  abstract = {One of the core functionalities needed in ad-hoc peer-to-peer
             networks is service discovery. However, none of the existing
             solutions for service discovery work well in these dynamic,
             decentralized environments. Therefore, in this paper, we propose
             a new approach to service discovery which is based on the dynamic
             organization of the services into multilayer clusters. These
             clusters are formed based on both physical and semantic
             proximity.}
