The most important issue in ubiquitous networks is to provide an efficient framework where services can be defined, managed and usage controlled. This work proposes a policy based management architecture as well as a new service discovery protocol called COPS-SD which provides the necessary functional components to deploy and control ubiquitous services in the IT world.
