Framework for Web integration of factory communication systems
Martin Wollschlaeger · 2002
The adoption of Web-related technologies is an important challenge. Web integration does not only cover the adoption of technologies in application, but also a transparent integration of Web application protocols and use of description technology for interfaces. These tasks can be combined within a framework, allowing applications to share information with each other using standardised access methods and exchange formats. The paper outlines the meaning of a generic description and of an appropriate content model for Web integration of factory communication systems.
