Abstract:
The role of mobile devices as Web Service consumers is widely accepted and a large number of mobile applications already consume Web Services in order to fulfill their task. Nevertheless, no reasonable approach exists, as yet, to allow deploying Web Services on mobile devices and thus uses these kinds of devices as Web Service providers. This paper presents an approach that allows deploying Web Services on mobile devices by the usage of the well-known protocols and standards and, at the same time, can overcome problems that usually occur when mobile devices are used as service providers. Here, we provide both the description of an implementation with results of a first performance test. The test shows that the described approach provides a reasonable way to introduce Web Service provisioning for mobile devices.
