Secured SOA for the Safe Interconnection of Medical Devices (Position Paper)

This position paper presents a concept on how the dynamic interconnection of medical devices in a service oriented architecture (SOA) can be secured based on formal interface descriptions. In the framework OpenSDC used in the research project OR.NET formal interface descriptions are already used to model medical devices. The new approach is to use this formal descriptions to ensure the correct usage of the interface at runtime and to support developers in implementing medical devices with OpenSDC at the same time.
