“…The proposed architecture makes an assumption that the IOTA Tangle is capable of working under an offline Tangle scenario but no bounds such as amount of offline time or unconfirmed transactions rate have been described. A similar assumption can also be found in other papers [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], they are completely agnostic to the underlying functioning and what bounds nodes need to abide by when they refer to IOTA capabilities for offline transactions. As seen in Table 1 , different attributes are mentioned including offline compatibility, to the best of our knowledge, there does not exist any study or reference on the offline compatibility before this one.…”

An increased pattern of hidden Internet of Things (IoT) devices has been observed. Due to the increased number of security attacks, a large number of IoT devices are disappearing from the public internet. Operating blockchain operations in such ad hoc connectivity becomes challenging. However, multiple past studies have pointed towards IOTA Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) that closely caters to offline blockchain use cases. However, there has been little to no empirical study or introduction to time bounds on transaction confirmation. Therefore, this study explains what provisions the existing IOTA blockchain has to accommodate the increased pattern of hidden IoT devices, and if IOTA is truly sufficient as a solution. In summary, we approach research questions by analyzing the studies that explore the trend of offline IoT devices and evaluating the relevance of offline blockchains, assessing the IOTA specification and codebase around offline transaction-making capabilities and pointing out some bounds that IOTA blockchain nodes must follow towards incoming transactions. Furthermore, we confirm by experimental runs that outside and within the tight time bounds transactions in offline Tangle can become stale and not get confirmed, and the effective time-bound can be even less. Realizing the need for a better offline blockchain scalability solution.

“…In summary, a systematic modularization design method for a smart industrial service ecosystem (SISE) is explored to realize complex smart service solution design. Based on previous relevant research [4,5,8], the authors propose a new business model for smart industrial service solutions. This study systematically illustrated the concept and characteristics of SISE, and specific quantitative modular construction for SISE has been realized.…”

“…Previous research related to the SISE concept contains several aspects. For example, Anthony, B. et al [4,5] mentioned the importance of applying a distributed ledger and decentralized technology to form a collaborative digital service ecosystem. Kortum, H. et al [6] proposed a detailed literature review study and mentioned that lifecycle data management should be applied to realize a smart living service ecosystem.…”

Modularization Design for Smart Industrial Service Ecosystem: A Framework Based on the Smart Industrial Service Identification Blueprint and Hypergraph Clustering

Compared with the conventional industrial product–service system, the smart industrial service ecosystem (SISE) mentioned in this study contains more service activity according to the characteristics of the industrial context, participation of various stakeholders and smart interconnected technologies. This study proposes a detailed modularization design framework for SISE, which can be referenced in various industrial contexts. Firstly, the context-based smart industrial service identification blueprint (SISIB) is proposed to describe the operation model of SISE and identify the service components. The SISIB can ensure that the designers understand the service and work process of the system and improve or carry out the smart industrial service (SIS) component identification. In the case of this article, SIS components from different industrial levels can be systematically identified. Secondly, smart collaboration and sustainable development principles are proposed for measuring the correlation degree among the service components. Considering the complexity and multi-level distribution nature of service components, the hyperedge concept is presented to realize the correlation comparison among the service components, and the evaluation linguistics is applied to handle the decision uncertainties. With this method, the effective correlation comparison between service components can be formed with few hyperedges. Thirdly, the hypergraph clustering theory is applied to define the SISE service module partition. The triangular fuzzy number is first used in hyperedge strength evaluation to comply with the vague linguistics from service design experts. The normalized hypergraph cut principle is realized using the K nearest neighbors (kNN) algorithm, and with this method, the new unified hypergraph and related Laplace matrix can be obtained. Then, the relevant eigenvalue of that Laplace matrix is gained, and the component clustering visualization is realized using the k-means algorithm. After the clustering is performed, several modular design schemes can be gained. In order to select the best modularization scheme, we referenced the modularity concept and realized the quality measurement for the modular design using hypergraph modularity criteria. Regarding these three steps, a detailed modularization case study for a renewable electricity service ecosystem design is presented to verify the viability and feasibility of the study in service modular design. The result showed that the framework in this study can realize the visible and clearance service component identification in a smart connected multi-level industrial context. The modular design scheme based on hypergraph can also achieve high modularity with a more convenient correlation evaluation.

“…Technology is key in enabling new development opportunities for smart cities, especially by enhancing existing urban processes, such as transport, health, education, government, and energy and waste management [3]. Smart cities use digital technology to improve existing urban processes by achieving more efficient coordination of smart services and providing added value to citizens through digitalisation [4].…”

Smart cities, as defined by Sustainable Development Goal 11, strive to make cities more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Digital technologies addresses urbanisation concerns, such as rising energy use, pollution, waste disposal, and social inequities. The Internet of Things (IoT) and data-driven technologies are essential drivers, with a focus on infrastructure and decision-making in smart cities and municipalities. Digital Transformation (DT) is a prerequisite for becoming a Smart Municipality. The research objective of this paper is to investigate the role of digital technologies in improving urban processes, focusing on Smart City dimensions for municipalities, namely smart governance, environment, living, and technology. Municipalities in South Africa, particularly in the Eastern Cape, used digital adoption to boost productivity and skill development. However, the need for standardised DT principles presents problems for transitioning municipalities into data-driven organisations. The paper also examines the global energy issue and how smart cities can contribute to energy solutions. Finally, the paper addresses the following research question: ‘How can lessons learned from the Eastern Cape Municipalities digital adoption be scaled to other developing nations facing similar challenges in energy management and urban planning?’ Using a survey method, it provides guidelines in the DT framework, offering empirical insights into Smart Municipality digitalisation.
