Abstract
The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) refers to the
interconnection of Internet of Things (IoT) devices with the
addition of a social layer, enabling them to mimic humanlike behavior. This technology facet facilitates data and service
sharing among devices, creating a scalable network of socially
interconnected devices. However, this rapid increase in device
numbers and generated data has led to the challenge of data
explosion. To address this challenge, service recommendation
systems play a crucial role in improving network navigability
and service discovery within the SIoT context. However, existing
research often overlooks important aspects that could make
service selection more pertinent and relevant. Specifically, current
service recommendation approaches focus on extracting social
relationships between devices while neglecting the contextual presentation of service reviews. In this research, we introduce a service recommendation framework for SIoT context that integrates
service-review aggregation and feature learning processes by
utilizing the Factorization Machines to capture complex feature
interactions unique to each SIoT device-service pair. Empirical
results across three benchmark datasets demonstrate that the
proposed CASR-SIoT framework consistently outperforms stateof-the-art baselines, achieving up to 14% improvement in Recall,
8% in Precision, and 15% reduction in RMSE, thereby validating
its effectiveness in delivering accurate and context-aware service
recommendations in SIoT environments.
