	Abstract:	In recent years, Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) has emerged as a great new trend in software engineering. At the same time that SOC was attaining its space within both academia and industry, there was a growth in the supply and use of mobile and embedded devices. These devices are the key pieces for accomplishing the vision of ubiquitous/pervasive computing. One of the challenges for realising this vision consists in making heterogeneous devices to dynamically find each other in order to exchange data and advertise/consume services. In this context, SOC actually stands out as the better bullet for accomplishing this need, but at the cost of a number of other issues that system architects need to deal with. In this article, a set of issues related to the integration of mobile devices and SOC in the context of smart spaces is surveyed.
