Abstract System-wide information management (SWIM) is a complex distributed information transfer and sharing system for the next generation of Air Transportation System (ATS). In response to the growing volume of civil aviation air operations, users accessing different authentication domains in the SWIM system have problems with the validity, security, and privacy of SWIM-shared data. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a SWIM cross-domain authentication scheme based on a consistent hashing algorithm on consortium blockchain and designs a blockchain certificate format for SWIM cross-domain authentication. The scheme uses a consistent hash algorithm with virtual… More >

Abstract Smart farming has become a strategic approach of sustainable agriculture management and monitoring with the infrastructure to exploit modern technologies, including big data, the cloud, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Many researchers try to integrate IoT-based smart farming on cloud platforms effectively. They define various frameworks on smart farming and monitoring system and still lacks to define effective data management schemes. Since IoT-cloud systems involve massive structured and unstructured data, data optimization comes into the picture. Hence, this research designs an Information-Centric IoT-based Smart Farming with Dynamic Data Optimization (ICISF-DDO), which enhances the performance More >

Abstract Blockchain technology ensures the security of cross-organizational data sharing in the process of collaborative innovation. It drives the development of collaborative innovation in discrete manufacturing to intelligent innovation. However, collaborative innovation is a multi-role, networked, and open resource-sharing process. Therefore, it is easy to form information barriers and increase the risk of cooperation between organizations. In this paper, we firstly analyze the blockchain-based information management models in the traditional discrete manufacturing collaborative innovation process. Then, we found that in the process of industry-university-research (IUR) collaborative innovation, consensus servers maintain too many connections due to the… More >

Abstract One of the greatest factors that affects the economic condition of a country is its institutions. In the model of good governance, the primary elements for stronger institution include efficiency, transparency, and accountability; and technology plays a major role in improving these elements. However, there are myriad of challenges when it comes to practical integration of technology in these institutions for efficiency. It is more challenging when a country is developing and one that is already weak economically. It is also important to mention that the challenges of digitization in public sector is not limited… More >
