As the digital marketplace evolves, the ability to dynamically adjust or disable features and services in response to market demands and pricing strategies becomes increasingly crucial for maintaining competitive advantage and enhancing…
The SaaS paradigm has popularized the usage of pricings, allowing providers to offer customers a wide range of subscription possibilities. This creates a vast configuration space for users, enabling them to choose the features and support…
User behavior in the real world is diverse, cross-domain, and spans long time horizons. Existing user modeling benchmarks however remain narrow, focusing mainly on short sessions and next-item prediction within a single domain. Such…
As the Software as a Service (SaaS) paradigm continues to reshape the software industry, a nuanced understanding of its operational dynamics becomes increasingly crucial. This paper delves into the intricate relationship between pricing…
Software as a Service (SaaS) pricing models, encompassing features, usage limits, plans, and add-ons, have grown exponentially in complexity, evolving from offering tens to thousands of configuration options. This rapid expansion poses…
The Software as a Service (SaaS) model is a distribution and licensing model that leverages pricing structures and subscriptions to profit. The utilization of such structures allows Information Systems (IS) to meet a diverse range of client…
A submarine's sonar team is responsible for detecting, localising and classifying targets using information provided by the platform's sensor suite. The information used to make these assessments is typically uncertain and/or incomplete and…
Deploying applications across the computing continuum requires selecting infrastructure nodes from geographically distributed and heterogeneous environments while satisfying constraints (e.g., performance, location). This decision problem…
Due to dynamic nature of current software development methods, changes in requirements are embraced and given proper consideration. However, this triggers the rank reversal problem which involves re-prioritizing requirements based on…
Dynamic pricing is commonly used to regulate congestion in shared service systems. This paper is motivated by the fact that in the presence of users with varying price sensitivity (responsiveness), conventional monotonic pricing can lead to…
As Systems of Systems evolve into increasingly complex networks, harnessing their collective potential becomes paramount. Traditional SoS engineering approaches lack the necessary programmability to develop third party SoS level behaviors.…
As more and more users begin to use the cloud for their computing needs, datacenter operators are increasingly pressed to effectively allocate their resources among these client users. Yet while much work has been done in this area,…
Recent scholarly work has extensively examined the phenomenon of algorithmic collusion driven by AI-enabled pricing algorithms. However, online platforms commonly deploy recommender systems that influence how consumers discover and purchase…
Coupon distribution is a critical marketing strategy used by online platforms to boost revenue and enhance user engagement. Regrettably, existing coupon distribution strategies fall far short of effectively leveraging the complex sequential…
In real-world classification settings, such as loan application evaluation or content moderation on online platforms, individuals respond to classifier predictions by strategically updating their features to increase their likelihood of…
Feature toggles and configuration options are modern programmatic techniques to easily include or exclude functionality in a software product. The research contributions to these two techniques have most often been focused on either one of…
The increasing need for rapid recalibration of option pricing models in dynamic markets places stringent computational demands on data generation and valuation algorithms. In this work, we propose a hybrid algorithmic framework that…
In recent years, there have been unprecedented technological advances in sensor technology, and sensors have become more affordable than ever. Thus, sensor-driven data collection is increasingly becoming an attractive and practical option…
Mobile crowdsensing is a people-centric sensing system based on users' contributions and incentive mechanisms aim at stimulating them. In our work, we have rethought the design of incentive mechanisms through a game-theoretic methodology.…
In the service landscape, the issues of service selection, negotiation of Service Level Agreements (SLA), and SLA-compliance monitoring have typically been used in separate and disparate ways, which affect the quality of the services that…
