In addition, the future mobile service can be anything and anybody including end-users can be service providers. This will result to the demand of having a dynamic and efficient service discovery and service matching. The paper discussed on the requirements of future service discovery based on the limitations found in the evaluation of existing service discovery schemes. Finally, the design of a future service discovery solution is proposed.
