Abstract

Development of customized services by discovering, integrating and executing existing ones (refered to as service composition) has received a lot of attention in the last few years with respect to wired, infrastrutcure based web-services. With the advancement in the wireless technology and pervasive computing, we envison that in the near future, we will have such information or services embedded in various wireless devices in our vicinity. However, wired infrastructure-based service discovery and composition architectures do not take into consideration factors arising from the possible mobility of the service providers. In this paper, we present Anamika: a distributed, de-centralized and fault-tolerant design architecture for distributed service discovery and reactive service composition in pervasive environments.
