An Efficient and Lightweight EWS for non-Internet Devices in Ubiquitous Computing Environment

The greatest benefit of embedded Web server (EWS) is without a doubt the availability of a standard connection to non-Internet devices using the Internet. Since the use of Web server in ubiquitous computing opens new method for maintaining and supervising non-Internet devices, Web server has become a helpful tool for users to control and manage these non-Internet devices remotely. In this paper, we propose an efficient and lightweight EWS - Webit and evaluate how far it can be said to give the users fast and user-friendly ways to access, monitor, control and configure non-Internet devices with standard Web browsers in real-time. We also describe the architecture of Webit in detail and present how to design and implement it. Finally we compare the results of Webit´s performance with those of other similar EWS products.
