Delivering Web services based on data collected from distributed networks of smart devices presents several business and data-integration challenges for providers. Enterprise users need a scalable, standards-based mechanism that lets them run services without becoming experts in the technical aspects of service delivery. The Inside software infrastructure attempts to provide such a solution. Inside uses the Java 2 Enterprise Edition, the Open Services Gateway Initiative, and a suite of mediation components to address issues of scalability, dynamism, and transparency.
