PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To discover one or more services that can be used by a user on a network by using a client device in a network system. SOLUTION: A controller (10) has a service discoverer (12) that discovers services at locations on the network (N), and a task manager (14) that controls the carrying out of tasks using services discovered by the service discoverer (12). The controller (10) also has a service publisher (13) that, as a result of the discovery of a service by the service discoverer (12) makes that service discoverable by other controllers (10) connected to the network, thereby allowing those other controllers to discover and access that service or services via that controller.
