QoS-Ledger: Smart Contracts and Metaheuristic for Secure Quality-of-Service and Cost-Efficient Scheduling of Medical-Data Processing

Abstract

Quality-of-service (QoS) is the term used to evaluate the overall performance of a service. In healthcare applications, efficient computation of QoS is one of the mandatory requirements during the processing of medical records through smart measurement methods. Medical services often involve the transmission of demanding information. Thus, there are stringent requirements for secure, intelligent, public-network quality-of-service. This paper contributes to three different aspects. First, we propose a novel metaheuristic approach for medical cost-efficient task schedules, where an intelligent scheduler manages the tasks, such as the rate of service schedule, and lists items utilized by users during the data processing and computation through the fog node. Second, the QoS efficient-computation algorithm, which effectively monitors performance according to the indicator (parameter) with the analysis mechanism of quality-of-experience (QoE), has been developed. Third, a framework of blockchain-distributed technology-enabled QoS (QoS-ledger) computation in healthcare applications is proposed in a permissionless public peer-to-peer (P2P) network, which stores medical processed information in a distributed ledger. We have designed and deployed smart contracts for secure medical-data transmission and processing in serverless peering networks and handled overall node-protected interactions and preserved logs in a blockchain distributed ledger. The simulation result shows that QoS is computed on the blockchain public network with transmission power = average of −10 to −17 dBm, jitter = 34 ms, delay = average of 87 to 95 ms, throughput = 185 bytes, duty cycle = 8%, route of delivery and response back variable. Thus, the proposed QoS-ledger is a potential candidate for the computation of quality-of-service that is not limited to e-healthcare distributed applications.

Blockchain Hyperledger with Non-Linear Machine Learning: A Novel and Secure Educational Accreditation Registration and Distributed Ledger Preservation Architecture

“…Because of chain scalability, still, there are no single platforms and no efficient protocols are designed in the centralized system that achieves proper exclusivity. An interoperable solution is surely required at the stage of pervasive education/learning; the efficient distributed blockchainenabled ecosystems require interconnectivity [36,37]. Integrity is the main concern required in the design, creation, maintenance, and deployment of distributed accreditation analytical systems for credentials of candidate certificates to be secure and safe.…”

“…Various educational problems are associated with the current centralized accreditation system, including an analysis system for detecting errors in digital educational transactions, especially keeping secure credential information in central storage and relying on the cloud solution for preservation and security [36,38,40]. In addition, there are inappropriate techniques and inappropriate mechanisms used to register the device, collect universities' records, and accredit it.…”

“…The major challenging aspect of accreditation is to provide candidates' certificatesensitive credentials transparency in a distributed environment [36,37]. The hyperledger sawtooth enables the provision of pre-defined information integrity and confidentiality policies [38].…”

“…Recently, healthcare industries have utilized different mechanisms, procedural domains, criteria of facilities, and systems that are used for processing patient data [9]. Some patients may receive healthcare services at more than one physician's consultancy affiliated with the same hospital.…”

A Dual Incentive Value-Based Paradigm for Improving the Business Market Profitability in Blockchain Token Economy

“…Blockchain 3.0 focuses on using blockchain for various applications in industries other than finance [7]. Currently, Blockchain 3.0 can be well applied in many fields, such as healthcare [8], education [9] and the token economy introduced in this paper. In the blockchain, the token (i.e., Bitcoin) is a medium to stimulate nodes to work for the community more.…”
