“…We refer to QoS, such that at any instant, numerous potential compositions subsist in the environment fulfilling a task. Separating one composition from another is the QoS coupled with the particular composition [2,3].…”

“…In our second approach [3], we examined the possibility of performing device discovery without the use of broadcastbased service advertisements by modeling and solving service discovery as a distributed constraint satisfaction problem (distCSP) [17]. By developing and applying a backtrackingbased algorithm, we showed the effectiveness of our method in achieving high QoS compositions without the unnecessary depletion of node resources caused by broadcast-based service advertisements.…”

“…In our previous works [2,3], we addressed the open problem of allowing for the automatic composition of devices, and the services they provide, to create dynamic service configurations. In finding more reactive and decentralized solutions to the problem, we focused on distributed virtual device composition in mobile ad hoc network environments (MANETs).…”

Personal computing is experiencing a shift from conventional computer-centric approaches, where the overall user experience and quality of service is determined by the capability of a single device, towards human centric approaches forming implicit devices, also known as virtual devices or virtual appliances. Virtual devices exploit the strengths of a series of strong specific networked appliances for enhanced user experience and quality of service. In this paper we contribute towards the autonomous management of virtual devices, moving away from infrastructure based schemes with heavy user involvement to decentralized and zero touch (i.e. no user involvement) solutions. In doing so, we present the components and methodology behind a policy-driven autonomous framework for the dynamic discovery, selection, and composition of multimodal multi-device services. The framework operates in an ad hoc network setting and introduces a Service Overlay Network (SON) based definition of a virtual device.978-1-4244-5626-0/09/$26.00 ©2009 IEEE
