Abstract
Automatically finding and using network services. An extensible framework is defined which allows any network service, new or old, to be defined. A base schema is defined that defines existing network services, and extension schemes may also be defined which are specific to new network services. A vendor can define the schemas in XML, as well as using software plug-ins and configuration data. The information is stored on a network provider's server. Clients can browse the network providers server for available services. Any available services can be accepted. When this happens, a form is provided to the client; the client fills out the form; and returns it. The information on the form is associated with the XML schemas and used to select and automatically configure the network service.
