This paper introduces an architectural approach to service access in an environment where no established infrastucture at any level exists. Mobile clients invoke services by their descriptive names and a temporary multihop network is dynamically formed between the client and the host offering a service instance. The proposed protocol stack supports dynamically optimized routing to named services. The elements of the architecture for adapting clients and services to a highly varying topology are explained and the algorithms are given in pseudo code like notation using a service model specified in XML.
