Abstract
With the growing popularity of Internet-enabled devices, the impressive progress in sensing technology, and the adoption of cloud computing for provisioning services, users increasingly demand services that can adapt to their recent context. In this paper, we propose a multi-attributes and adaptive approach for Context Level Agreements (CLAs) negotiation between a context provider and a context consumer using a context broker. The approach employs a Nash bargaining model and evaluates the global utility of each party as a linear function of normalized Quality of Context (QoC) attributes during the rounds of negotiation. The ultimate goal is to improve context-based adaptation of context-aware applications and services. One of the advantages of this approach is that it permits to resolve conflicts of interests between the context provider and the context consumer when the global utility of each party reaches a Pareto optimum.
