Abstract

This paper presents an end-user oriented approach of describing mobile devices as RESTful services. The mobile services are provided to the end-users through a centralized server. To enable plugging of devices, they provide a machine-processable device description with detailed specification of their RESTful API. The device description is used to generate required user interface as well as generating the RESTful invocations. We provide general guidelines on how to design a REST API for a mobile device and a device description for machine-to-machine interactions. The approach is demonstrated by building a centralized marketplace to promote and use available mobile services. The central marketplace acts as a broker for the dynamic mobile services. In addition, we use two case study applications to demonstrate the service registration, provisioning, and usage.
