With the advent and proliferation of the internet, the fourth industrial revolution is in full swing. As a result, different technologies have the potential to impact the course of human development. In other words, worldwide populations are moving towards growing urban centers and as a result, smart cities are emerging as the integration of human activities and technologies. These smart cities are built on top of different technologies such as blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT). Consequently, the applications of these technologies in current and future smart cities will not only change the nature of human interaction and governance but also how business is conducted. This paper proposes an experimental study (qualitative and quantitative) that will determine the impact of blockchain and IoT technologies on the development of smart cities. It aims to derive insight from questions such as how current business models are preparing themselves for this disruption, the challenges they will face, and the potential contributions the two technologies will have on business development. The study's outcomes will provide the rationale for why businesses should start paying attention to these technologies and start on an early adoption plan that will slowly transform their business models as smart cities mature.

“…Only the smart contracts implementation enabled the embedding of crossorganization collaboration models that were executed through private (permissioned) and federated (hybrid/consortium) blockchains. In the private blockchain, the access is restricted, and read and write access are controlled based on the roles of the nodes or other restrictions as defined by the protocol (Onik, et al 2019). The Federated blockchain is moderated according to the consortium need, the access can be restricted, or reading/writing rights will be limited and defined as prioris.…”

“…The blockchain concept constitutes new opportunities for enterprises and enterprise networks nowadays. The first Blockchain is not a completely new technology, it is rather just a new mechanism utilising existing multifaceted technologies together -such as distributed ledger technology (DLT), mathematical hashing, distributed networks, asymmetric encryption techniques, digital signatures and programming (Onik, et al 2019 andBadr, et al 2018). The Blockchain technology brings the possibility to embed a cross-organizational collaboration model, ( joining entities that already cooperate into chains, and eliminating redundancy of transactions storage through a common distributed ledger (Norta, 2016).…”

The main purpose of the paper is to discuss the nature of the enterprise architecture of the blockchain platform (EAoBP). The authors also highlighted how the main technology challenges for enterprises are addressed through the proposed solution. The paper consists of the introduction and 3 chapters. Chapter 2 presents related works about the blockchain technology and defines the platform concept. The architecture layers which are required to build the enterprise blockchain platforms are described in the 3rd chapter. The 4th chapter constitutes the implementation aspects of the EAoBP. The permissioned blockchain systems leverage a cross-organizational collaboration model, what constitutes cooperation within the network without 3rd party authorities. The open source character of the implementation technology and the clear guidance of the scope of each layer clarified in the article should help businesses in applying the concept.

“…The third section describes our model: a tokenizable e-Participation model based on a platform design [23]. The fourth section details the structure and theoretical system of RETIS, a neural blockchain network prepared to be launched in a cloud environment under a BaaS (Blockchain as a Service) approach [24]. In the final section the paper discusses the opportunities offered by this new e-Participation framework using blockchain as a platform and offers directions for future work.…”

A neural blockchain for a tokenizable e-Participation model

Highlights • A tokenizable e-Participation model will develop new local engagement. • Using a "democratic token" will help governments to overcome the governance deficit. • Building a BaaS neural network within a cloud framework is a scalable and sustainable solution. • A Neural Distributed Ledger (NDL) is a step beyond developing a 3D blockchain system. • A dApp called VoteKeeper uses Smart Contracts as a block producer in a virtual token. Abstract Currently, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) and, especially, Blockchain technology represent a great opportunity for public institutions to improve citizen participation and foster democratic innovation. These technologies facilitate the simplification of processes and provide secure management of recorded data, guaranteeing the transmission and public transparency of information. Based on the combination of a Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) platform and G-Cloud solutions, our proposal consists of the design of an e-Participation model that uses a tokenizable system of the actions and processes undertaken by citizens in participatory processes providing incentives to promote greater participation in public affairs. In order to develop a sustainable, scalable and resilient e-Participation system, a new blockchain concept, which organizes the blocks as a neural system, is combined with the implementation of a virtual token to reward participants. Furthermore, this virtual token is deployed through a smart contract that the block itself produces, containing information about the transaction and all the documents involved in the process. Finally, our Neural Distributed Ledger (NDL) framework facilitates the interconnection of blockchain networks in a transparent, certified, secure, auditable, scalable and traceable way.
