Towards an Infrastructure-less SOA for Mobile Web Service Composition
Service composition enables customizable services to be provided to the
service consumers. Since the capabilities and the performances of mobile
devices (e.g., smart phone, PDA, handheld media player) have improved, a mobile
device can be utilized to interact with external mobile service providers
towards providing composite Web service to remote clients. Existing approaches
on mobile-hosted service composition are usually platform dependent, and rely
on centralized infrastructure. Such approaches are not feasible in an open,
mobile infrastructure-less environment, in which networked services are
implemented using different technologies, devices are capable of dynamically
joining or leaving the network, and a centralized management entity is
nonexistent. This paper proposes a solution to enable mobile Web service
composition in an open, infrastructure-less environment based on loosely
coupled SOA techniques.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
