“…A work in progress by Cen et al [30] suggests a BC-based framework to secure inter-organizational BPs by ensuring that external processes are managed and secured by BC. BC is used as a shared database, where data regarding execution states, process transition, and outputs, are kept.…”

“…A supply chain scenario is chosen as a running example, where important aspects are extracted. Like the work mentioned in [30], the first aspect is to keep track of transaction regarding process status. BC is used to record provenance, providing access to partners.…”

“…The approach guarantees trust of milestones, suggesting the set of states based on data updates according to pre and post conditions. It is an upgraded version of the work by Cen et al [30]. However, only methodology is presented while important details such as implementation and evaluation are missing.…”

“…Instead of implementing a modelspecific engine, a process model can be done on the fly based on a mutual agreed shared ledger. This modeling technique is first introduced by Cen et al [30] and its concept is realized by Härer [58]. He opts to use contract-based BP modeling where the model is formed by partners.…”

Blockchain (BC), as an emerging technology, is revolutionizing Business Process Management (BPM) in multiple ways. The main adoption is to serve as a trusted infrastructure to guarantee the trust of collaborations among multiple partners in trustless environments. Especially, BC enables trust of information by using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). With the power of smart contracts, BC enforces the obligations of counterparties that transact in a business process (BP) by programming the contracts as transactions. This paper aims to study the state-of-the-art of BC technologies by (1) exploring its applications in BPM with the focus on how BC provides the trust of BPs in their lifecycles; (2) identifying the relations of BPM as the need and BC as the solution with the assessment towards BPM characteristics; (3) discussing the up-to-date progresses of critical BC in BPM; (4) identifying the challenges and research directions for future advancement in the domain. The main conclusions of our comprehensive review are (1) the study of adopting BC in BPM has attracted a great deal of attention that has been evidenced by a rapidly growing number of relevant articles. (2) The paradigms of BPM over Internet of Things (IoT) have been shifted from persistent to transient, from static to dynamic, and from centralized to decentralized, and new enabling technologies are highly demanded to fulfill some emerging functional requirements (FRs) at the stages of design, configuration, diagnosis, and evaluation of BPs in their lifecycles. (3) BC has been intensively studied and proven as a promising solution to assure the trustiness for both of business processes and their executions in decentralized BPM. (4) Most of the reported BC applications are at their primary stages, future research efforts are needed to meet the technical challenges involved in interoperation, determination of trusted entities, confirmation of time-sensitive execution, and support of irreversibility.INDEX TERMS Blockchain, business process management, smart contracts, and trust assurance.

“…ZhongAn Technology, a China-based technology company, developed a platform to track and record the chicken farming. ey are also developing shared ledger-based business technologies and strategic solutions [34]. Alibaba collaborates with Blackmores and many other Australia and New Zealandbased food producers and suppliers to create a blockchainbased platform that combats the rise of counterfeiters targeting Australian and New Zealand-based food items sold across China on its platform [35] proposed a method to choose validators and a new consensus protocol based on Tendernint with the ability to select a different set of validators for each validation event.…”

Food supply chain plays a vital role in human health and food prices. Food supply chain inefficiencies in terms of unfair competition and lack of regulations directly affect the quality of human life and increase food safety risks. This work merges Hyperledger Fabric, an enterprise-ready blockchain platform with existing conventional infrastructure, to trace a food package from farm to fork using an identity unique for each food package while keeping it uncomplicated. It keeps the records of business transactions that are secured and accessible to stakeholders according to the agreed set of policies and rules without involving any centralized authority. This paper focuses on exploring and building an uncomplicated, low-cost solution to quickly link the existing food industry at different geographical locations in a chain to track and trace the food in the market.
