Abstract

Service Advertisement and Discovery is a fundamental process in service oriented computing, which also provides a precondition for other processes such as service selection and composition (these will be covered in detail in later chapters). This chapter provides an introductory overview of the concepts, standards and current developments related to Service Advertisement and Discovery, summarised from the perspectives of system architecture, data structures, system requirements and Web Services. The incorporation of agent-based technology into Service Advertisement and Discovery is covered, and the chapter concludes with a discussion of future research challenges in this area.
