Abstract :
The founder of Agranat Systems examines the design issues involved in engineering effective Web technologies for embedded systems. Small embedded TCP/IP stacks and Web server software now make it possible to manufacture reliable, inexpensive Web-enabled devices across many industries and markets. Embedded systems require Web servers that are designed to minimize memory footprint and avoid interference with mission-critical and real-time applications. To guarantee a reliable user interface with minimal impact on system performance, the server software should utilize the latest HTTP 1.1 standards from the Internet Engineering Task Force. It won´t be long before intelligent devices worldwide will be nodes on a network and managed from Web browsers
