Abstract
Service discovery technologies are exploited to enable services
to advertise their existence in a dynamic way, and can be discovered,
configured and used by other devices with a minimum of manual efforts.
Automatic service discovery will play essential role in future network
scenarios. Especially, the development Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) to
support the proliferation of mobile devices and emergence of pervasive
computing gives rise to the challenges of the service discovery
techniques, because MANET allows these devices to communicate dynamically
without fixed infrastructure and centralized administration. In this
paper, we present a dynamic service discovery infrastructure that uses
XML to describe services and match using the semantic content of service
descriptions for MANET. We believe that the architecture we have designed
is a necessary component of any discovery of non-infrastructure services
effectively and correctly. We further exploit the secure and performance
issues of this infrastructure.
