Abstract

Mobile devices are able to spontaneously form highly dynamicad hoc networks allowing for communication evenwhen no infrastructure exists. Ideally, these networks enablethe participating devices to share resources and services,thus overcoming the often severe limitations of theindividual devices' capabilities. In order to make this possible,powerful semantic service trading is needed. In thispaper, we propose a semantic overlay of hierarchical servicerings to achieve this goal. In contrast to existing approachesthis method is adapted to the specific characteristicsof ad hoc networks.
