Abstract
In this paper we propose an architecture for modeling the service discovery functionality of
computing devices operating in pervasive computing environments. Forming wireless ad hoc networks
requires service discovery protocols that support both proximity-based detection and abstract level service
matching. In the proposed architecture, services, provided by sensors and actuators, are indirectly located
through polling while composite service matching is based on the intelligent agent philosophy. In this
way, our service discovery approach exploits the spread of proximity based device detection and the
dynamics of the multi-agent environments.
