JESA Service Discovery Protocol

Pervasive computing requires management techniques allowing efficient service handling in volatile contexts. The Java Enhanced Service Architecture (JESA) is a service platform addressing this issue for resource limited devices. A major problem in dynamic service networks is the discovery of desired services. The JESA Service Discovery Protocol (JSDP), one of JESA’s core components, is a lightweight, platform independent service discovery protocol for ad-hoc networks. JSDP features transparent operation with or without central service brokers providing scalability from point-to-point connections to larger structured networks.
