Guest editor's preface to the special section on discovery and interaction of mobile services

Published: 01 January 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Mobile services are wireless mobile computing applications and services located on remote servers or peer's devices in a mobile ad hoc setting (MANET). In order to use these services, users of handheld wireless devices must be able to locate them first. One of the fundamental challenges in mobile computing is the discovery of relevant services in dynamically changing environments such as MANETs. Many of the available service discovery protocols were designed for infrastructure-based wired networks and therefore are not suitable for MANETs. The few discovery protocols designed for MANETs do not offer location-based and context-aware service selection, and feature minimal interaction methods.
