Abstract

A conceptual framework that supports configuration of service bundles and automatic provision of services from these bundles according to the consumer context is proposed. The framework adheres the idea of ontology-based product configuration where service bundles play the role of products. Service bundle is defined as a group of related customized services that are provided selectively in context-aware way on terms favorable to the consumer. Smart contracts regulate service provisioning/consumption. These contracts are represented in terms of the product/service ontology using SWRL-rules. The use case from the Internet services domain demonstrates the main ideas behind the framework.
