description Abstract In the context of Internet of Things (IoT), optimizing quality of service (QoS) parameters is a critical challenge due to its heterogeneous and resource-constrained nature. This paper proposes a novel quantum-inspired multi-objective optimization algorithm for IoT service management. Traditional multi-objective optimization algorithms often face limitations such as slow convergence and susceptibility to local optima, reducing their effectiveness in complex IoT environments. To address these issues, we introduce a quantum-inspired hybrid algorithm that combines the strengths of Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm (MOGWOA) and Multi-Objective Whale Optimization Algorithm (MOWOA), enhanced with quantum principles. This novel integration overcomes the limitations of traditional algorithms by improving convergence speed and avoiding local optima. The hybrid algorithm enhances QoS in IoT applications by achieving superior optimization in terms of energy efficiency, latency reduction, convergence, and coverage cost. The incorporation of quantum-inspired mechanisms, such as quantum position and behavior, strengthens the exploration and exploitation capabilities of the algorithm, enabling faster and more accurate optimization. Extensive simulations and testing demonstrate the proposed method’s superior performance compared to existing algorithms, validating its effectiveness in addressing key IoT challenges.
