SharedSpace based service discovery mechanism and its implementation for ubiquitous environments

We propose a new service discovery method based on Shared-Space concept. SharedSpace is a virtual community space for service registration and sharing, which is similar to a chat room in a chat system. Any user can freely create a SharedSpace and register his/her services. Others can join the created SharedSpace as members and register their services. All registered services can be shared by the SharedSpace members as if they are in a single network. Detailed mechanism is designed and implemented with Obje middleware in order to validate our scheme.
