Commercial Service Discovery in Mobile E-Business Environments

Due to recent developments in mobile E-business networks and devices, many researches are on going to apply commercial services to mobile network environments. This paper proposes a novel distributed commercial service discovery algorithm in mobile E-business environments. This method is based on the concepts of social relationship overlay. At each node, the request is replicated and forwarded to several neighbors, which widens the width of searching. Our method supports high mobility and is suitable for mobile E-business networks. By adjusting the number of replica dynamically, a better tradeoff between cost and quality could be achieved.
