Web service wrapping technologies for customizable consumer electronics

Many vendors or producers of consumer electronics provide web services for collecting data from consumer devices or accessing it from web applications. In this paper, we develop an approach for supporting users of consumer devices in building customized applications on demand. We use Webble technology, a component-based middleware system, as a base technology for distribution of visual components. Users can reuse web services that are connected to data or devices by wrapping those web services as visual components. We demonstrate the potential of the approach with an application example with real world consumer web services.
