This paper investigates a novel hybrid worker recruitment problem where the mobile crowd sensing and computing (MCSC) platform employs workers to serve MCSC tasks with diverse quality requirements and budget constraints, under uncertainties in workers' participation and their local workloads.We propose a hybrid worker recruitment framework consisting of offline and online trading modes. The former enables the platform to overbook long-term workers (services) to cope with dynamic service supply via signing contracts in advance, which is formulated as 0-1 integer linear programming (ILP) with probabilistic constraints of service quality and budget.Besides, motivated by the existing uncertainties which may render long-term workers fail to meet the service quality requirement of each task, we augment our methodology with an online temporary worker recruitment scheme as a backup Plan B to support seamless service provisioning for MCSC tasks, which also represents a 0-1 ILP problem. To tackle these problems which are proved to be NP-hard, we develop three algorithms, namely, i) exhaustive searching, ii) unique index-based stochastic searching with risk-aware filter constraint, iii) geometric programming-based successive convex algorithm, which achieve the optimal or sub-optimal solutions. Experimental results demonstrate our effectiveness in terms of service quality, time efficiency, etc.

Federated learning (FL) is a classic paradigm of 6G edge intelligence (EI), which alleviates privacy leaks and high communication pressure caused by traditional centralized data processing in the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT). The implementation of multimodal federated perception (MFP) services involves three sub-processes, including sensing-based multimodal data generation, communication-based model transmission, and computing-based model training, ultimately relying on available underlying multi-domain physical resources such as time, frequency, and computing power. How to reasonably coordinate the multi-domain resources scheduling among sensing, communication, and computing, therefore, is crucial to the MFP networks. To address the above issues, this paper investigates service-oriented resource management with integrated sensing, communication, and computing (ISCC). With the incentive mechanism of the MFP service market, the resources management problem is redefined as a social welfare maximization problem, where the idea of "expanding resources" and "reducing costs" is used to improve learning performance gain and reduce resource costs. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed resource scheduling mechanisms.

We investigate a data quality-aware dynamic client selection problem for multiple federated learning (FL) services in a wireless network, where each client offers dynamic datasets for the simultaneous training of multiple FL services, and each FL service demander has to pay for the clients under constrained monetary budgets. The problem is formalized as a non-cooperative Markov game over the training rounds. A multi-agent hybrid deep reinforcement learning-based algorithm is proposed to optimize the joint client selection and payment actions, while avoiding action conflicts. Simulation results indicate that our proposed algorithm can significantly improve training performance.
