Competition

Competition

When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

Network Covalent Solids

Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Engineering
Game Theory

Background:

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing communication paradigm.
IoT markets involve Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Service Providers (SPs), and end users.
Understanding market dynamics and competition among SPs is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To model and analyze the competitive strategies of two SPs in an IoT market.
To investigate user decision-making based on price and service quality.
To determine market equilibrium under different competitive scenarios.

Main Methods:

A two-stage Stackelberg game model was developed.
Two price-competition scenarios were analyzed: Noncooperative Strategic Game (NSG) and Stackelberg Game (SG).
User choice behavior was modeled based on service prices and rates.

Main Results:

Equilibrium was achieved in both NSG and SG scenarios.
The study provides insights into SP pricing strategies and user adoption.
Numerical results validated the theoretical findings.

Conclusions:

The game-theoretic approach effectively models IoT market competition.
Understanding these dynamics is key for optimizing SP strategies and user satisfaction.
This research contributes to the academic and engineering understanding of IoT markets.
