Colored Petri Nets for Modeling of Discrete Systems: A Practical Approach With GPenSIM (Asset Analytics)
by Reggie DavidrajuhThis book offers a practical approach to modeling real-world discrete systems and performing analysis. The theory behind the book is the Colored Petri nets, and the tool used for simulations is general-purpose Petri net simulator (GPenSIM). The theory part is kept to a minimum, and more explanation is given to the GPenSIM functions and how they can be used for modeling, simulation, and performance analysis. Real-world industrial systems possess a large number of resources. Modeling these systems with Petri nets would become a problem as they result in huge Petri net models. This book offers a unique solution to this problem by moving resources away from the Petri net model and treating them as variables in the background. Also, the theory and practice put forward in the book help cost estimation of the systems (e.g., manufacturing subsystems).

Incentive Mechanism for Mobile Crowdsensing: A Game-theoretic Approach (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Youqi Li Fan Li Song Yang Chuan ZhangMobile crowdsensing (MCS) is emerging as a novel sensing paradigm in the Internet of Things (IoTs) due to the proliferation of smart devices (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices) in people’s daily lives. These ubiquitous devices provide an opportunity to harness the wisdom of crowds by recruiting mobile users to collectively perform sensing tasks, which largely collect data about a wide range of human activities and the surrounding environment. However, users suffer from resource consumption such as battery, processing power, and storage, which discourages users’ participation. To ensure the participation rate, it is necessary to employ an incentive mechanism to compensate users’ costs such that users are willing to take part in crowdsensing. This book sheds light on the design of incentive mechanisms for MCS in the context of game theory. Particularly, this book presents several game-theoretic models for MCS in different scenarios. In Chapter 1, the authors present an overview of MCS and state the significance of incentive mechanism for MCS. Then, in Chapter 2, 3, 4, and 5, the authors propose a long-term incentive mechanism, a fair incentive mechanism, a collaborative incentive mechanism, and a coopetition-aware incentive mechanism for MCS, respectively. Finally, Chapter 6 summarizes this book and point out the future directions. This book is of particular interest to the readers and researchers in the field of IoT research, especially in the interdisciplinary field of network economics and IoT.
