Abstract

One of the core functionalities needed in ad-hoc peer-to-peer networks is service discovery. However, none of the existing solutions for service discovery work well in these dynamic, decentralized environments. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new approach to service discovery which is based on the dynamic organization of the services into multilayer clusters. These clusters are formed based on both physical and semantic proximity.
