Semantic-enhanced blockchain technology for smart cities and communities

چکیده
Large-scale transactional systems still suffer from not viable trust management strategies. Given its intrinsic characteristics, blockchain technology appears as interesting from this perspective. A semantic layer built upon a basic blockchain infrastructure would join the benefits of flexible resource/service discovery and validation by consensus. This paper proposes a novel Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) based on a semantic blockchain. Registration, discovery, selection and payment operations are implemented as smart contracts, allowing decentralized execution and trust. Potential applications include material and immaterial resource marketplaces and trustless collaboration among autonomous entities, spanning many areas of interest for smart cities and communities.

متن کاملA First Step in the Co-Evolution of Blockchain and Ontologies: Towards Engineering an Ontology of Governance at the Blockchain Protocol Level
At the beginning of 2018, there is a growing belief that blockchain technologies constitute a revolutionary innovation in how we transfer value electronically. In that vein, blockchain may be a suitable complement to ontologies to achieve a big part of Tim Berners-Lee’s vision of the semantic Web. We believe that if this complementarity is to be achieved blockchain and ontologies must co-evolve...
متن کاملSemantic Blockchain to Improve Scalability in the Internet of Things
Generally scarce computational and memory resource availability is a well known problem for the IoT, whose intrinsic volatility makes complex applications unfeasible. Noteworthy efforts in overcoming unpredictability (particularly in case of large dimensions) are the ones integrating Knowledge Representation technologies to build the so-called Semantic Web of Things (SWoT). In spite of allowed ...

In recent decades, video surveillance systems have an increasing development that are used to prevent crime and manage facilities with rapid diffusion of (CCTV)cameras to prevent crime and manage facilities. The video stored in the video surveillance system should be managed comfortably, but sometimes the movies are leaking out to unauthorized people or by unauthorized people, thus violating i...
متن کاملInternational Challenges of Smart Cities
The world’s urban population is expected to be proliferated due to raised use of energy, increased air pollution, increasing traffic in urban areas, increasing usage of food, and reduced food production. There are numerous available solutions in this field, but achieving smart cities is one the furthermost effective ways. Smart city has improved ICT infrastructure as a versatile, reliable, chan...
