Abstract :
Quality of Service (QoS) management in home networks becomes a complex function when dealing with dynamic evolution of user requirements and network services. Autonomous management of QoS asks for decision models able to incorporate this evolving nature of requirements and services. In this paper, we propose an extensible framework that integrates a semantic space for user requirements and preferences aimed at guiding an autonomous QoS decision model. The use of this framework is illustrated in the context of QoS management in home networks.
