Applications of Dynamic Deployment of Services in Industrial Automation
Abstract
Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming a de
facto paradigm for business and enterprise integration. SOA is expanding
into several domains of application envisioning a unified solution
suitable across all different layers of an enterprise infrastructure.
The application of SOA based on open web standards can significantly
enhance the interoperability and openness of those devices. By embedding
a dynamical deployment service even into small field de- vices, it would
be either possible to allow machine builders to place built- in services
and still allow the integrator to deploy on-the-run the services that
best fit his current application. This approach allows the developer to
keep his own preferred development language, but still deliver a SOA-
compliant application. A dynamic deployment service is envisaged as a
fundamental framework to support more complex applications, reducing
deployment delays, while increasing overall system agility. As use-case
scenario, a dynamic deployment service was implemented over DPWS and
WS-Management specifications allowing designing and programming an
automation application using IEC61131 languages, and deploying these
components as web services into devices.
