Abstract

Service-Oriented Architectures rely on services cooperation to answer requesters' needs. Services invocation requires access points, such as Internet URLs, provided by specific services called registries. Traditional registries allow to register (advertise) services and provide requesters with suitable services' binding information. However, these registries are not designed to take a particular concern about Location-Based Services (LBSs). LBSs' discovery must be strongly related to requesters' provided geographical locations as well as LBSs' coverage areas which define LBSs' geographical limits of action. This work introduces Spatial Registries, a new type of registries specialized in LBSs' registration and discovery. Spatial Registries' operations on LBSs registration and discovery are described. Different architectural designs and security issues related to Spatial Registries are also discussed.
