Existing approaches to service discovery have been developed
primarily for environments with a fixed network backbone and typically rely on
centralized components being accessible to potential service clients at any given
time. The characteristic lack of a designated service infrastructure in
combination with the highly dynamic nature of the underlying network
topology renders such discovery mechanisms unsuitable for mobile ad hoc
environments. This paper presents an approach to the discovery of ad hoc
services that exploits the fact that the relevance of such services is often limited
to specific geographical scopes. Service providers define the areas (proximities)
in which their services are available. Clients register interest in specific services
and are subsequently informed whenever they enter a proximity within which
these services are available. Since ad hoc services can be stationary or may be
moving with the location of their mobile providers our approach supports
discovery of services with fixed locations as well as of those that migrate with
their providers. Our approach has been implemented as a push-based proximity
discovery service and its evaluation demonstrates that it is well suited for highly
dynamic networks as it maintains neither routes nor overlay network
topologies.
