📝Publication Top Notes

📝 1. A Two-Way Dynamic Adaptive Pricing Resource Allocation Model Based on Combinatorial Double Auctions in Computational Network

  • Journal: Computer Communications

  • Publication Date: April 2025

  • Type: Journal Article

  • DOI: 10.1016/j.comcom.2025.108170

  • Contributors: Yanjun Xu, Chunqi Tian, Wei Wang, Lizhi Bai, Xuhui Xia

  • Source: Crossref

  • Summary:  This paper proposes a two-way dynamic adaptive pricing model for resource allocation using a combinatorial double auction mechanism in computational networks. The model is designed to handle the complexity of multi-party bidding and resource matching efficiently. By incorporating adaptive pricing strategies, the system dynamically balances supply and demand in real time, improving overall allocation efficiency. The method shows promising performance in cloud and edge computing scenarios, especially where resources are heterogeneously distributed and demand is volatile.

📝 2. Collaborative Motivation Framework Leveraging Similar Interest Behavior in Semantic Web Applications

  • Journal: International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS)

  • Publication Date: December 28, 2024

  • Type: Journal Article

  • DOI: 10.4018/IJSWIS.365912

  • Contributors: Yanjun Xu, Chunqi Tian, Yaoru Sun, Haodong Zhang

  • Source: Crossref

  • Summary:  This research introduces a collaborative motivation framework that enhances user engagement in semantic web platforms by leveraging similar interest behavior. The proposed system models semantic relevance and behavioral similarity to personalize recommendations and group formation. This approach is particularly beneficial in social knowledge-sharing systems and e-learning platforms, where collaborative filtering alone may fall short. The framework shows strong potential for increasing user satisfaction and platform interactivity.
