Building Distributed Embedded Systems with Web Services on Devices

The Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS) is an industry specification that represents a lightweight subset of the overall Web services protocol suite targeted at network-connected devices. In this introductory session we discuss how to build loosely coupled, distributed embedded systems using the Web Services for Device API (Microsoft's implementation of DPWS) in Windows Embedded and Windows Vista. As practical demos, we'll use WSD on Vista Media Center to control a lamp, and even a washing machine live, on stage! You won't want to miss this session!
