An Efficient and Lightweight EWS for non-Internet Devices in Ubiquitous Computing Environment

The greatest benefit of embedded Web server (EWS) is without a doubt the availability of a standard connection to non-Internet devices using the Internet. Since the use of Web server in ubiquitous computing opens new method for maintaining and supervising non-Internet devices, Web server has become a helpful tool for users to control and manage these non-Internet devices remotely. In this paper, we propose an efficient and lightweight EWS - Webit and evaluate how far it can be said to give the users fast and user-friendly ways to access, monitor, control and configure non-Internet devices with standard Web browsers in real-time. We also describe the architecture of Webit in detail and present how to design and implement it. Finally we compare the results of Webit's performance with those of other similar EWS products.
