An IoT-Cloud system mainly consists of a set of smart objects which are interconnected through the Internet with a remote Cloud infrastructure, platform, or software. It allows to achieve new benefits in several contexts, such as smart cities and industrial businesses. In this paper we propose a context-aware strategy focused on the correct use of the IoT-Cloud services. In particular, a use case driven scenario and a three-step algorithm to define the strategy are presented and discussed. {\^A}{\textcopyright} 2017 IEEE.}, isbn = {9781509065172} pages = {1{\textendash}6}, doi = {10.1109/SMARTCOMP.2017.7946976} }
