Abstract
Users preferences heterogeneity in distributed systems often forces resources suppliers to offer customizable-resources in order to fulfill different customer needs. We present in this paper a Feature Logic based approach to customizable-resources description, selection, and composition. In our approach, resources and requests are both specified in a logical framework by feature terms. The feature terms unification technique allows reasoning on these specifications in order to select and possibly compose the resources that are candidate to satisfy a client request.
