Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Blockchain technology and machine learning are pivotal in advancing supply chain management (SCM) across various industries, aligning with Industry 4.0 and 5.0 principles. This Special Issue explores novel alternatives for integrating these technologies using mathematical methods to address the challenges posed by digital transformation in the industry. The focal point of this issue is the dependable techniques of deep learning and/or machine learning for industry using the blockchain method, which enhances SCM efficiency through improved document control, traceability, loading processes and collaborative workflows by providing a secure framework that facilitates data integration among logistics stakeholders.
This issue focuses on the architectural design of dependable systems and discusses its role in creating trusted computing environments within industrial settings. Comparative analyses with existing literature highlight the innovative aspects and superior performance of systems in operational dependability and decision making. Additionally, it sets the stage for future research by further discussing the integration of key performance indicators (KPIs) and decision support systems (DSSs) to enhance predictive capabilities and multi-criteria decision making processes.
This Special Issue invites original research and review articles demonstrating how blockchain and machine learning revolutionize SCM, potentially transforming industrial applications through enhanced data-driven decision making and operational efficiency.
