A Self-Configuring Resolver Architecture for Resource Discovery and Routing in Device Networks

Network environments of the future will be characterized by a variety of mobile and wireless devices in addition to general-purpose computers. Such environments display a degree of dynamism not usually seen in traditional wired networks due to mobility of nodes and services, rapid uctuations in performance, and node failures. This combination of heterogeneity and dynamism makes it hard for applications to discover the network locations of services that best satisfy their needs. This thesis...
