Access to Local Resources in a Nomadic Environment

چکیده
We propose a standard level of support for nomadic computing in which a mobile client can move into unfamiliar environments and obtain services for which it has no corresponding client RPC stub. We call this activity service discovery and motivate its importance for mobile computing. This paper describes the general components of service discovery and points out where traditional paradigms of distributed computing fall short of its requirements. We suggest an architecture for an environment which uses SLIP or PPP over modem connections, a directory service based on the ODP trading function, and a dynamic interface mechanism for ad hoc client-server interaction.
