Embedded Web Server

Participants : Simon Duquennoy, Gilles Grimaud, Jean-Jacques Vandewalle.

We consider in this work the integration of a dedicated web server in small embedded devices. In [8] , we motivate the deployement of dedicated web server in various POPS. In [9] , we demonstrated the weakness of existing approch to embed TCP/IP stack. and we show a new set of algorithms allowing to manage TCP/IP protocols in an optimal way for static contents distributed by small devices through HTTP. In [7] (based on a previsous work published in [19] ) we proposed a complete taxonomy of the kind of contents distributed by web services. According to this taxonomy we propose serveral innovative ways to produce web content and to manage efficiently HTTP/TCP/IP stack in a POPS. Finally, in [6] we focus our attention on an emerging approach used to distribute dynamic contents on the web. We propose dedicated algorithms, embedded on small devices, and used to manage the very efficient comet paradigm.
