<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, a method and a related data structure that discover and describe computing resources available at various computing devices, and expose such resources as services addressable by software applications. <P>SOLUTION: Data describing such resources are arranged according to an identity-based schema. The computing resources may include, for example, storage capacity, bandwidth, processing power, input methods and mechanism, and rendering methods. The method and system are identity-based, whereby a user (with an identity) has access to distributed resources commensurate with the identity. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
