Introducing Devices Profile for Web Services

Tags:
web services

Overview Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS) is a Web Services profile that enables plug-and-play for networked devices. A PC or other device can detect DPWS-enabled devices on a network, then discover and invoke the Web service functionality each device provides. Its purpose is similar to Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), although it employs a Web Services model. DPWS, also called Web Services on Devices (WSD), is part of the Windows Rally technology set for network-connected devices. A DPWS client library (known as WSDAPI) is a part of Windows Vista, and DPWS-enabled devices automatically appear in the Windows Vista Network Explorer.
