Abstract

With the advent of new communication technologies and the ubiquity of wireless networks, computing devices have become portable and mobile, increasing the need to interconnect them. The new generation of applications tend to be ubiquitous and context-aware. In the current Internet, the existing name resolution service, the DNS, has a key role, since most of the applications make use of a name resolution to obtain the IP address of a host. However, it is proven that the DNS does not adequately support the requirements of the new generation of applications. This paper presents an architecture for a context-based name resolution service, along with a review of its main concepts and related works.
