Software services distributed in open wireless environments are implemented using different middleware types and advertised using different discovery protocols. Client application needs to adopt a flexible approach to discover and bind these services. Compared with other related work, this paper presents a new reflective coordination middleware based on mobile agent. It dynamically adapts both its binding and discovery protocol to allow interoperation with heterogeneous services by uploading
