Taxonomie des Vulnérabilités d'Incitations dans la Blockchain

Ce papier présente une taxonomie des vulnérabilités d'incitations qui peuvent affecter les blockchains publiques et consortium. Cette taxonomie a pour but d'aider les chercheurs et développeurs a mieux comprendre les différentes menaces qui pèsent …

Fully Autonomous Trustworthy Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Teamwork: A Research Guideline Using Level 2 Blockchain

The vast range of possible fully autonomous multiunmanned aerial vehicle (multi-UAV) operations is creating a new and expanding market where technological advances are happening at a breakneck pace. The integration of UAVs in airspaces (not just for …

Proof-of-Work is a Stigmergic Consensus Algorithm: Unlocking Its Potential

The proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm has been initially used in Bitcoin and is now one of the mainstream consensus algorithms to create immutable ledgers of transactions. However, it is still not very well understood, and as such, its entire strength …

AGR4BS: A Generic Multi-Agent Organizational Model for Blockchain Systems

Blockchain is a very attractive technology since it maintains a public, append-only, immutable and ordered log of transactions which guarantees an auditable ledger accessible by anyone. Blockchain systems are inherently interdisciplinary since they …

On Using Blockchains for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Drones: An Architectural Study

Beyond Visual Line of Sight operation enables drones to surpass the limits imposed by the reach and constraints of their operator's eyes. It extends their range and, as such, productivity, and profitability. Drones operating BVLOS include a variety …

Proof-of-Work as a Stigmergic Consensus Algorithm: Extended Abstract

In this paper, we make a theoretical analysis from a coordination perspective and conclude that the Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm is a stigmergic consensus algorithm where the trace left by an action in the blockchain through indirect coordination of …

On Using Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of Blockchain Systems

An invited talk discussing the potential of using agent-based modeling and simulation for robotic blockchain systems.

An Agent-Oriented, Blockchain-Based Design of the Interbank Money Market Trading System

When studying the interbank money market (IMM), it is common to model banks as agents interacting through loans to tackle its complexity. However, the use of agent abstraction in the IMM is mostly limited to some specific cases. Besides, recent …

Modeling and Simulating Blockchain Systems

The short presentation discusses the potential of using agent-based modeling and simulation for studying blockchain systems.
