Abstract

This paper uses concepts taken from Cooperative Game Theory to model the incentives to join forces among a group of agents involved in collaborative provision of a mobile app under uncertainty around an open source platform. Demand uncertainty leads the agents to reach a noncooperative equilibrium by offering low quality apps. This can be avoided by introducing a coordination scheme through a common platform that eliminates the effects of lack of information. Coordination is achieved by providing a revenue sharing scheme enforcing the stability of the collaboration but also defined in a “fair” way, depending on the importance of the resources that each provider supplies to the app. To this aim, we introduce the concept of Stochastic Provision Games. This coordination leads both to higher app quality and improved profitability for the participants.

用随机供应博弈模拟不确定情况下围绕开源平台提供的协作数据服务
本文利用合作博弈论的概念,模拟了在开源平台不确定的情况下,参与合作提供移动应用程序的一组代理之间联合的激励机制。需求的不确定性导致代理商通过提供低质量的应用程序达到非合作均衡。通过共同平台引入协调方案,消除信息匮乏的影响,就可以避免这种情况。实现协调的方法是提供一个收入共享方案,该方案不仅能确保合作的稳定性,还能根据每个供应商为应用程序提供的资源的重要性,以 "公平 "的方式进行定义。为此,我们引入了"...... "的概念。 这种协调既提高了应用程序的质量,也改善了参与者的盈利能力。

期刊介绍: Omega reports on developments in management, including the latest research results and applications. Original contributions and review articles describe the state of the art in specific fields or functions of management, while there are shorter critical assessments of particular management techniques. Other features of the journal are the "Memoranda" section for short communications and "Feedback", a correspondence column. Omega is both stimulating reading and an important source for practising managers, specialists in management services, operational research workers and management scientists, management consultants, academics, students and research personnel throughout the world. The material published is of high quality and relevance, written in a manner which makes it accessible to all of this wide-ranging readership. Preference will be given to papers with implications to the practice of management. Submissions of purely theoretical papers are discouraged. The review of material for publication in the journal reflects this aim.
