Reliable Emergency Rescue Model Of Uavs Based On Blockchain, Mengyao Du, Kai Xu, Miao Zhang, Xiang Fu, Quanjun Yin

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Natural disasters may unpredictably disrupt ground communication infrastructure and transportation systems, and UAVs emergency response can deal with such uncertainties and highly dynamic scenarios. Aiming at the robustness requirements of decentralized rescue systems. UAV emergency rescue chain (UERChain) based on blockchain technology is proposed. By deploying UAV backbone nodes within a layered local network, the smart contracts for managing reputation considering UAV social relationships are designed. The blockchain is employed as a trust mechanism to realize the trustworthy interactions among distributed UAVs. Experimental results show that, UERChain has higher robustness, and within controllable resource constraints, the reputation management and …

Reinforcing Digital Trust For Cloud Manufacturing Through Data Provenance Using Ethereum Smart Contracts, Trupti Narayan Rane

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Cloud Manufacturing(CMfg) is an advanced manufacturing model that caters to fast-paced agile requirements (Putnik, 2012). For manufacturing complex products that require extensive resources, manufacturers explore advanced manufacturing techniques like CMfg as it becomes infeasible to achieve high standards through complete ownership of manufacturing artifacts (Kuan et al., 2011). CMfg, with other names such as Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) and Cyber Manufacturing (NSF, 2020), addresses the shortcoming of traditional manufacturing by building a virtual cyber enterprise of geographically distributed entities that manufacture custom products through collaboration.

With manufacturing venturing into cyberspace, Digital Trust issues concerning product quality, data, and intellectual …

Research On Collaborative Task Allocation Method Of Multiple Uavs Based On Blockchain, Shuangcheng Niu, Yuqiang Jin, Kunhu Kou

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The autonomous collaborative control of a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system lacks a unified underlying technology platform and faces single point failure and information security threats. In order to solve these problems, an idea to build collaborative task planning platforms based on blockchain technology is proposed. With thecollaborative task allocation of multiple UAVs as research objects, an online, safe, high-efficiency, and real-time task allocation method is designed. The contract network task allocation algorithm is described as a smart contract, and system consensus is reached based on the blockchain consensus algorithm. In addition, …
