ReACT-TTC: Capacity-Aware Top Trading Cycles for Post-Choice Reassignment in Shared CPS

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) increasingly manage shared physical resources in the presence of human decision-making, where system-assigned actions must be executed by users or agents in the physical world. A fundamental challenge in such settings is user non-compliance: individuals may deviate from assigned resources due to personal preferences or local information, degrading system efficiency and requiring light-weight reassignment schemes. This paper proposes a post-deviation reassignment framework for shared-resource CPS that operates on top of any initial allocation algorithm and is invoked only when users diverge from prescribed assignments. We advance the Top-Trading-Cycle (TTC) mechanism to enable voluntary, preference-driven exchanges after deviation events, and extend it to handle many-to-one resource capacities and unassigned resource conditions that are not supported by the classical TTC. We formalize these structural cases, introduce capacity-aware cycle-detection rules, and prove termination along with the preservation of Pareto efficiency, individual rationality, and strategy-proofness. A Prospect-Theoretic (PT) preference model is further incorporated to capture realistic user satisfaction behavior. We demonstrate the applicability of this framework on an electric-vehicle (EV) charging case study using real-world data, where it increases user satisfaction and effective assignment quality under non-compliant behavior.

SPATO: A Student Project Allocation Based Task Offloading in IoT-Fog Systems

The Internet of Things (IoT) devices are highly reliant on cloud systems to meet their storage and computational demands. However, due to the remote location of cloud servers, IoT devices often suffer from intermittent Wide Area Network (WAN) latency which makes execution of delay-critical IoT applications inconceivable. To overcome this, service providers (SPs) often deploy multiple fog nodes (FNs) at the network edge that helps in executing offloaded computations from IoT devices with improved user experience. As the FNs have limited resources, matching IoT services to FNs while ensuring minimum latency and energy from an end-user's perspective and maximizing revenue and tasks meeting deadlines from an SP's standpoint is challenging. Therefore in this paper, we propose a student project allocation (SPA) based efficient task offloading strategy called SPATO that takes into account key parameters from different stakeholders. Thorough simulation analysis shows that SPATO is able to reduce the offloading energy and latency respectively by 29% and 40% and improves the revenue by 25% with 99.3% of tasks executing within their deadline.
