Abstract
An approach for providing service workflows through devices includes a service server determining that a service is available for a particular device. In response to determining that the service is available for the particular device, the service server obtains, from the particular device, service information that specifies, for the service, at least one or more processes that implement the service on the particular device, one or more parameters for the one or more processes and one or more user interfaces for the one or more processes. The service server generates, based upon the service information, a service application that implements the service. The service server receives, from a client device, a request to use the service for the particular device and in response, the service server provides to the client device the service application that implements the service.
