“…1) blockchain protocol for multi-agent systems includes UAVs: Aleksandr et al [79] experimented, the idea was to make the communication between the multi-agent system more reliable and foolproof so that they can make decisions collectively in a more effective manner. Decentralization of the blockchain was the driving force between their experiment which ensures the safe and reliable communication between the multi-agent systems.…”

As a disruptive technology, blockchain, particularly its original form of bitcoin as a type of digital currency, has attracted great attentions. The innovative distributed decision making and security mechanism lay the technical foundation for its success, making us consider to penetrate the power of blockchain technology to distributed control and cooperative robotics, in which the distributed and secure mechanism is also highly demanded. Actually, security and distributed communication have long been unsolved problems in the field of distributed control and cooperative robotics. It has been reported on the network failure and intruder attacks of distributed control and multi-robotic systems. Blockchain technology provides promise to remedy this situation thoroughly. This work is intended to create a global picture of blockchain technology on its working principle and key elements in the language of control and robotics, to provide a shortcut for beginners to step into this research field.

“…This is likely due to its status as the first established blockchain platform supporting full fledged smart contracts. It's use cases span almost all sectors we looked at, including voting [71], taxation [74], and collaborative urban decisionmaking [5], [78] in government sector; research paper authoring collaboration [90], digital media rights protection [102] and lottery system [102] in education, culture, science and innovation sector; clinical trial process improvement [105], medical data sharing [110], [114], supply chain of drug [121] and food [124] in well-being, health and safety sector; collaborative business process [133], [134], product provenance [137], automated sales systems [139], and sharing economies [147], [148] in the economy sector; sustainable transportation [172] in the transportation sector; energy efficiency and peer-to-peer energy market [178]- [180], [183], [184], [187], [195], and electronic vehicle charging [204] in the energy sector; and building operation management access control [214] in the built environment sector. It should be noted that while Ethereum is a permissionless blockchain, most of the research prototypes are run on the test net or a separate private Ethereum network due to their early stage nature.…”

Blockchain for Cities—A Systematic Literature Review

Blockchain is considered one of the most disruptive technologies of our time. Numerous cities around the world are launching blockchain initiatives as part of the overall efforts toward shaping the urban future. However, the infancy stage of the blockchain industry leads to a severe gap between the knowledge we have and the actions urban policy makers are taking. This paper is an effort to narrow this rift. We provide a systematic literature review on concrete blockchain use cases proposed by the research community. At the macro-level, we discuss and organize use cases from 159 selected papers into nine sectors recognized as crucial for sustainable and smart urban future. At the micro-level, we identify a component-based framework and analyze the design and prototypes of blockchain systems studied in a subset of 71 papers. The high-level use case review allows us to illustrate the relationship between them and the four pillars of urban sustainability: social, economic, environmental, and governmental. The system level analysis helps us highlight interesting inconsistencies between well-known blockchain applicability decision rules and the approaches taken by the literature. We also offer two classification methodologies for blockchain use cases and elaborate on how they can be applied to stimulate cross-sector insights in the blockchain knowledge domain.INDEX TERMS Bitcoin, blockchain, computer networks, consensus, crypto token, distributed computing, Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, systematic literature review, smart city, smart contract, system analysis and design, peer-to-peer computing, urban sustainability, use case.

Blockchain is a popular method to ensure security for trusted systems. The benefits include an auditable method to provide decentralized security without a trusted third party, but the drawback is the large computational resources needed to process and store the ever-expanding chain of security blocks. The promise of blockchain for edge devices (e.g., internet of things) poses a variety of challenges and strategies before adoption. In this paper, we explore blockchain methods and examples, with experimental data to determine the merits of the capabilities. As for an aerospace example, we address a notional example for Automatic dependent surveillancebroadcast (ADSB) from Flight24 data (https://www.flightradar24.com/) to determine whether blockchain is feasible for avionics systems. The methods are incorporated into the Lightweight Internet of Things (IoT) based Smart Public Safety (LISPS) framework. By decoupling a complex system into independent sub-tasks, the LISPS system possesses high flexibility in the design process and online maintenance. The Blockchain-enabled decentralized avionics services provide a secured data sharing and access control mechanism. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.
