AI Summary

This study addresses the challenge of effectively characterizing the complex interactions among heterogeneous actors and their social dimensions in data service markets, a limitation that hinders effective governance and regulation. To bridge this gap, the paper introduces an integrative approach that combines service ecosystem theory with heterogeneous multi-agent modeling to develop a utility-measurement framework centered on value creation. It systematically models three tiers of market participants and employs complex network analysis to quantify how heterogeneous network structures influence agent utilities. Experimental validation demonstrates that the proposed methodology successfully uncovers the underlying mechanisms linking network topology to utility outcomes, thereby offering both theoretical insights and analytical tools to support the governance of data service markets.

Abstract

With the increasing complexity of collaboration among various social entities and user demands, the factors affecting the stable development of the data service market are also growing. These factors include the widespread dissemination of information enhancing subjective consciousness, the continuous improvement in intelligence, and the complexification of structural relationships. To achieve effective governance and regulation of the data service market, it is crucial to conduct simulation experiments before making regulatory decisions. However, current research and analysis of the data service market primarily focus on data-level performance, proving inadequate when it comes to measurement and analysis of multiple heterogeneous entities and the integration of various social elements within the data service market. Based on this, this paper innovatively proposes a data service market measurement and network analysis method based on heterogeneous multi-agent modeling. By introducing the service ecosystem theory, we clarify the participants and external factors of the data service market and conduct utility measurements for three-level entities based on value creation. Furthermore, an analytical methodology is devised to precisely assess the influence of heterogeneous networks on utility. Finally, the paper verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method through the analysis of experimental results.
