“…Service-level and operation-level versioning is handled in the proposed work. Charfi et al (2010) Universal Service Description Language is a proposed for describing business, operational, and technical aspects of the universal services. It is a general purpose, domain independent language for Internet of Services.…”

“…Zachman framework was used for specifying service properties and their relationship from a service provider's viewpoint for service descriptions depending on the relative perspective. Cardoso et al (Cardoso et al, 2010) and Charfi et al(Charfi et al, 2010) proposed a new service description language named Unified Service Description Language (USDL).

With the increasing processing capability of mobile platforms and advancements in Internet of Things, modern mobile devices have shown a favorable prospect for on-the-go service provisioning. However, there is much to be done to realize this. A detailed, dynamic, and lightweight service description is an important requirement for automatic and efficient discovery, selection, and subsequent provisioning of services over mobile devices. Traditional approaches for service description are usually not directly adaptable to mobile environments owing to the latter's dynamic and distinct nature. In this paper, we propose a dynamic, lightweight, extensible, and detailed service description especially designed for mobile environments, considering crucial aspects such as isolated data source, collaborator partners, and hardware aspects along with the functional, non-functional, business, and contextual aspects. The description has been partitioned along these lines and various parts of the description are distributed between service registries and the mobile service providers. An up-to-date and light weight description has been achieved by this, without compromising on the overall consistency of the description. A prototype of the proposed system has been implemented with the intent of validating the feasibility of the approach. Further, the proposed approach is suitable for a heterogeneous environment comprising both wired and wireless systems.

Mobile devices today are increasingly being looked upon as potential platforms for service provisioning rather than mere 'service consumers'. There is, however, much that needs to be done to realize this. A detailed, dynamic, and lightweight service description is an important requirement for the automatic and efficient discovery, selection, and subsequently provisioning of services over mobile devices. Traditional approaches for service provisioning are usually not directly adaptable to the mobile environments owing to the latter's dynamic and distinct nature. Hence, in this paper a lightweight and extensible approach for service description especially designed for mobile environments is proposed. The proposed approach incorporates detailed and rich descriptions covering functional, non-functional, contextual, and business aspects of services to be provisioned over mobile devices. The service descriptions have been partitioned along these lines and the various parts are distributed between service registries and the mobile service providers. This facilitates the service provider to maintain an up-to-date description without having to compromise on the overall consistency of the description. The proposed service description is good for a heterogeneous environment comprising both wired and wireless systems. A prototype of the proposed system has been implemented with the intent of validating the feasibility of the approach.

Abstract. In future, the so called "sensing enterprise", as part of the Future Internet, will play a crucial role in the success or the failure of an enterprise. We present our vision of an enterprise interacting with the physical world based on a retail scenario. One of the main challenges is the interoperability not only between the enterprise IT systems themselves, but also between these systems and the sensing devices. We will argue that semantically enriched service descriptions, the so called linked services will ease interoperability between two or more enterprises IT systems, and between enterprise systems and the physical environment.
