IEEE 1451 http server implementation for marine data

Accessing real time data from a marine sensor network (MSN) can be a challenge.Open access to real time data using interoperable internet technologies is one of the major demands.The IEEE 1451 Smart Transducer Interface Standards [1,2] specify a standard API (application processor interface) process to discover and access sensor data by using an HTTP connection.This paper presents an HTTP Server for Marine Data coming from OBSEA [3,5] cabled Observatory at the Western Mediterranean Sea.The implementation was using LabVIEW Web Services.
