An optimised semantic web services discovery in MANET
Résumé
The web services discovery process in mobile ad hoc networks is
considered as a very difficult challenge due to the continuous change in the
topology of the network and also the lack of a fixed central directory for
publishing web services. Several approaches have been proposed, all these
solutions are based on either keywords or identifiers representing the service to
be searched or by using a specific scenario of discovery, all by trying to respect
the constraints of ad hoc networks such as energy, bandwidth, throughput, etc.
In this paper, we will present a new web services discovery protocol based on
the dissemination of semantic web services information in routing process
using the cross-layer routing techniques. We will also present the simulation
results obtained where we have noticed a significant optimisation of the
energy consumption level and of the average throughput using the
DISCOVERY_DIAMETER parameter that we have proposed to limit the area
of discovery in the network
