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 different functional components. By dynamically creating subagents at run time, it can interoperate with multiple services in parallel. As a result, the client burden is released, and the efficiency of the coordination process is enhanced.
