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...
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...
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...
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...
