Abstract--Applications using multicast service discovery protocols, such as iTunes, have become increasingly popular. However, multicast service discovery protocols generate signif...
— This paper proposes a service discovery protocol for sensor networks that is specifically tailored for use in humancentered pervasive environments. It uses the high-level conc...
Complex systems are those systems composed of many, often very simple, interacting autonomous entities. Interactions between these entities give rise to behaviour and patterns at t...
This paper describes an agent-based architecture that extends personal mobility to ubiquitous environment. A software agent, running on a portable device, leverages the existing se...
— As Service Discovery Protocols (SDP) are becoming increasingly important for ubiquitous computing, they must behave according to predefined principles. We present the function...

1 Service discovery protocols are used in distributed systems to locate services for clients. The services that are located as well as the clients requesting service are commonly a...
Communication and node failures degrade the ability of a service discovery protocol to ensure Users receive the correct service information when the service changes. We propose th...

: Service Discovery as an essential element in pervasive computing environments is widely accepted. Much active research on service discovery has been conducted, but privacy has be...
In pervasive computing environments, service discovery facilitates users to access network services by automating tedious manual configurations. When network services becomes perv...
Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) conveniently complement infrastructure-based networks, allowing mobile nodes to spontaneously form a network and share their services, including br...
