“…A general classification was adopted by Balakrishnan and Sangaiah (2015) who provided an overview of various service discovery approaches available in the literature and proposes aspect oriented middleware framework for IoT to incorporate the dynamic reconfiguration capability to properly adapt to the continuous changes in the environment and situation aware services to provide user support. However, Abdellatif et al (2018) classified the service discovery approaches based on their architecture, mode of operation, search method, search scope, description type and their dependency to internet protocols.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to address the Internet of Things (IoT) service discovery problem and investigate the existing solutions to tackle this problem in many aspects. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents an overview of IoT services aiming at providing a clear understanding about their features because this term is still ambiguous for the IoT service discovery approaches. Besides, a full comparison study of the most representative service discovery approaches in the literature is presented over four perspectives: the IoT information model, the mechanism of IoT service discovery, the adopted architecture and the context awareness. These perspectives allow classifying, comparing and giving a deeper understanding of the existing IoT service discovery solutions. Findings This paper presents a new definition and a new classification of IoT services and citation of their features comparing with the traditional Web services. This paper discusses the existing solutions, as well as the main challenges, that face the service discovery issue in the IoT domain. Besides, two classifications of the approaches are adopted on the basis of their service description model and their mechanism of discovery, and a set of requirements that need to be considered when defining an IoT service are proposed. Originality/value There are few number works that survey the service discovery approaches in the IoT domain, but none of these surveys discuss the service description models in the IoT or the impact of the context awareness aspect in the service discovery solution. There are also few works that give a comprehensive overview of IoT services to understand their nature to facilitate their description and discovery. This paper fills this gap by performing a full comparison study of multi-category and recent approaches for service discovery in the IoT over many aspects and also by performing a comprehensive study of the IoT service features.

A critical requirement in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is its ability to automatically discover existing services as well as their locations. Several solutions have been proposed in various communication domains which could be classified into two categories: (1) directory based, and (2) directory-less. The former is efficient but suffers from the amount of control messages being exchanged to maintain all directories in an agile environment. However, the latter approach attempts to reduce the amount of control messages to update directories, by simply sending broadcast messages to discover services; which is also a non-desirable approach in MANETs. This research work builds on top of our prior work (Nazeeruddin et al. in IFIP/IEEE international conference on management of multimedia networks and services, Springer, Berlin, 2006)) where we introduced a new efficient protocol for service discovery in MANETs (MSLD); a lightweight, robust, scalable, and flexible protocol which supports node heterogeneity and dynamically adapts to network changes while not flooding the network with extra protocol messages—a major challenge in today’s network environments, such as Internet of Things (IoT). Extensive simulations study was conducted on MSLD to: (1) initially evaluate its performance in terms of latency, service availability, and overhead messages, then (2) compare its performance to Dir-Based, Dir-less, and PDP protocols under various network conditions. For most performance metrics, simulation results show that MSLD outperforms Dir-Based, Dir-less, and PDP by either matching or achieving high service availability, low service discovery latency, and considerably less communication overhead.

<span lang="EN-US">Internet of things (IoT) represents one of the main data-producing fields on the Internet, given the diversity and growth of smart objects around the world. The advancement of IoT paradigm and the variety of IoT special characteristics present major challenges for IoT search, which attract a great importance by industrials and researchers. Until now, a good deal of research has been focused on the development and implementation of IoT search solutions and tools, though there are still many issues, which must be studied and solved. This paper is interested to IoT search issue and tries to give a guideline to researchers interested in this issue as well as the proposal of a new general architecture for internet of things search engines. The article presents the concept of IoT search engines, a study of various existing solutions and the proposal of a new architecture which is based on 3 components and which respects the various requirements of IoT search engines. The results of this work are prominent as well as they will help researchers to identify future research directions.</span>
