TY - CHAP A1 - Mathes, Markus A1 - Gärtner, Jochen A1 - Dohmann, Helmut A1 - Freisleben, Bernd T1 - SOAP4IPC: A Real-Time SOAP Engine for Industrial Automation T2 - 17th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing N2 - The adoption of service-oriented architectures based on web services in industrial automation promises increased interoperability and flexibility. However, industrial automation requires real-time processing, i.e. a task has to be processed within a specific deadline, which is a large obstacle for utilizing web services in this domain.The Time-Constrained Services (TiCS) framework meets the demands of industrial automation and empowers automation engineers to develop, deploy, publish, compose, and invoke time-constrained web services. This paper presents the TiCS real-time SOAP engine for industrial PCs called SOAP4IPC. It permits the execution of web services in real-time. The architecture of the SOAP4IPC engine, implementation details, and experimental results are discussed.
