TL;DR: The results show that software services in central positions (i.e., high betweenness centrality) attract users the most, and the highest effect exhibits, if the time lag is 26–32 months.

TL;DR: This work argues that the limited utilization of the Sensing as a Service business model is caused by the economic and technological characteristics of sensor data, and the corresponding absence of applicable digital rights management models.
Abstract: The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has become a valuable data source for products and services based on advanced data analytics. However, evidence suggests that industries are suffering a significant loss of value creation from insufficient IIoT data sharing. We argue that the limited utilization of the Sensing as a Service business model is caused by the economic and technological characteristics of sensor data, and the corresponding absence of applicable digital rights management models. Therefore, we propose a property rights enforcement and pricing model by utilizing digital watermarking in combination with product versioning to address the IIoT data sharing incentive problem.

TL;DR: The architecture and federation business logic specification include components, a federation SLA management framework, and revenue sharing mechanisms that can encourage cloud providers to join in and be benefitted from the federation, thereby contributing to moving cloud computing to the next level.
Abstract: Cloud federations have been seen as a possible solution for the volatility in the number of user requests and for the anti-competitive externalities of the economies of scale in the cloud service sector. In order for a federation to exist in the commercial market, an efficient mechanism for resource and revenue sharing is of paramount importance. In this paper, we design the architecture and specify the business logic for the dynamic operation of such federation platforms. The architecture and federation business logic specification include components, a federation SLA management framework, and revenue sharing mechanisms. It can also offer appropriate incentives to cloud providers for joining a federation. With such dynamism in the platform, cloud providers have the ability to automatically form and dissolve federations, to maintain resource compatibility, and to self-adapt to policies for managing contractual and economic relationships between federation members. This helps in streamlining the overall business process without being dependent on existing business relationships between service providers, between service providers of a federation, and between service providers and customers. This can encourage cloud providers to join in and be benefitted from the federation, thereby contributing to moving cloud computing to the next level.
