Abstract
In this paper we present the experimentally validated discovery methods of our ldquoNexusrdquo framework for use in home networks. These methods allow ldquoclientrdquo software applications to dynamically search and access an entire set of distributed software resources in a home network in close to real time. The novelty of this framework is two-fold; first, no prior knowledge of the network is required by the client application. Secondly, the network itself does not need to actively maintain state by using servers/registries/caches.
