Description
This book examines the challenges of service discovery in mobile environments with heterogeneous devices, unstable communications, and dynamic service availability. It introduces foundational and advanced web and mobile service discovery topics, including state-of-the-art approaches, techniques, mechanisms, frameworks, and implementation strategies. Using real-world examples and case studies, you will be better positioned to solve problems and nd effective service discovery solutions through technologies. The examples range from a constrained ecosystem in which service discovery possibilities are limited, to protocols and specifications to enable sufficient service discovery opportunities. Context awareness, semantic enrichment, and matchmaking techniques are highlighted for effective categorization and discovery of services. It also discusses applications in smart health care and sustainability systems. The emerging areas of microservice and blockchain technologies are also described throughout the text. Researchers, practitioners, and students are the intended audience of this book. This book looks at changes in mobile ecosystems into the foreseeable future to relate to theory and practice for researchers, from novices to experts.
