of OpenAPI adaptor. The client use single service as well as conjunction with services in other sub-networks. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
