Development of a service-oriented architecture for the dynamic integration of mobile remote software components

The paper presents the work in progress of a project funded by the European Commission's aimed at enabling the integration between software components running on onboard truck terminals and ground based information systems to increase safety, efficiency and quality of road infrastructures. Despite the fact that the system originates in a automotive context, the architecture can be used for a wide range of control applications characterized by mobile software components. The system architecture goals are to collect vehicle data and make such data accessible from external information system through open application interfaces over standard wireless network technology
