Blockchain is widely adopted for decentralized transaction management in systems like Transactive Energy (TE). Unfortunately, conventional blockchains with sequential models and restrictive participation rules do not meet energy sector requirements....
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools and universities across the world have had to switch to online learning, which is offered either synchronously or asynchronously. This study examined the role of self-regulation on students’ performance in each o...
The nature of contemporary spatial data infrastructures lies in the provision of geospatial information in an on-demand fashion. Although recent applications identified the need to react to real-time information in a time-critical way, research effor...
Dumbo-NG is a high-performance asynchronous atomic broadcast protocol that executes transaction dissemination and agreement concurrently. However, each sender still broadcasts complete transaction batches, which can impose substantial bandwidth press...
Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are interconnected objects embedded with sensors and software, enabling data collection and exchange. These devices encompass a wide range of applications, from household appliances to industrial systems, designed to...
Mission-oriented UAV networks operate in nonsecure, complex environments with time-varying network partitioning and node trustworthiness. UAV networks are thus essentially asynchronous distributed systems with the Byzantine General problem, whose ava...
The paper introduces a novel consensus algorithm named MRPBFT, which is derived from the HotStuff consensus protocol and improved upon to address security deficiencies in traditional consensus algorithms within the domain of digital asset transaction...
The swift development of digital financial services has increased transaction volumes and heightened system performance requirements. Cardless cash deposit transactions at PT Bank XYZ have significantly increased since 2022. This growth necessitates...
Ethereum’s smart contracts operate on directly addressable storage that is represented as tries. The performance of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) suffers from slow storage access due to trie encoding, which hampers transaction throughput a...
Recent Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) State Machine Replication (SMR) protocols increasingly focus on scalability and security to meet the growing demand for Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) applications across various domains. Current BFT consens...
A distributed system guarantees the acceptance of Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) for information transmission. Practical BFT (pBFT) and asynchronous BFT (aBFT) are among the various available forms of BFT. Distributed systems generally share informa...
Cross-chain analytics increasingly demand continuous joins across ledgers with asynchronous state evolution. Existing solutions, however, typically assume static snapshots or neglect temporal alignment, yielding semantically inconsistent results when...
The rapid advancement of internet technology has transformed the tourism industry from traditional offline services to digital networked, and intelligent platforms. WebGIS has become critical infrastructure for tourism information retrieval and spati...
Banking data centers generate heterogeneous IT operational streams from servers, network devices, edge nodes, and business terminals. Existing detectors are vulnerable to asynchronous sampling and unreliable channels, while separate root-cause and la...
In response to the recent formalization of Filipino Sign Language (FSL) and the lack of comprehensive studies, this paper introduces a real-time FSL gesture recognition system. Unlike existing systems, which are often limited to static signs and asyn...
Autonomous AI agents capable of holding digital assets, signing transactions, and executing smart contracts on public blockchain networks have moved from research prototypes to active deployment over the past two years. Despite this pace of adoption,...
The transition toward decentralized, data-intensive power systems is renewing interest in blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) capable of supporting trustworthy, high-frequency energy and financial transactions. Building on a prior ov...
The classic design of the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) protocol relies on a centralized primary node, which not only creates a performance bottleneck but also introduces severe data censorship risks, threatening the data integrity and s...
Dynamic warehouse task allocation must coordinate loading, transport and unloading robots under changing conditions. We propose a versioned neuro-symbolic architecture in which DeepSeek proposes facts and restricted rules, an authenticated semantic s...
