Abstract

This paper is concerned with markets of Virtual Things, which are parameterized specifications of products or services that can be realized and delivered on demand. Reported in this paper is the design and development of OptiGuide+, an interactive recommender system designed to guide users in choosing and optimally instantiating Virtual Things. OptiGuide+ enhances decision-making by dynamically integrating user preferences with multi-objective optimization. It supports (1) real-time interactive utility extraction from user-selected preferences on Pareto-optimal alternatives; (2) seamless integration of virtual things’ specifications; (3) cross-platform web-based deployment capability; and (4) an intuitive user interface for visualizing trade-offs to explore Pareto-optimal alternatives. OptiGuide+ is unique in its ability to leverage utility-driven decision guidance methodology for markets of parameterized products and services and demonstrate it in real-world applications.
