The rapid development of artificial intelligence has pushed the Internet of Things (IoT) into a new stage. Facing with the explosive growth of data and the higher quality of service required by users, edge computing and caching are regarded as promising solutions. However, the resources in edge nodes (ENs) are not inexhaustible. In this paper, we propose an incentive-aware blockchain-assisted intelligent edge caching and computation offloading scheme for IoT, which is dedicated to providing a secure and intelligent solution for collaborative ENs in resource optimization and controls. Specifically, we jointly optimize offloading and caching decisions as well as computing and communication resources allocation to minimize the total cost for tasks completion in the EN. Furthermore, a blockchain incentive and contribution co-aware federated deep reinforcement learning algorithm is designed to solve this optimization problem. In this algorithm, we construct an incentive-aware blockchain-assisted collaboration mechanism which operates during local training, with the aim to strengthen the willingness of ENs to participate in collaboration with security guarantee. Meanwhile, a contribution-based federated aggregation method is developed, in which the aggregation weights of EN gradients are based on their contributions, thereby improving the training effect. Finally, compared with other baseline schemes, the numerical results prove that our scheme has an efficient optimization utility of resources with significant advantages in total cost reduction and caching performance.

As a future energy system, the smart grid is designed to improve the efficiency of traditional power systems while providing more stable and reliable services. However, this efficient and reliable service relies on collecting and analyzing users’ electricity consumption data frequently, which induces various security and privacy threats. To address these challenges, we propose a double-blockchain assisted secure and anonymous data aggregation scheme for fog-enabled smart grid named DA-SADA. Specifically, we design a three-tier architecture-based data aggregation framework by integrating fog computing and the blockchain, which provides strong support for achieving efficient and secure data collection in smart grids. Subsequently, we develop a secure and anonymous data aggregation mechanism with low computational overhead by jointly leveraging the Paillier encryption, batch aggregation signature and anonymous authentication. In particular, the system achieves fine-grained data aggregation and provides effective support for power dispatching and price adjustment by the designed double-blockchain and two-level data aggregation. Finally, the superiority of the proposed scheme is illustrated by a series of security and computation cost analyses.

The wealth of user data acts as a fuel for network intelligence toward the sixth generation wireless networks (6G). Due to data heterogeneity and dynamics, decentralized data management (DM) is desirable for achieving transparent data operations across network domains, and blockchain can be a promising solution. However, the increasing data volume and stringent data privacy-preservation requirements in 6G bring significantly technical challenge to balance transparency, efficiency, and privacy requirements in decentralized blockchain-based DM. In this paper, we propose blockchain solutions to address the challenge. First, we explore the consensus protocols and scalability mechanisms in blockchains and discuss the roles of DM stakeholders in blockchain architectures. Second, we investigate the authentication and authorization requirements for DM stakeholders. Third, we categorize DM privacy requirements and study blockchain-based mechanisms for collaborative data processing. Subsequently, we present research issues and potential solutions for blockchain-based DM toward 6G from these three perspectives. Finally, we conclude this paper and discuss future research directions.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergency, many hospitals were built or renovated around the world to meet the challenges posed by the rising number of infected cases. Environmental management in the hospital life cycle is vital in preventing nosocomial infection and includes many infection control procedures. In certain urgent situations, a hospital must be completed quickly, and work process approval and supervision must therefore be accelerated. Thus, many works cannot be checked in detail. This results in a lack of work liability control and increases the difficulty of ensuring the fulfillment of key infection prevention measures. This study investigates how blockchain technology can transform the work quality inspection workflow to assist in nosocomial infection control under a fast delivery requirement. A blockchain-based life-cycle environmental management framework is proposed to track the fulfillment of crucial infection control measures in the design, construction, and operation stages of hospitals. The proposed framework allows for work quality checking after the work is completed, when some work cannot be checked on time. Illustrative use cases are selected to demonstrate the capabilities of the developed solution. This study provides new insights into applying blockchain technology to address the challenge of environmental management brought by rapid delivery requirements.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused severe human casualties and economic losses. Strengthening research on the coordination of public health security emergency information and building a more efficient and credible emergency information sharing system have become the core issues to optimize the public health security information management in China. This study analyzes the structure and connotations of public health security emergency information and proposes a new structure for emergency information management of sudden epidemics in China. We create a hierarchical blockchain model for information sharing among emergency response departments based on the blockchain distributed trust mechanism and elaborate the emergency information consortium blockchain, block structure, and implementation of the side chain interaction mechanism. Moreover, the uploading, sharing, downloading, and backtracking processes of emergency information are presented. Using the COVID-19 epidemic control in Nanjing as an example, we verify the validity of this model through scenario simulation and propose policy recommendations for responding to the epidemic. This study is expected to provide a decision-making reference and feasible path for building a new public health information system in China that meets the needs of prevention and control of major epidemics.

Engineering 2021, Volume 7, Issue 9, Pages 1212-1223 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2021.04.021
With the concepts of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing gaining popularity, there is a growing notion that conventional manufacturing will witness a transition toward a new paradigm, targeting innovation, automation, better response to customer needs, and intelligent systems. Within this context, this review focuses on the concept of cyber-physical production system (CPPS) and presents a holistic perspective on the role of the CPPS in three key and essential drivers of this transformation: data-driven manufacturing, decentralized manufacturing, and integrated blockchains for data security. The paper aims to connect these three aspects of smart manufacturing and proposes that through the application of data-driven modeling, CPPS will aid in transforming manufacturing to become more intuitive and automated. In turn, automated manufacturing will pave the way for the decentralization of manufacturing. Layering blockchain technologies on top of CPPS will ensure the reliability and security of data sharing and integration across decentralized systems. Each of these claims is supported by relevant case studies recently published in the literature and from the industry; a brief on existing challenges and the way forward is also
provided.

An evaluation method for link importance based on the characteristic of network communication
Jiang Yu,Hu Aiqun,He Ming
Strategic Study of CAE 2009, Volume 11, Issue 9, Pages 64-67
A method for finding the most vital edge based on the characteristic of network communication is proposed. The link importance is determined by its using frequency in all-pairs shortest paths and the most vital edge results in the highest frequency. Without the commonly used edge-deletion and edge-contraction methods, the proposed algorithm directly reflects the edge's contribution to the network communication and the relative importance of the two edges in the network can be evaluated. The algorithm analyses and the experimental results show that this algorithm overcomes the currently existent problems and provides a more reasonable principle for ranking edges which is consistent with our intuitive judgments.
