In the field of Internet of Things understanding need of applications and translating them to network parameters and protocol parameters is a major challenge. This disclosure addresses problem of enabling network services by cognitive sense-analyze-decide-respond framework. A processor implemented method is provided for enabling network aware applications and applications aware networks by a sense analyze decide respond (SADR) framework. The processor implemented method includes sensing, at least one application parameter and at least one network parameter to obtain a plurality of sensed information; analyzing, the plurality of sensed information is filtered and synchronized to generate a plurality of derived parameters; determining, a plurality of rules based on the plurality of derived parameters; validating, the plurality of rules for a plurality of scenarios to obtain plurality of decisions; and enabling, at least one of (i) network, (ii) application and (iii) protocol control based on the plurality of decisions.
