Research on consensus mechanism optimization for IoT blockchain by Qijie SONG, Tieming CHEN, Yuan CHEN, Dongjie MA, Zhengqiu WENG

“…The essence of the blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger system.The Internet of things is interconnected by massive heterogeneous terminals and has natural distributed characteristics.Therefore,the combinedIoT blockchain is widely optimistic.At the same time,due to the heterogeneity of the IoT-aware terminal,the limited computing capacity and the ability of data transmission,the IoT blockchain faces great challenges.The password consensus technology has become a key issue.On the basis of summarizing the current blockchain consensus algorithm,its applicability to the IoT blockchain was analyzed,the current application status of several IoT blockchain platforms and consensus mechanisms was introduced,and the optimization research progress of the consensus mechanismin IoT blockchain was described.Finally,the optimization technology of the IoT blockchain and the potential research directions were summarized.…”

The “national – local” DIALECTIC in the Tunisian electoral laws or how to represent the “people” in post-Ben Ali Tunisia by Eric Gobe

“…The emergence of the « local » in the « national » is translated by the adoption of the first electoral law integrating the issue of the region and by the adoption of a largely decentralized state architecture. The new constitution paved the way for the organization of local collectives directed by elected councils for universal suffrage, and has encouraged actors of the post-Ben Ali political stage to cast a new regard on the effects of electoral methods on the operation of the local as well as national political scene.…”

An incentive mechanism with bandwidth allocation for federated learning by Yingyun GUO, Bo GAO, Zhifei ZHANG, Yu ZHANG, Ke XIONG

“…Federated learning (FL) is an emerging machine learning paradigm that can make full use of crowd sourced mobile resources for training on decentralized data.However, it is challenging to deploy FL over a wireless network because of the limited bandwidth and clients’ selfishness.To address these challenges, an incentive mechanism with bandwidth allocation (IMBA) was proposed.Considering the difference between clients' data quality and computing power, IMBA designs a payment scheme to incentivize high-quality clients to contribute their computing resources, thus improving the training accuracy of the model.By minimizing the weight sum of training time and payment cost, the optimal payment and bandwidth allocation scheme was determined, and the training delay was reduced by optimizing bandwidth allocation.Experiments show that IMBA effectively improves training accuracy, reduces the training delay and helps the server flexibly balance training delay and hiring payment.…”
