Software Development based on Scrum Agile in a distributed development environment plays a pivotal role in the contemporary software industry by facilitating software development across geographic boundaries. However, in the past different frameworks utilized to address the challenges like communication and collaboration in scrum agile distributed software development (SADSD) were notably inadequate in transparency, security, traceability, geographically dispersed location work agreements, geographically dispersed teamwork effectiveness, and trust. These deficiencies frequently resulted in delays in software development and deployment, customer dissatisfaction, canceled agreements, project failures, and disputes over payments between customers and development teams. To address these challenges of SADSD, this paper proposes a new framework called ChainAgile, which leverages blockchain technology. ChainAgile employs a private Ethereum blockchain to facilitate the execution of smart contracts. These smart contracts cover a range of functions, including acceptance testing, secure payments, requirement verification, task prioritization, sprint backlog, user story design and development and payments with the automated distribution of payments via digital wallets to development teams. Moreover, in the ChainAgile framework, smart contracts also play a pivotal role in automatically imposing penalties on customers for making late payments or for no payments and penalties on developers for completing the tasks that exceed their deadlines. Furthermore, ChainAgile effectively addresses the scalability limitations intrinsic in blockchain technology by incorporating the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) is used for storage solutions as an off-chain mechanism. The experimental results conclusively show that this innovative approach substantially improves transparency, traceability, coordination, communication, security, and trust for both customers and developers engaged in scrum agile distributed software development (SADSD).

“…Utilizing the features provided by blockchain, which allows obtaining a clear understanding of a transaction and its status, cloud-based relational databases can be shielded against internal intrusions and data tampering. This can help to improve data security and consistency of records stored in the database as any violation attempt will be detected [4].…”

Cloud computing and blockchain technology have become essential ideas in the field of IT, providing new ways to handle data. Cloud computing offers internet-based access to computing resources like servers and storage, while blockchain guarantees the accountability and immutability of data transactions with its distributed ledger system. Combining these technologies can enhance organizations' capabilities in data security and management. Businesses can utilize scalable infrastructure on cloud platforms by implementing blockchain technology, eliminating the need for large investments in physical resources. This integration improves the ability to access blockchain networks, making interactions easier across different locations and devices. Additionally, it enhances data security and privacy measures by enabling encrypted connections and strong authentication methods in cloud-based blockchain systems. Yet, obstacles remain in guaranteeing the authenticity and protection of information kept in multi-cloud settings, requiring effective authentication measures. To tackle these difficulties, this article presents a method for verifying data integrity in multi-cloud storage using blockchain technology, utilizing the decentralized aspect of blockchain to improve transparency and security. The plan automates verification procedures through smart contracts and cryptographic hashing, allowing for integrity checks at both a general and specific level across multiple Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). The proposed scheme has its effectiveness and reliability validated through theoretical analysis and experimental results, highlighting its potential to improve the security and efficiency of multi-cloud storage systems.

“…The landscape of the aforementioned technologies has been extensively studied and mapped out in a plethora of survey papers that e.g. discuss blockchain-based decentralized storage [31], [32] in particular, or IPFS and P2P networks [20], [21] in general. Additionally, numerous comparative studies addressed the performance of different decentralized data exchange approaches and shed light on the performance nuances of these systems by conducting extensive experiments [33]- [36].…”

Performance modeling can help to improve the resource efficiency of clusters and distributed dataflow applications, yet the available modeling data is often limited. Collaborative approaches to performance modeling, characterized by the sharing of performance data or models, have been shown to improve resource efficiency, but there has been little focus on actual data sharing strategies and implementation in production environments. This missing building block holds back the realization of proposed collaborative solutions.In this paper, we envision, design, and evaluate a peerto-peer performance data sharing approach for collaborative performance modeling of distributed dataflow applications. Our proposed data distribution layer enables access to performance data in a decentralized manner, thereby facilitating collaborative modeling approaches and allowing for improved prediction capabilities and hence increased resource efficiency. In our evaluation, we assess our approach with regard to deployment, data replication, and data validation, through experiments with a prototype implementation and simulation, demonstrating feasibility and allowing discussion of potential limitations and next steps.
