项目摘要

The economic and societal potential of emerging 5G and cyber-physical social systems is vastly greater than what has been realized so far, and major investments are being made worldwide to develop the corresponding science and technology. Though significant achievements have been obtained in the development of various architectures to study such interconnected systems, one barrier to further progress is the lack of appropriate science and technology to conceptualize and design for the deep inter-dependencies among users behaviors, interactions, and decisions. This project, called REFRESH, promotes a novel research agenda, where the proposed resource management framework and the real-life modeling approach go beyond the classical settings. The proposed approach allows for the creation of a user-centric framework that brings significant benefits for (a) the end-user, in terms of reduced power consumption, lower prices and reduced communication and computation overhead; and (b) for the network or service provider, in terms of energy savings and increased number of satisfied customers. The proposed research will influence not only the corresponding scientific directions but will stimulate changes in the emerging economies of scale, creating the basis for societal growth and paradigm shifts. Concrete plans to maximize the broader impacts of the project include educational activities, outreach actions, minority student recruitment, diversity, and data dissemination actions.In REFRESH a novel approach to resource allocation in wireless networks is considered, based on the following ideas: (a) Instead of maximizing the Quality of Service (QoS), it is argued that better energy-efficiency is achieved by targeting satisfactory QoS levels only. This is treated by a game-theoretical solution concept referred to as satisfaction equilibrium; (b) The theory used so far has not managed to properly address the fact that individuals in real-life do not behave as neutral expected utility maximizers, but they tend to exhibit risk-seeking or loss-aversion behavior under uncertainty. To deal with this, Prospect Theory and the theory of the Tragedy of the Commons are exploited. The realism of the introduced novel resource allocation paradigm is complemented by integrating learning approaches to reduce the impact of communication and computing environment dynamicity and lack of information. Expected findings have the potential to lay the foundations of a solid theoretical and pragmatic resource management framework.This project is jointly funded by the Computer and Network Systems (CNS) program and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

新兴的 5G 和网络物理社会系统的经济和社会潜力远远大于迄今为止所实现的潜力，全球范围内正在进行大量投资来开发相应的科学技术。尽管在开发各种架构来研究此类互连系统方面已经取得了重大成就，但进一步进展的一个障碍是缺乏适当的科学和技术来概念化和设计用户行为、交互和决策之间的深层相互依赖关系。这个名为 REFRESH 的项目促进了一项新颖的研究议程，其中提出的资源管理框架和现实生活建模方法超越了经典设置。所提出的方法允许创建一个以用户为中心的框架，该框架为（a）最终用户带来显着的好处，即降低功耗、降低价格以及减少通信和计算开销； (b) 对于网络或服务提供商而言，在节能和增加满意的客户数量方面。拟议的研究不仅将影响相应的科学方向，还将刺激新兴规模经济的变化，为社会增长和范式转变奠定基础。最大限度地发挥该项目更广泛影响的具体计划包括教育活动、外展行动、少数民族学生招募、多样性和数据传播行动。在 REFRESH 中，基于以下想法，考虑了一种无线网络资源分配的新方法：（a ) 有人认为，更好的能源效率不是通过最大化服务质量 (QoS) 来实现的，而是仅以令人满意的 QoS 水平为目标。这是通过称为满意度均衡的博弈论解决方案概念来处理的； (b) 迄今为止使用的理论未能正确解决这样一个事实：现实生活中的个人并不表现为中立的预期效用最大化者，而是在不确定性下倾向于表现出寻求风险或规避损失的行为。为了解决这个问题，前景理论和公地悲剧理论被利用。通过集成学习方法来补充所引入的新颖资源分配范式的现实性，以减少通信和计算环境动态和信息缺乏的影响。预期的结果有可能为坚实的理论和务实的资源管理框架奠定基础。该项目由计算机和网络系统 (CNS) 计划和刺激竞争性研究既定计划 (EPSCoR) 共同资助。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
