This paper proposes a dynamic and optimal pricing scheme for provisioning Sensors-as-a-Service (Se-aaS) [1] within the sensor-cloud infrastructure. Existing cloud pricing models are limited in terms of the homogeneity in service-types, and hence, are not compliant for the heterogeneous service orien...
