allocation of the maximum number of VMs in each
round. The algorithm for allocating the remaining
VMs after the auction is proposed. To take advantage
of competition among users and service providers, a
competitive bidding strategy is proposed. To com-
pare QoTAS with existing studies MADA (Peng et al.,
2020) and DPDA (Joshi and Srivastava, 2020) remote
patient monitoring tasks are used. In both the truth-
ful and competitive bidding scenarios, QoTAS outper-
forms DPDA and MADA in both bidding strategies.
It has more 89% SU than DPDA and more 54% UU
than MADA. Furthermore, the CompBid strategy in-
creases SU of QoTAS by 25% while decreasing UU.
