An Open and Extensible Service Discovery for Ubiquitous Communication Systems

In future ubiquitous communication systems, 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 future 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 ones. More semantics are introduced through attributes like EquivalenceClass, ParentType and Keywords.
