A Quality of Service Management Framework Based on User Expectations
TL;DR: This paper proposes a quality of service management framework based on user expectations, which collects expectations as well as ratings from the users of a service, then calculates the quality of the service only at the time a request for the service is made and only using the ratings that have similar expectations.
