An Agent-Based Model of Task-Allocation and Resource-Sharing for Social Internet of Things

The things in the Internet of Things are becoming more and socially aware. What social means for these (more often termed as “social objects”) is predominately determined by how when objects interact with each other. In this paper, an agent-based model Social proposed, which features realization various interaction modalities, along possible network structures mobility modes, thus providing a novel to ask interesting “what-if” questions. scenario used, acquisition shared resources common spatial temporal world, demands agents have ad-hoc communication willingness cooperate others. was simulated all combinations input parameters study implications competitive vs. cooperative behavior while try acquire resources/services peer-to-peer fashion. However, main focus paper analyze impact profile-based mobility, has underpinning on extent scale profile. simulation results, addition others, reveal that there substantial systematic differences among different values scale.
