Service discovery in ubiquitous mobile computing environment

Abstract

In future ubiquitous mobile computing environment, a service can be anything and introduced by anybody. Consequently, same or equivalent services may have different names and services with same name or type may be completely different. Existing service discovery systems are incapable of handling these situations. We propose a service discovery, which is able to discover all these new service types. In addition, it is capable to find services that are not exact matches of the requested one. More semantics are introduced through attributes like EquivalenceClass, ParentType and Keywords.
