Blockchain Dividing Based on Node Community Clustering in Intelligent Manufacturing CPS

Abstract

The blockchain technology becomes a key facilitator for Intelligent Manufacturing as it enables intelligent nodes to participate in global manufacturing networks with secure ledgers and smart contracts features. However, Traditional centralized storage cannot meet performance and security requirements and fully distributed storage consumes a large amount of computing, storage and network resources, which is inefficient and difficult to implement. In this paper, we propose a clustering strategy on node community clustering by constructing a trust model based on the decentralization of blockchain technology. We introduce a multi-chain storage structure. Our experiments show that the proposed strategy reduces data synchronization time and storage space, improves system performance by enabling efficient parallel processing.

“…Li et al [97] propose Node Community Clustering as a means of making BC more efficient. Nodes are placed on the same chain based on their communication tightness threshold.…”

“…Li et al's [97]'s concept of using Node Community Clustering and BC-dividing strategy was introduced in Section II. It is designed to address storage problems and to ease pressure on CPS.…”

Convergence of Blockchain and Edge Computing for Secure and Scalable IIoT Critical Infrastructures in Industry 4.0

“…[146] presented a survey of IoT applications in blockchain systems. The survey did cover the direct acyclic graph (DAG) based distributed ledger technology (DLT), along with the fast growing IOTA [134], [135] Federated blockchains [133], [136], [137], [138] Multiple chains [139], [140], [141], [142], [143] Consensus Stellar [136], Ripple [137], CAPER [138] Database tech. Sharding [144] Transaction reordering [145] Tangle [134] implementation.…”

“…Delegating the execution of some transactions from the main blockchain to a set of sidechains [140], or called parachains in Polkadot [141] is another well known approach. A recent work [142] on the multi-chain structure, in the context of industrial Internet, proposed a node-clustering strategy to reduce cross-chain interactions and improve throughput. The delayed-replication algorithm by Hellings and Sadoghi [143] aimed to improve the efficiency of processing read-only workloads.…”
