A New Agent Based Service Discovery Mechanism*

the intention of utilizine ABSDM substitute UDDI in the Abstract- The efficiency of the services discovery in Intemet is attracting increasing aitention. To compare with popular services discovery mechanism (UDDI mainb), we propose an agent-based services discovery mechanism in Iniemei (ABSDM). In this mechanism, we suppose that services information documents are stored in distributed servers, and servers are regarded as independent agents. So a searching-tree creating algorithm (STCA) could be used to join servers into a tree siructure; Based on this siructure, a recursive searching algorithm could be used to distribute searching request over the whole tree. During above-mentioned process, searching request could be parallel dealt with. Furthermore, searching efficiency of UDDI and ABSDM is evaluated and compared theoretically
