“…A robust, automatic, and reliable mechanism for service discovery is indispensable to distributed systems such as Grid computing, Web services, and pervasive computing because it helps users to locate services or resources required in such systems [7,8,9,10]. To overcome the drawbacks and inefficiencies of centralized service discovery in terms of scalability, fault-tolerance, and network congestion, a number of fully decentralized solutions were proposed.…”

Abstract. As the Cloud computing appears to be part of the mainstream computing in a few years, the number of the services it provides, its users, and the requests of these services will be on the rise accordingly. To deliver satisfactory experience to Cloud users, it is essential that highly scalable techniques for service discovery should be available. We embarked on a preliminary study, in Cloud environments, on service discovery by adopting an unstructured P2P technique. In the context of Cloud computing, we start by examining proposed and deployed solutions to service discovery, discuss the methodology of developping efficient mechanisms for service description, description indexing, and query routing, and finally identify open issues.

“…Of course, various (other) criteria for service discovery have been already proposed in diverse surveys (see e. g. [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]) by the web service community. However, these surveys evaluate publicly available service registries or categorize the latest service discovery approaches and therefore establish more general criteria, without regarding the special needs of autonomic service discovery.…”

Abstract-Service-oriented architecture has become the standard paradigm for software component integration. However, with the permanently increasing amount of available services and dynamic changes, the complexity of such service infrastructures, their maintenance, and consequently the expenditures spent for their operation increase equally. To deal with these effects, an improvement of service composition and discovery becomes necessary, especially a higher degree of automation. Following the idea of Autonomic Computing, which similarly aims at automating processes and workflows to a high degree, service composition and discovery have to proceed autonomously, which will on the one hand side reduce human involvement to a minimum, but on the other side require certain capabilities on the part of these mechanisms. For these purposes, in this paper we define prime criteria that have to be fulfilled for an autonomic service discovery. Based on that we present a comprehensive survey on existing service discovery approaches and evaluate to which extent they already fulfill these criteria. As a result, the paper reveals that there already exist some approaches that support or even fulfill a couple of the proposed criteria, which principally enables autonomic properties, but what is missing is an holistic approach focusing explicitly on providing autonomic properties.

“…From another perspective, it constitutes the major part of Cloud Computing Systems in addition to thin clients and utility computing [1][2][3][4]. Hence, Grid computing has attracted many researchers [5]. The interest in Grid computing has gone beyond the paradigm of traditional Grid computing to a Wireless Grid computing [6].…”
