An intents-based approach for service discovery and integration

Service discovery and integration has been a very active research field attracting many researchers around the world. Current technologies in service discovery like WSDL and UDDI have deficiencies which prevent their wide applications, especially outside of enterprise areas. Intents is an emerging technology aimed at interconnecting various services. Unlike its counterparts, services in Intents are single topic and given more informative descriptions. This paper examines the essentials of service discovery and integration applied in Intents, presents an architecture of Intents-based systems, and discusses the advantages of Intents over other existing technologies.
