"The Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm that allows the interconnection of devices, which are equipped with electronic sensors and actuators. There is a plethora of resources, at each stage of the IoT ecosystem, which need to be managed effectively to cater for the demands of potentially mission-critical (MC) applications. Service requests often appear randomly over time and space with varying intensity. Resource provisioning decisions need to be made strategically in real-time, particularly when there is incomplete information about the time, location, and intensity of future requests. Resource management has traditionally been focused on dealing with objectives such as efficiency, capacity, throughput, etc., in mind. However, often the underlying incentives and economic aspects have been ignored"-- Provided by publisher.
