IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SERVICES COMPUTING, VOL. 3, NO. 3, JULY-SEPTEMBER 2010 223 Interacting with the SOA-Based Internet of Things: Discovery, Query, Selection, and On-Demand Provisioning of Web Services Dominique Guinard, Student Member, IEEE, Vlad Trifa, Student Member, IEEE, Stamatis Karnouskos, Senior Member, IEEE, Patrik Spiess, Member, IEEE, and Domnic Savio, Member, IEEE Abstract—The increasing usage of smart embedded devices in business blurs the line between the virtual and real worlds. This creates new opportunities to build applications that better integrate real-time state of the physical world, and hence, provides enterprise services that are highly dynamic, more diverse, and efficient. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approaches traditionally used to couple functionality of heavyweight corporate IT systems, are becoming applicable to embedded real-world devices, i.e., objects of the physical world that feature embedded processing and communication. In such infrastructures, composed of large numbers of networked, resource-limited devices, the discovery of services and on-demand provisioning of missing functionality is a significant challenge. We propose a process and a suitable system architecture that enables developers and business process designers to dynamically query, select, and use running instances of real-world services (i.e., services running on physical devices) or even deploy new ones on-demand, all in the context of composite, real-world business applications. Index Terms—Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), service discovery, web services, REST, Web of Things, device integration, composite applications, wireless sensor (actuator) networks, context modeling, ubiquitous b
