Abstract

In this article, we describe our work on peer services and their description to allow an invocation of them in a distributed environment. The basic idea is that service publication and service invocation are made using descriptions of what is available and what is requested, respectively. There is no prior agreement between services, their descriptions are built independently. Service publications and service requests are sent to a coordinating element of the architecture responsible for matching publications and requests descriptions.
