Abstract:

In this paper, the problem of provisioning high quality of Sensors-as-a-Service (Se-aaS) in the presence of competitive sensor-owners, i.e., oligopolistic market, and heterogeneous sensor nodes in service-oriented sensor-cloud is studied. Oligopolistic sensor-owners adopt unfair means to degrade the quality of service provided by other sensor-owners in the sensor-cloud market. In order to address this problem, a dynamic pricing scheme, named DETER, is proposed in this work to enforce trust among the sensor-owners for maintaining the quality of Se-aaS provided by the Sensor-Cloud Service Provider (SCSP). Each sensor node calculates distributed trust opinion for other nodes, while the SCSP calculates centralized trust opinion for each sensor-owner. A Single-Leader-Multiple-Follower Stackelberg Game is formulated in which the SCSP acts as the leader and decides price to be paid to each sensor-owner, while ensuring maximum profit. On the other hand, the sensor-owners act as the followers and decide their strategies for earning maximum profit. Thereby, using DETER, SCSP enforces high trust among the sensor-owners. Additionally, using DETER, energy consumption of sensor nodes in sensor-cloud decreases by 4.69-11.56 percent, and network overhead decreases by 52.6-56.53 percent. The trade-off between price earned by the sensor-owners and profit of the SCSP in service-oriented sensor-cloud is also maintained using DETER.
