A Stackelberg game for distributed formation of business-driven services communities

作者:

Highlights:

• Proposing a distributed community formation model for autonomous Web services.

• Modeling the community formation as a sequential Stackelberg game model.

• Deriving the equilibrium points of the game theoretically.

• Conducting simulation experiments to validate the theoretical derivations.

• Highlighting the industrial benefits of our model by means of a complete scenario.
