Abstract


Pervasive Advertising stands out from other forms of ad-serving by using contextual information of consumers, delivering only the most appropriate ads to a given situation. However, it is necessary to find out an equilibrium between the interests of both consumers and advertisers. In this paper, we present a multiagent solution to reach this equilibrium and provide a context aware ad-serving. Experiments show that the solution is efficient in finding this balance.
