When you turn on your cell phone, the first thing you see is the message looking for service . During the delay to follow your phone is busy locating the network and negotiating admission to it. This is called programming service discovery interfaces; it is not easy, but it's a prerequisite for all telecom services. This title teaches developers how to do it right. It explains and compares competing platforms: Bluetooth, Jini, Salutation, SLP and UPnP.
