Service advertisement and discovery technologies enable device cooperation and reduce configuration hassles, a necessity in increasingly mobile computing environments. This article surveys five competing but similar "service discovery suites" and looks at efforts to bridge the technologies. Although most of these service discovery suites promise similar functionality (namely, reduced configuration hassles, improved device cooperation, and automated discovery of required services) they come at the problem from different philosophical and technical approaches. Since none of these technologies is a superset of the others and none is mature enough to dominate the market, interoperation among them will require bridging mechanisms. The survey concludes with a review of some developments in this area.
服务广告和发现技术可实现设备合作并减少配置麻烦,这在移动计算日益普及的环境中是必不可少的。本文介绍了五种相互竞争但又相似的 "服务发现套件",并探讨了在这些技术之间搭建桥梁的努力。尽管大多数服务发现套件都承诺提供类似的功能(即减少配置麻烦、改善设备合作和自动发现所需服务),但它们从不同的哲学和技术角度来解决问题。由于这些技术都不是其他技术的超集,也都不够成熟,无法在市场上占据主导地位,因此它们之间的互操作将需要桥接机制。调查报告最后回顾了这一领域的一些发展情况。
