Abstract
The integration of common OpenGIS Web Services (OWS) into the Internet of Things and Service (IoTS) paradigm is a difficult task since they are based on HTTP with all its weak points. E.g. coupling small sensing devices or real-time processes with these services takes an enormous effort due to the different domain requirements. This paper focuses on extending existing geo web services with a push-based messaging mechanism to overcome their major drawbacks. We introduce the concept of GeoPipes and an exemplary implementation of them using the GeoMQTT protocol. The latter one is an extension of the MQTT protocol which is presented in this paper. Application examples show that with this concept a lot of technological issues can be solved easier.
