Abstract

This tutorial paper presents an overview of existing approaches for service discovery and describes a service discovery framework that can support both static and dynamic service discovery. The framework and its extensions have been developed within the EU 6th Framework projects SeCSE and Gredia and the EU 7th Framework Network of Excellence S-Cube.
