This book establishes game-theoretical frameworks based on the mechanism design theory and proposes strategy-proof algorithms, to optimally allocate and price the related IoT services, so that the social welfare of IoT ecosystem or the service providers revenue can be maximized and the IoT service provision can be sustainable. This book is written by experts based on the recent research results on the interaction between the service providers and users in the IoT system. Since the IoT networks are essentially supported by data, communication, and computing resources, the book focuses on three representative IoT services, including the data analytics services, the cloud/fog computing services for blockchain networks, and the wireless powered data crowdsourcing services. Researchers, scientists, and engineers in the field of resource allocation and service management for future IoT ecosystem can benefit from the book. As such, this book provides valuable insights and practical methods,especially the novel deep learning-based mechanism that can be considered in the emerging IoT technology.
