Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Component-Based Software Development (CSBD) has gained widespread importance in recent times, due to its wide-scale applicability in software development. System developers can now pick and choose from the pre-existing components to suit their requirements in order to build their system. For the purpose of developing a quality-aware system, finding the suitable components offering services is an essential and critical step. Hence, Service Discovery is an important step in the development of systems composed from already existing quality-aware software services. Currently, there is a plethora of new-age devices, such as PDAs, and cell phones that automate daily activities and provide a pervasive connectivity to users. The special characteristics of these devices (e.g., mobility, heterogeneity) make them as attractive choices to host services. Hence, they need to be considered and integrated in the service discovery process. However, due to their limitations of battery life, intermittent connectivity and processing capabilities this task is not a simple one.
This research addresses this challenge of including resource constrained devices by enhancing the UniFrame Resource Discovery System (URDS) architecture. This enhanced architecture is called Mobile Device Enabled Service Discovery System (MDE-URDS). The experimental validation of the MDE-URDS suggests that it is a scalable and quality-aware system, handling the limitations of mobile devices using existing and well established algorithms and protocols such as Mobile IP.
