Abstract :
MMS is an application layer protocol developed for ensuring the interconnection and inter-working of heterogeneous industrial devices and more conventional computers. It is becoming widely accepted as the main protocol for open communications between heterogeneous machines in many areas that are not limited to manufacturing. In this paper, we first analyse the strengths and weaknesses of an MMS server implementation architecture proposed earlier. Then we refine the classification of MMS services and propose a generic architecture for the implementation of MMS servers
