This work was done within the A2NETS project funded by the ITEA 2 program, a strategic pan\u2010European program for advanced pre\u2010competitive research and development (R&amp;D). A2NETS aims at developing a set of common services for M2M devices communicating within heterogeneous networks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The originality of this paper is the study of the QoS benefits induced by the implementation of the \u201cpartial reliability\u201d concept in MPTCP for interactive video applications based on the codec H.264. The second contribution of the paper is that it deals with the decision process that has to be enforced to provide such an adaptable MPTCP with self\u2010autonomic capabilities. Towards this goal, a semantic ontology\u2010based model has been proposed allowing to classify and to define clearly the semantic of the different QoS\u2010oriented mechanisms that have been proposed for MPTCP. This ontology is aimed at being used by the autonomic manager during the decision process step.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/17427371211283001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,22]],"date-time":"2012-11-22T05:17:59Z","timestamp":1353561479000},"page":"306-328","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["QoS\u2010aware and autonomic\u2010oriented multi\u2010path TCP extensions for mobile and multimedia applications"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Cod\u00e9","family":"Diop","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Dugu\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Christophe","family":"Chassot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ernesto","family":"Exposito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Gomez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022020920092625300_b36","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Adhari, H., Dreibholz, T., Becke, M., Rathgeb, E.P. and T\u00fcxen, M.
