- Description of Working Group:
- The Service Location Working Group is chartered to investigate
- protocols to find and bind to service entities in a distributed internetworked
- environment. Issues that must be addressed are how such a protocol would
- interoperate with existing directory based services location protocols.
- Protocols that would be designed by this Group would be viewed as an adjunct
- to directory service protocols. These protocols would be able to provide a
- bridge between directory services and current schemes for service location.
-
- The nature of the services location problem is investigative in
- principle. There is no mandate that a protocol should be drafted as part
- of this process. It is the mandate of this Group to understand the operation
- of services location and then determine the correct action in their view
- whether it be to use current protocols to suggest a services location
- architecture or to design a new protocol to compliment current architectures.
-
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done Open discussion and determine if a Working Group should be formed.
-
- Done Continue discussion trying to refine the problem statement and
- possible resolutions.
-
- Jul 91 Do we take the RFC track or do we write a report on our conclusion
- and leave it at that?
