Abstract:Contract agreement is a critical topic of service provisioning. The complex interactions that take place between customers and service providers are diffil-cult to model with traditional mathematical tools. In this paper, we introduce an approach based on fuzzy logic to represent customers' needs and providers' offers. Also, we develop two models of agreement based on fuzzy similarity and weighted transducers. Finally, we apply our approach to a case study of a telephony service over a wireless local area network.
