Forum Context & Priorities Internet gateway devices: Extend present success

AV & imaging devices: Get interoperable products to market.

Security: Finalize solution and add security support to certification tool. Automation working committee: Complete sample implementations and

finalize specifications.

IGD working committee: extend the IGD specification & develop a specification for the auto configuration of wireless access points.

Certification entity: Grow list of certified devices and promote and exploit the UPnP logo.

Lowering the bar: Simplify the rules for adopting UPnP technology by enabling the Basic DCP approach.

IPv6: promote the benefits of IPv6 in devices on home networks.

UPnP-v2: Make transition to Web Services as smooth as possible.

Objectives of IGD/WAP Committee IGD

Enhancements to port mapping in v1 IPv6 support Firewall configuration

WAP Configuration of 802.11 access point parameters Configuration of security to easily introduce new clients

(key plumbing) Long term agenda is to harmonize the configuration,

control, and monitoring of networking gear for different physical media including:

QoS, QoS, Security, Security, configuration, & configuration, & diagnosticsdiagnostics

Direction of Printing & Imaging

Strong focus on UPnP v2 due to interest in enterprise deployment (where Web Services are important) in addition to consumer

Basic Device DCP

Enables device vendors to ship product based on private DCP

Intended to facilitate the adoption of UPnP technology

Is not sufficient for certification and for using the UPnP logo Unless at one or more standardized

services are included

UPnP v1 is Rock Solid

Big investments went into v1 Fruition of three years of work Spec is mature (industrial strength) Deployment of certified devices has started Availability of commercial tools Support in Windows Me, XP, CE .NET & future

versions

UPnP v2

Align UPnP with Web Services

Motivation for v2 Unify development tools for UPnP devices and

Web services Unify developer experience and knowledge Unify protocols so that a single stack

communicates with both UPnP devices and Web services

Progress on UPnP v2

Steering committee decided to adopt WSDL in Oct 2001

Microsoft and IBM agreed to grant a RANDZ (no royalty) license for the use of WSDL in the context of UPnP devices

Official W3C committee working on the WSDL schema language

Established a UPnP Forum Architecture Committee for defining the UPnP v2 architecture

UPnP Architecture Process

Amendment to UPnP Forum member agreement Introduced an Architecture Committee

consisting of up to seven steering committee members

Ratification of UPnP architecture spec. requires unanimous approval by AC and 75% majority of the steering committee

Architecture is licensed for implementations on multiple platforms
