Abstract –With the rising popularity of network-based applications and the potential use of mobile ad hoc networks in civilian life, an efficient resource discovery service is needed in such networks for quickly locating resource providers. In addition, to improve user experience, QoS awareness is also crucial. In this paper, we identify the challenges when basic resource discovery techniques f...

Nowadays, everybody talks about the famous phenomenon called ‘Big Data’. No one can escape this term particularly when we talk about large-scale distributed databases, i.e., data grid environment. Resource discovery (data source discovery) is an important step in the management, integration and querying of big data. The addressing protocol adopted for this discovery should respect not only the ...

Searching for information on the Internet became much easier when Google started delivering their service. We got used to getting the most important (probably) results on the top of the list. But more and more people realize the limitations of this solution: long list of results so we never know if the ordering is really the most effective; polluting results ordering with advertisements, and la...

This document defines the use case for Infrastructure ENUM and proposes its implementation as a parallel namespace to "e164.arpa", as defined in RFC 3761, as the long-term solution to the problem of allowing carriers to provision DNS records for telephone numbers independently of those provisioned by end users (number assignees). Table of

We present semantic approach to discovering, composing and deploying distributed service-based applications. This approach allows users to advertise services on the network in agent form as well as compose meta-agents from existing agents. Agent advertisement is done through a rich RDF representation, enabling a semantic agent discovery layer that sits on top of traditional middleware. We prese...

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as refer...
