Abstract
Service discovery in ubiquitous environments faces various issues such as dynamic-topology, devices-capability, resource-sharing, interoperability etc. In this paper, we propose Service Discovery Middleware (SDM) to solve the interoperability issue by using Discovery Middleware (DM), which was introduced by the FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) [1]. The SDM provides an appropriate choice for providing interoperability in heterogeneous environments. Moreover, it supports a means for autonomic discovery of heterogeneous integration services in ubiquitous computing and transparency between users and services. With these ideas in mind, we design a simple mechanism for building a wide range of distributed services and applications as well as for supporting a softness and adaptable means to control and manage the Service Discovery Protocols (SDP). Furthermore, we implement as an example, a Personal Agent (PA) platform based on the FIPA-OS agent platform, in order to provide SDM component functionality [10] [20].
