Web Services have started to appear on servers as
interfaces between business-to-business applications. To
date, mobile devices have only consumed Web Services
running on stationary servers. We expand this notion so
that mobile devices can both offer and consume Web
Services. We discuss some interesting classes of
applications that can be enabled when mobile devices can
host Web Services. This can be a powerful model for
facilitating automatic interaction between resource-constrained
mobile devices, time starved users, and
pervasive infrastructure. We also explore the issues that
arise due to mobility of devices hosting Web Services,
such as service discovery, device disambiguation,
software footprint, and security requirements. To explore
this paradigm and to gain an understanding of these
issues, we have implemented a retail shopping scenario
where a mobile device offers wallet services to an
electronic check-out kiosk. This demonstration is now
housed at the IBM Industry Solutions Lab and has been
operational for several months.
