Abstract
UPnP is middleware designed for network "plug and play". It uses technologies developed specifically for UPnP but also borrows technologies such as SOAP from Web services for remote procedure calls. SOAP has been criticised as inappropriate for Web systems and this paper shows that these criticisms are equally applicable for UPnP. It shows how mechanisms built on REST principles can produce smaller, faster and simpler UPnP systems.
