“…When looking into the application domain, most of the research (7 articles) discuss the application of blockchain for e-Government in general, discuss the idea, potential benefits, current issues, potential use, approach and evaluation of blockchain adoption [20,25,27,29,[35][36][37]. Blockchain applications in public healthcare received the highest attention, with four articles looking into the possible use of blockchain to Meanwhile, three articles examined the use of blockchain in educational services to overcome the lack of data integration and integrity in the public education sector [7,40,41].…”

“…In accordance with the categorization of the systems development research process by Nunamaker et al [34], we identified 11 articles that are focused on providing conceptual frameworks of blockchain utilization in e-Government applications. Some of the articles discuss current issues, the potential benefits, the importance and general vision of adopting blockchain technology to improve public services delivery [20,25,27,29,[35][36][37], and e-voting [12]. Furthermore, Sun et al [43] analyzed the influence of blockchain technology on the smart city development while Maria-Lluïsa and Marsal-Llacuna [30] show how blockchain networks could disrupt the urban context.…”

The ability of blockchain technology to record transactions on distributed ledgers offers new opportunities for governments to improve transparency, prevent fraud, and establish trust in the public sector. However, blockchain adoption and use in the context of e-Government is rather unexplored in academic literature. In this paper, we systematically review relevant research to understand the current research topics, challenges and future directions regarding blockchain adoption for e-Government. The results show that the adoption of blockchainbased applications in e-Government is still very limited and there is a lack of empirical evidence. The main challenges faced in blockchain adoption are predominantly presented as technological aspects such as security, scalability and flexibility. From an organizational point of view, the issues of acceptability and the need of new governance models are presented as the main barriers to adoption. Moreover, the lack of legal and regulatory support is identified as the main environmental barrier of adoption. Based on the challenges presented in the literature, we propose future research questions that need to be addressed to inform how the public sector should approach the blockchain technology adoption.

“…DRAMS [40] proposes a blockchain-based decentralized runtime access monitoring system for a federated cloud in order to ensure that the components that receive, process and exchange access requests can not be subverted. Margheri et al [41] proposed an innovative governance approach, data masking, anonymization and access control monitoring services, to ensure a democratic control of different providers in a cloud federation. On the other hand, CloudChain [42] proposed a blockchain-based democratic infrastructure service provisioning system for a cloud federation ensuring the transparency and immutability in resource and information exchange.…”

Blockchain is one of the emerging technologies with the potential to disrupt many application domains. Cloud is an on-demand service paradigm facilitating the availability of shared resources for data storage and computation. In recent years, the integration of blockchain and cloud has received significant attention for ensuring efficiency, transparency, security and even for offering better cloud services in the form of novel service models. In order to exploit the full potential of blockchain-cloud integration, it is essential to have a clear understanding on the existing works within this domain. To facilitate this, there have been several survey papers, however, none of them covers the aspect of blockchain-cloud integration from a service-oriented perspective. This paper aims to fulfil this gap by providing a service oriented review of blockchain-cloud integration. Indeed, in this survey, we explore different service models into which blockchain has been integrated. For each service model, we review the existing works and present a comparative analysis so as to offer a clear and concise view in each category.

The increasing demand of the cloud services and with the emergence of many could service providers, the need for cloud federation is inevitable. In cloud federation, many could services providers are collaborating with each other to improve the resources usage, cost, quality of service they provide. To form this federation a management framework is required to facilitate the communication between these providers. This framework can be centralized or distributed, distributed Peer to Peer cloud federation improve extensibility, scalability and fault-tolerant. On the other hand, it is challenging in term of complexity, security and manageability of the federation. In this paper we propose a fully distributed P2P Cloud Federation (PPCF) architecture. PPCF provide a way to connect heterogenous cloud providers to share resources and improve the cloud elasticity. The architecture combines different software technologies to fulfil the cloud federation requirements.
