`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Methods and systemsare provided that facilitate access to a
`service via a lookup service. A lookup service defines a
`network’s directory of services and stores references to these
`services. A client desiring use of a service on the network
`accesses the lookup service, which returns the stub infor-
`mation that facilitates the user’s access of the service. The
`client uses the stub information to access the service.
