heal.abstract	This paper presents a middleware platform for managing devices that operate in heterogeneous environments. The proposed management framework supports terminal-controlled, preference-based access network selection. Two separate problems are identified in this domain: one involving the computation of optimal allocations of services to access networks and quality levels (service configuration), and one concerning the dynamic inference of the user's preferences, according to the usage context (user profiling). This paper includes an approach to the definition, mathematical formulation and solution of both these problems. Indicative results of the proposed solution methods are presented in the context of a real-life scenario simulating a day in the life of an ordinary user. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.	en
