Building applications for smart and safe construction with the DECENTER Fog Computing and Brokerage Platform

Applications of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and Blockchain-enabled smart contracts in construction

“…PoC simulation and case study represent the most advanced 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 12 literature in the field with regards nearing application in the real world and are growing in number. Only one paper demonstrates real-world application [21]. This is in agreement with Kuperberg and Geipel ([22], p. 1) who evaluated 31 studies on DLT in the construction sector concluding that "almost all publications describe concepts and challenges, but do not create architectures, designs or product-level implementations".…”

Pareto-Optimised Fog Storage Services with Novel Service-Level Agreement Specification

“…However, the type and amount of data differ between use cases. For instance, a smart and safe construction site that facilitates smart, automated, secure and sustainable building process might operate with more than 500,000 data operations per minute [1]; whereas, a scenario for a smart city crossing environment might operate with significantly lower amounts of data [36]. Due to such significant differences between IoT scenarios, the QoS requirements for data storage and processing differ as well, which represents a challenging task for SLA management.…”

“…The Internet of Things (IoT) as a paradigm facilitates various devices to communicate between each other and also integrate them with various smart applications in practically all domains [1][2][3]. IoT-produced data may be processed and stored starting from the sensors and devices on the field, through different levels of computing infrastructures to the users' smartphones.…”

Fog computing: A taxonomy, systematic review, current trends and research challenges

“…Kochovski and Stankovski [167] designed a Brokerage and DECENTER fog computing platform as per the demands of adaptable use of Artificial intelligence techniques in development and construction schemes. The authors have performed the evaluation of all fog application at the real construction site.…”
