Using geodata and geoprocessing web services in embedded device

Using XML web services in embedded system could be able to use the existing geodata and geoprocessing services through wired/wireless network. However, the processing and memory limitations of embedded devices exacerbate the problem in the area of complexity, constraints, and the verbosity of the protocols used in XML web services effect the usability of XML. This paper presents a GPS navigation system, which accesses OGC-compliant geodata and geoprocessing services using gSOAP toolkit. This system composes of hardware platform, embedded operation system and software system. Our experimental result shows gSOAP could provides transparent SOAP API allows embedded system using XML web services.
