“…Applications of CC in GnSBMs are vast. For instance, CC improves cost and energy efficiency in big data environments (Rehman et al., 2016 ), enables better management of resources in high traffic networks (Kunsemoller et al., 2017 ), reduces cost and energy consumption of manufacturing systems (Fisher et al., 2018 ) and facilitates ICT provision in different sectors such as higher education (Tao et al., 2015 ).…”

Over the last two decades, green and sustainable business models (GnSBMs) have become a prominent topic of discussion among scholars, practitioners and policymakers. Preponderance of research and an increasing global pressure to adopt GnSBMs necessitate a comprehensive understanding of the state of research on GnSBMs. Towards this end, we extracted 851 publications on GnSBMs from the Scopus database and employed a series of bibliometrical techniques to: (1) explore the historical roots and sleeping beauties, (2) assess the life cycle, (3) map the conceptual evolution and (4) propose a research agenda for this growing field. Our analysis revealed that research on GnSBMs is moving from a multidisciplinary to an interdisciplinary domain. Its historical roots can be traced to the pioneering works on business strategy in the 1950s, environmental science in the early 1960s and stakeholder theory in the 1980s. Life cycle analysis indicated that research on GnSBM went through an introductory stage from 2002 to 2013 and then began to rapidly grow in 2014, and this growth is forecast to continue until circa 2040. The conceptual structures from 2002 to 2013 and 2014 to 2020 were mapped and an agenda for future research was proposed.

“…Some works worth noting [23][24][25] [26][27] characterized the interactions among ISPs, CSPs, and EUs from an economic point of view in various CDN markets. In [28], a formal game theoretic model is constructed to investigate the issues of incentives in network caching. Mitra et al [29] analyzed the interaction between a CSP and ISP by a Stackelberg model combined with the integrated operations model.…”

The popularity of commercial content delivery applications has led to dissension among three embroiled parties: Content Service Providers (CSPs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and End Users (EUs). This dissension is not only a technical problem but an economic problem. To harmonize this dissension, this paper takes live streaming as a typical content delivery application. It proposes a profitable system model that enables all three parties to enlarge their benefits with the help of a prevalent content delivery architecture integrated with edge caching and traffic engineering technologies. We model the interactions among CSPs, ISPs, and EUs as a tripartite game where more and more ISPs and CSPs are involved in the market. We introduce a pricing scheme that captures the application features. We study the tripartite game in different market scenarios and propose a dynamic three-stage Stackelberg game combined with the Cournot game that characterizes the interdependent, interactive, and competitive relationship among the three parties. Moreover, we investigate how the market competition motivates ISPs to upgrade the cache service infrastructure. Our theoretical analysis and empirical study show that the model can result in a win-win-win outcome.

Internet traffic volume is increasing, and this causes scalability issues in content delivery. Information-centric network has been introduced to support this increase in Internet traffic through caching. While collaborative caching in information-centric network is a crucial feature to improve network performance and reduce delivery costs in content distribution, the current pricing strategies on the Internet are not incentive compatible with information-centric network interconnection. In this paper, we focus on the economic incentive interactions in caching deployment between several types of information-centric network providers (content provider and Internet service provider). In particular, we develop game-theoretic models to study the interaction between providers in an information-centric network model where the providers are motivated to cache and share content. We use a generalized Zipf distribution to model content popularity. We formulate the interactions between the Internet service providers and between the content providers as a noncooperative game. We use a Stackelberg game model to capture the interactions between the content provider and Internet service providers. Through mathematical analysis, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium under some conditions. An iterative and distributed algorithm based on best response dynamics is proposed to achieve the equilibrium point. The numerical simulations illustrate that our proposed game models result in a win-win solution.
