Generally you will integrate with SLP by having your applications announce that they are running by registering a protocol+address with the SLP daemon on your machine. Other computers on the same local network can query for named service types via broadcast or ask your machine directly.
SLP registrations have a lifetime or SLP after whcih they will be de-registered (so you may want to periodically update your registration entry). Alternativly openslp can be told to automatically de-register services when the processes that advertised them terminates. In your case, you could publish the services as 'myservice://hostname:port' and perhaps also make use of SLP attributes to advertise different versions.
