According to an exemplary embodiment, a method for brokering between devices and network services provides a platform for brokering between at least one device and at least one service group, and uses a brokering service module on the service platform to execute: using a computing device to compute a correlation between a thing and another thing, thereby computing a correlation between a thing and a service group of the at least one service group; for a service group of the at least one service group, using the computing device to compute the correlation between each of at least one thing and a service group of the at least one service group; for a device corresponding to the thing, brokering one or more service groups; and for a service group of the at least one service group, brokering one or more devices corresponding to one or more things.
