Incentive Mechanism for Mobile Crowdsensing
Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) is emerging as a novel sensing paradigm in the Internet of Things (IoTs) due to the proliferation of smart devices (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices) in people's daily lives. These ubiquitous devices provide an opportunity to harness the wisdom of crowds by recruiting mobile users to collectively perform sensing tasks, which largely collect data about a wide range of human activities and the surrounding environment. However, users suffer from resource consumption such as battery, processing power, and storage, which discourages users' participation. To ensure the participation rate, it is necessary to employ an incentive mechanism to compensate users' costs such that users are willing to take part in crowdsensing. This book sheds light on the design of incentive mechanisms for MCS in the context of game theory. Particularly, this book presents several game-theoretic models for MCS in different scenarios. In Chapter 1, the authors present an overview of MCS and state the significance of incentive mechanism for MCS. Then, in Chapter 2, 3, 4, and 5, the authors propose a long-term incentive mechanism, a fair incentive mechanism, a collaborative incentive mechanism, and a coopetition-aware incentive mechanism for MCS, respectively. Finally, Chapter 6 summarizes this book and point out the future directions. This book is of particular interest to the readers and researchers in the field of IoT research, especially in the interdisciplinary field of network economics and IoT.

Cryptocurrencies in the Industrial Context. The Usage of IOTA in Different Industries
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Computer Sciences - Cryptocurrency, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Essen (Economics), language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to have an economical view on cryptocurrencies in the industrial context. A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency with a mostly decentralized, shared and cryptographical payment system. The definition of the European Banking Authority is: "Virtual currencies are defined as a digital representation of value that is neither issued by a central bank or public authority nor necessarily attached to a Fiat currency, but is used by natural or legal persons as a means of exchange and can be transferred, stored or traded electronically." If we are talking about Bitcoin, there is also always the speech of blockchain. Blockchain is the technology behind the Bitcoin and must be separated from the cryptocurrency. These are two different things, the blockchain and the cryptocurrency. There are cryptocurrencies without a blockchain and a blockchain without a cryptocurrency. Beside the blockchain, there is an alternative technology, called the tangle.

Maximizing profit in uplift modeling through regret-optimal policy learning strategies
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 1.0, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Wirtschaftsinformatik), language: English, abstract: The aim of this study is to provide this framework as well as benchmark business performance of both Uplift Modeling and Reinforcement Learning. Furthermore, the framework will account for the essential requirements of profit maximization in real-world business scenarios that have rarely been covered in uplift literature. Specifically, it incorporates covariates that capture the expected revenue and costs associated with a given action, which are necessary to account for the heterogeneity in spending patterns and action costs. Profit maximization is traditionally known as one of the key objectives of a firm and requires little explanation. In a marketing context, it translates to targeting only the relevant individuals, namely those that will react favorably to receiving a form of treatment. Identifying precisely those individuals has been subject of two distinct Machine Learning approaches that are associated with optimal decision-making: Uplift Modeling and Reinforcement Learning. Despite their shared focus, both techniques are fundamentally distinct from each other. Uplift Modeling utilizes labeled data to predict the uplift of an action, whereas Reinforcement Learning is an iterative, label-free technique that aims to determine the optimal decision, incorporating the uplift. However - to date - research has scarcely examined the comparative effectiveness of these two approaches, nor has it explored the feasibility of an integrated framework that leverages both disciplines.

Functional Programming in Java
Imagine writing Java code that reads like the problem statement, code that's highly expressive, concise, easy to read and modify, and has reduced complexity. With the functional programming capabilities in Java, that's not a fantasy. This book will guide you from the familiar imperative style through the practical aspects of functional programming, using plenty of examples. Apply the techniques you learn to turn highly complex imperative code into elegant and easy-to-understand functional-style code. Updated to the latest version of Java, this edition has four new chapters on error handling, refactoring to functional style, transforming data, and idioms of functional programming. Don't struggle with the limitations of the imperative style; instead learn to combine object-oriented programming with the functional style to reduce the accidental complexity. Harness the functional programming capabilities of Java to create applications where the program reveals its intentions and your team can quickly understand and modify code to align with changing business requirements. Unlock the power of lambda expressions and the Streams API to turn the oft-written spaghetti code into highly concise, expressive, elegant, and maintainable code. See how Streams make the arduous task of parallelizing code as easy as flipping a switch when superior speed is necessary. Apply design patterns built around lambda expressions, safely manage resource allocations, use memoization, and learn to transform data into different forms, all while honoring immutability, and providing thread safety to leverage lazy evaluation for efficiency and parallel execution for performance. Move beyond the basics, explore the idioms for writing functional programs. Learn to think functionally by refactoring legacy code into the functional style. And, if your code runs aground due to failures, learn to properly handle errors the functional way. Don't drown in theory; instead learn the practical functional programming techniques to create superior Java code. What You Need: Java version 8 or newer.

Programming the ESP32 in MicroPython
There is a new edition of this book: Programming the ESP32 in MicroPython Second Edition The ESP32 is a remarkable device. It is low cost but with many different subsystems that make it more powerful than you might think. You can use it for simple applications because it is cheap, but you can also use it for more sophisticated applications because it is capable. MicroPython is a good choice of language to program the ESP32. Although it is a slower language than C, most of the time this doesn't matter and it is much easier to use. As a high-level language, MicroPython is based on Python 3 and is fully object-oriented. In general, you can take an existing Python 3 program and simply run it under MicroPython. If there are any changes to make, they are generally minor.Another good thing about MicroPython on the ESP32 is that it is very easy to get started. After a simple installation procedure you have a working MicroPython machine which you can program almost at once using the Thonny IDE or PyCharm which has more extensive syntax checking and input prompting.The purpose of the book is to reveal what you can do with the ESP's GPIO lines together with widely used sensors, servos and motors and ADCs. After covering the GPIO, outputs and inputs, events and interrupts, it gives you hands-on experience of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), the SPI bus, the I2C bus and the 1-Wire bus. We also cover direct access to the hardware, adding an SD Card reader, sleep states to save power, the RTC, RMT and touch sensors, not to mention how to use WiFi.The ESP32 has so many resources that a comprehensive account would fill a book twice this size. In order to make things fit in the space available we have concentrated on things that are accessible from MicroPython and that are basic to getting started. We have avoided "advanced" topics which generally lead the beginner into deep water far too quickly. However, we do cover of use of uasyncio, and asynchronous programming, in general as they are essential to networking. Jointly authored by Harry Fairhead and Mike James, this book combines Harry's expertise in electronics and the IoT with Mike's knowledge of Python. Their previous books include Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico/W in MicroPython, Raspberry Pi IoT In Python, Raspberry Pi IoT In Python Using Linux Drivers while Harry Fairhead is the author of the C language counterparts. His other books include Fundamental C: Getting Closer To The Machine, Applying C For The IoT With Linux, and Micro: bit IoT in C.
