Universal Plug and Play provides an easy framework for seamless integration of network devices. Learn how to build your own UPnP solution using the open source BRisa framework.
The arrival of consumer electronic devices such as PDAs, cell phones, and Internet tablets has placed new emphasis on techniques for connecting and sharing information. The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standard is a good candidate to provide pervasive services for a new generation of electronic devices.
The original concept of Plug and Play focused on dynamically attaching devices directly to a computer. A device driver controlled by the operating system detected the peripheral and made it available to the user via system calls. The new Universal Plug and Play standard offers a radically different approach: Devices operate on a network and are detected with the use of network protocols. The system calls used in the previous plug and play architecture are replaced by remote method invocation with the use of SOAP web services.
