Design and implementation on SOAP-based things management protocol for internet of things.

With development of integration requirements for things' information based on different connection technology in Internet of Things, higher level connection-technology-independent protocols are needed to shield different connection technologies. Things management protocol is one of these protocols and can be used to exchange things' information. Architecture of Internet of Things and necessity of things management protocol are discussed. A SOAP-based things management protocol is designed and implemented, including operations supported, interface definitions for these operations, implementation structure and processing for this protocol.
