Ambient networks refer to a new networking concept for beyond 3G. They use automatic network composition to enable dynamic and instantaneous inter- working between heterogeneous networks on demand. Ambient networks can host several registries (e.g. management information bases, context information bases). When they autonomously compose, the hosted registries have to follow suit and compose. This paper focuses on the issues related to the autonomous composition of registries when ambient networks compose. We identify a set of requirements and propose a general architecture for autonomic composition. We also discuss cursorily information discovery after composition.
