Abstract
The network computing industry has eagerly embraced technologies,welcoming an ever-increasing variety of new service discovery protocols and object architectures. With this abundance now offered across a wide collection of environments, technologies that offer standardized interfaces for the discovery process, while supporting communication for several different types of service access technologies, will provide the greatest achievable interoperability and resilience in the long-term. In this paper, we introduce a distributed architecture based on using directory services to significantly reduce the complexity of managing the information and services required to support next-generation networked applications, by providing automatic service discovery and a single coherent model for representing the data managed by supporting services. Standards-based solutions are used, and a prototype implementation of the CORBA Naming Service that has been designed to illustrate how the architecture incorporates distributed object models, directory services and multicast-based dynamic service discovery is presented.
