    Abstract: A method for managing an automated service level agreement (SLA) negotiation between two providers (400a, 400b) belonging to different network domains, an initiating SLA negotiation manager (401a), a terminating SLA negotiation manager (401b), and a system for managing the negotiation. A negotiation is executed between two request handlers (40a, 402b) of the respective SLA negotiation managers. The request handler of the terminating SLA negotiation handler manages a policy checking procedure by interrogating an associated Policy Decision Point (PDP, 407) associated with the terminating SLA negotiation handler, via a resource handler (406b). A new or updated SLA, resulting from a successful negotiation is stored in an SLA database (SLA DB, 405a, 405), in the initiating, as well as in the terminating SLA negotiation manager.

    Abstract: A method and system in a heterogeneous environment, capable of locating at least one optimal access area or point for supporting one or more access technologies requested by the user. The determination of the optimal access areas or points is based in part on the location of the device, the specified user preferences, service/application requirements and the capabilities of available access network connections. The optimal access points, and alternative options, are mapped in accordance with the resulting location, combined requirements and service/application requirements of the communication device. This mapping and other information/recommendations related to the access points are then provided to the communication device for action by the user.
