< Terms used >
● Instance = web server process
● Requester = any SW component that request to own a service
● Service = Unique URI address used to identify communication with a requesters : e.g: http://192.168.1.1/STATUS

Communication Diagram
How ?
● HTTP Service application written in Java compliant with Dalvik virtual machine, it exports com.android.http_service.* ● Web Services Instance Monkey HTTP Daemon (web server)
● How Instances and HTTP Service talk ? Through Monkey Duda interface
Why Monkey ?
…because Monkey Loves Android
Monkey Features● web server designed for embedded devices (ARM)● It's asynchronous, events oriented● It has a flexible Plugin interface (API)● It's binary size is only 55 KB● It's very very fast
We expect to implement this HTTP layer through GsoC 2012, this is a really good improvement!
