Abstract

In this paper, we discuss service classification characteristics, usable in service selection in ad hoc environment. We present several characteristics that we have identified to be useful when selecting the most suitable services or performing handovers between different service providers. The objective of this study is to provide information for automatic service filtering and selection process. We have identified characteristics that are specific to services, users, devices and network technologies. Service selection process in a general form is described.
