However, existing service discovery protocols and delivery mechanisms designed for traditional infrastructure-based networks fall short of accommodating the complexities of the ad hoc environment. Konark is a service discovery and delivery protocol designed specifically for ad hoc, peer-to-peer networks, and targeted toward device-independent services in general and m-commerce oriented software services in particular. It has two major aspects-service discovery and service delivery. For discovery, Konark uses a novel decentralized, peer-to-peer mechanism that provides each device the ability to advertise and discover services in an efficient way. The approach toward service description is XML-based. It includes a description template that allows services to be described in a human and software understandable forms. A micro-HTTP server present on each device handles service delivery, which is based on SOAP. Konark provides a framework for connecting isolated services offered by proximal pervasive devices over a wireless medium.

Existing peer-to-peer systems target very specific application space like sharing music files or instant messaging. They were mainly developed for wired connections and higher computing stationary devices like PCs. Thus they fall short of accommodating the complexities of ad-hoc environments. We introduce Konark, a service discovery and delivery protocol for adhoc, peer-to-peer networks. We also describe an implementation of Konark that provides an infrastructure to deploy generic peer-to-peer systems. Konark takes the help of an underlying network for peer naming and message routing. For resource discovery, Konark uses a completely distributed, peer-to-peer mechanism that provides each peer the ability to advertise and discover resources in the ad-hoc network. It has an XML based description template that allows resources to be described in a human and software understandable forms. A micro HTTP server present on each peer handles service delivery, which is based on SOAP.

However, existing service discovery protocols and delivery mechanisms fall short of accommodating the complexities of the ad-hoc environment. They also place emphasis on device capabilities as services rather than device independent software services, making them unsuitable for m-commerce oriented scenarios.
