SerAN: Service advanced management for ambient networks based on pastry

The purpose of this paper is to explain the implementation of SerAN, an advanced management platform that provides services in an ambient networking environment. We make contributions in the ambient control space and the ambient network interface implementing a decentralized distributed hash table based on a P2P pastry system. Also this paper details the implementation of an ambient service interface using Web services to publish and lookup services from different nodes into composed heterogeneous ambient networks
