Abstract
In recent years, one type of complex network called the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) has attracted the attention of researchers. Controllability is one of the important problems in complex networks and it has essential applications in social, biological, and technical networks. Applying this problem can also play an important role in the control of social smart cities, but it has not yet been defined as a specific problem on SIoT, and no solution has been provided for it. This paper addresses the controllability problem of the temporal SIoT network. In this regard, first, a definition for the temporal SIoT network is provided. Then, the unique relationships of this network are defined and modeled formally. In the following, the Controllability problem is applied to the temporal SIoT network (CSIoT) to identify the Minimum Driver nodes Set (MDS). Then proposed CSIoT is compared with the state-of-the-art methods for performance analysis. In the obtained results, the heterogeneity (different types, brands, and models) has been investigated. Also, 69.80 % of the SIoT sub-graphs nodes have been identified as critical driver nodes in 152 different sets. The proposed controllability deals with network control in a distributed manner.
期刊介绍:
As envisioned by Mark Weiser as early as 1991, pervasive computing systems and services have truly become integral parts of our daily lives. Tremendous developments in a multitude of technologies ranging from personalized and embedded smart devices (e.g., smartphones, sensors, wearables, IoTs, etc.) to ubiquitous connectivity, via a variety of wireless mobile communications and cognitive networking infrastructures, to advanced computing techniques (including edge, fog and cloud) and user-friendly middleware services and platforms have significantly contributed to the unprecedented advances in pervasive and mobile computing. Cutting-edge applications and paradigms have evolved, such as cyber-physical systems and smart environments (e.g., smart city, smart energy, smart transportation, smart healthcare, etc.) that also involve human in the loop through social interactions and participatory and/or mobile crowd sensing, for example. The goal of pervasive computing systems is to improve human experience and quality of life, without explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies.
The Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (PMC) is a high-impact, peer-reviewed technical journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles spanning theory and practice, and covering all aspects of pervasive and mobile computing and systems.
