CLEVER has an answer!
In today’s distributed cloud-edge continuum, balancing user experience with infrastructure cost is a game of trade-offs, and personalized incentives may be the winning move.
Our latest CLEVER Project paper introduces a novel QoE-driven spot pricing scheme that personalizes incentives based on user flexibility. The result?
– Smarter resource allocation.
– Lower infrastructure costs.
– Fairer treatment for all users.
💡 What’s new:
- Elastic edge users are rewarded for accepting lower QoE — aligning individual incentives with system goals
- System costs reduced by up to 35% in high elasticity scenarios
- Fairness improved — inelastic users no longer free-ride on others’ adaptability
- Simulation-proven: Ideal for ESP business models, workload orchestration, and next-gen edge economies
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of system costs under traditional and personalized pricing 👇 (Cost drops significantly when elasticity is high!)
