Abstract

This paper presents a new negotiation approach integrating a similarity-based metric to measure the client’s satisfaction level by quantifying the correspondence between the features required by the client and the ones proposed by the service. This negotiation process is integrated within an adaptation platform for multimedia presentations supporting different types of terminals. The negotiation and adaptation processes are based on the management of user’s and service’s profiles. We also propose an extension of the SIP protocol to ensure the communication between the client and the server by defining new functionalities.

The states codes and their extensions

The answers codes are based on the six types of answers and can be spread easily because few codes are defined. It is necessary that the applications determine the class (x) of an answer code that is indicated by the first digit. Here are the answers codes listed in the following chart. The answers of status code 107 to 124 (in bold) represent our extension of the SIP protocol in the application.
