Combinatorial auctions offer a natural modeling framework; however, exact winner determination is computationally intractable, and coupling heuristic allocations with Vickrey–Clarke–Groves (VCG) payments undermines incentive compatibility. To address these challenges, this paper develops a hierarchical greedy combinatorial auction (HG-CA) mechanism. The allocation problem is formulated as a binary integer program that captures cross-layer resource dependencies and is efficiently approximated via a hierarchy-aware greedy allocation rule. The mechanism further integrates structured bid generation, capacity-normalized allocation, and a critical-value payment scheme that secures bid-level truthfulness without requiring an optimal allocation. We prove that the proposed mechanism is dominant-strategy incentive-compatible at the bid level and individually rational, and we delimit this guarantee from the stronger tenant-level notion, which is characterized empirically. Simulation results show that HG-CA achieves empirically near-optimal social welfare with strong scalability, while significantly improving fairness and provider revenue over heuristic VCG-based benchmarks. These results demonstrate its effectiveness for large-scale multi-resource allocation in network slicing systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100702,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intelligent Networks","volume":"7 ","pages":"Pages 121-134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149051094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current research on Edge Server Placement (ESP) predominantly focuses on localized optimization of QoS metrics, yet fails to adequately incorporate systematic QoE modeling and coordinated optimization frameworks, leading to significant discrepancies between actual user experience and satisfaction with resource allocation. To address this gap, this study establishes a formalized QoE-aware Edge Server Placement (EESP) framework by rigorously characterizing the interdependence between QoE and QoS. We first prove the NP-completeness of the EESP problem through computational complexity analysis. Subsequently, we develop an Integer Linear Programming-based exact solver (EESP-O) for small-scale scenarios and propose an Enhanced Genetic Algorithm (EESP-EGA) for large-scale deployments.

Firstly, in response to the risk of data leakage in distributed storage scenarios, a threshold-based encryption algorithm is designed, utilizing a distributed key protection mechanism to effectively prevent single-point failures and data breaches. Secondly, a smart contract system is developed: the ERC721 contract is used to confirm the ownership of data assets, the ERC20 contract facilitates the transfer of usage rights, and the threshold decryption contract ensures secure multi-party computation and compliant incentive distribution. The collaboration of these three types of contracts enables comprehensive on-chain management of data assets, covering the entire process from ownership confirmation and circulation to compliant usage. In addition, this paper integrates non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs into the multi-party interaction process, allowing public verification of data consistency and computational validity on the blockchain. Finally, experiments are conducted to evaluate the impact of computation latency, communication overhead, and encryption parameters on system performance.

In recommendation systems, for example, the model can enhance personalized suggestions by better understanding user-item relationships, especially when the relationships are hierarchical, such as in the case of user preferences across different product categories. Existing KGE models mostly learn embeddings in Euclidean space, which perform well in high-dimensional settings. However, in low-dimensional scenarios, these models struggle to accurately capture the hierarchical information of relationships in knowledge graphs (KG), a limitation that can adversely affect the performance of intelligent network systems where structured knowledge is critical for decision making and operational efficiency. Recently, the MuRP model was proposed, introducing the use of hyperbolic space for KG embedding. Using the properties of hyperbolic space, where the space near the center is small and the space away from the center is large, the MuRP model achieves effective KG embedding even in low-dimensional training conditions, making it particularly suitable for dynamic environments typical of intelligent networks. Therefore, this paper proposes a method that utilizes the characteristics of hyperbolic geometry to create an embedding model in hyperbolic space, combining translation and multi-dimensional rotation geometric transformations. This model accurately represents various relationship patterns in knowledge graphs, including symmetry, asymmetry, inversion, composition, hierarchy, and multiplicity, which are essential for enabling robust interactions in intelligent network frameworks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model generally outperforms Euclidean space embedding models under low-dimensional training conditions and performs comparably to other hyperbolic KGE models.
