Embedded information can be turned into revenue
generating sources using Internet-based mediation infrastructure. However, technical issues
must be addressed to create professional quality software solutions.
Scalablity: ability
to cope with large number of devices and/or high volumes of information
while network congestion should be avoided.
Adaptability and Flexibility
: ability to seamlessly customize the solution and have
it evolved easily at low cost with no complex development.
Integration with the
business information system through recognized standards and tools.
Distribution & Management
: ability to automate the deployment and control the execution of software geographically
distributed on thousands or millions of devices everywhere with
no additional cost compared to "classical" centralized
operations.
Security : ability
to handle devices at various places, with a wide variety of access
policies, firewall techniques, encryption, authentication.
Reliability : ability
to ensure the mediation solution is available and reliable and fault tolerant
despite transient failures of network, devices and servers, communication
channels.
