Sažetak
The main goals of Internet service providers are to maximize profit and maintain a negotiated quality of service. However, achieving these objectives could become very complex if we know that Internet service users might during the session become highly dynamic and proactive. This connotes changes in user profile or network provider/s profile caused by high level of user mobility or variable level of user demands. This paper proposes a new pricing architecture for serving the highly dynamic customers in context of dynamic user/network environment. The most convenient concept that could comprise highly adaptive and proactive architecture is agent based architecture. The proposed agent based architecture places in context some basic parameters that will enable objective and transparent assessment of the costs for the service those Internet users receive while dynamically change QoS demands and cost profile.
