Abstract

This paper deals with Web sensors that offer data structures and access features as described in the IEEE1451 standard, while give a Internet interface through an HTTP-based protocol, that has been inspired by IEEE1451.2 Transducer Independent Interface (TII). A two level software architecture that reduces Web-sensor structural complexity and leaves format and presentation concerns to the client side program, is introduced A self-configuring Java application for client side is then proposed with particular attention to minimize sensor overhead. Finally, a working experiment has been realized and some tests have been carried out to evaluate performances of the proposed Java interface architecture.
