Abstract
Networked devices should be as easy for consumers to set up as stereo equipment-when you plug it in and turn it on, it just works. Universal Plug and Play technology can make this happen.

Traditionally, network peripherals have not been easy to install. Recent standards such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Plug-and-Play have improved the situation so that devices are automatically detected and device drivers automatically installed. Yet, networked devices, like Internet gateways and networked printers, still require manual setup and configuration.

In this course you will learn the motivation and context for creation of UPnP technologies, the organization and structure of the UPnP Forum, basic concepts and terminology of the UPnP architecture, and a detailed review of the framework protocols such as SSDP, SOAP, and GENA.
