Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Science) (Summer 2004)

Dissertation: On Service Discovery and Composition in Ad-hoc Environments
My research focused on developing distributed architectures
for service discovery and service composition in Ad-hoc environments. I
developed a distributed peer-to-peer caching based service discovery
architecture that is bandwidth efficient and employs bounded advertising and
intelligent selective forwarding to achieve network-wide reachability.
I developed broker-based distributed reactive protocols for service composition
in infrastructure-less ad-hoc environments that are adaptable to dynamic
service topology, mobility and device heterogeneity (in terms of memory, computational
capabilities).
