1. A system comprising:
- a collection of clients that receive services;
a client/server broker configured to register application services that have a first application programming interface and identify the registered application services to the clients;
a first application service that has the first application programming interface and is configured to publish an announcement of an availability of the first application service;
a second application service that has a second application programming interface and is configured to publish an announcement of an availability of the second application service; and
a bridge configured to wrap the announcement of the availability of the second application service in a wrapper that is compliant with the first application programming interface so that the client/server broker can register both the first application service and the second application service.
