Abstract
In order to assure that services in an network and applications or users in the network are able to communicate and interact with one another a framework is provided that registers the service. The service provides the necessary information, in particular configuration files that are processed by the framework. The framework directly interfaces to a user by way of application or applications used by the users. An interface is established between the application and the framework allowing the user to indirectly communicate to the service by way of the framework. This allows the interface to the service and to the application to be handled by the framework.
