This article surveys research in service advertising, discovery, and selection for mobile ad
hoc networks and related issues. We include a categorization of service discovery …

Service discovery is an integral part of the ad hoc networking to achieve stand-alone and
self-configurable communication networks. In this paper, we discuss possible service …

Service discovery is indispensable to ad hoc networking where establishing a stand-alone
and self-configurable communication environment is the main objective. In this paper, we …

An in-depth review of service discovery protocols (SDPs) in multihop mobile ad hoc
networks analyzes SDP building blocks and determines SDP suitability based on …

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) conveniently complement infrastructure-based
networks, allowing mobile nodes to spontaneously form a network and share their services …

This paper proposes a novel distributed service discovery protocol for mobile ad hoc
networks. The protocol is based on the concept of peer-to-peer caching of service …

Emerging" urban" ad hoc networks resulting from a large number of individual WLAN users
challenge the way users could explore and interact with their physical surroundings. Robust …

When a service is offered by multiple servers in a mobile ad hoc network (MANETs), the
manner in which clients and servers are paired together, referred to as service selection, is …

Service discovery in mobile ad hoc networks is challenging because of the absence of any
central intelligence in the network. Traditional solutions as used in the Internet are hence not …

In ad hoc networks, mobile devices communicate via wireless links without any fixed
infrastructure. These devices must be able to discover and share services dynamically. In …
