Abstract

Web Services is slowly evolving to be a promising technology for developing application in open, loosely coupled and distributed computing environments and in mobile commerce. The web is no longer a repository of information and has evolved into a medium for providing general and user-specific services to customers. One of the key requirements of the web services to meet user expectation is its universal accessibility free from temporal and spatial constraints. Such accessibility is not easy to achieve through wired internet and it appears that mobile approach is the only way out. Thus to access the web services from anywhere and anytime, a suitable wireless web services architecture is needed which must overcome the limitations of the mobile environment (service discovery, low bandwidth, limited power source and scalability bottleneck). This paper exploits the advances in wireless broadcast discipline and proposes a new architecture that overcomes a number of problems in discovering and using web services.
