Tartalmi kivonat:Both revolutionary technologies of Fog Computing (FC) and Blockchain (BC) serve as enablers for enhanced, people-centric trusted applications, and they do meet in the provision of higher standards and expectations. In this paper, we address the reliability of fog-enhanced BC systems by analyzing the forking phenomenon under different conditions, and provide a reliable Distributed Ledger (DL) consistency assessment. We use the FoBSim tool that is specifically designed to mimic and emulate realistic FC-BC integration, in which we deploy the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm and analyze the forking probability under fluctuating conditions. Based on our results, we propose an inconsistency formula, which can quantitatively describe how consistent the DL in a BC system can be. Finally, we show how to deploy this formula in a decision making model for indicating optimal deployment features of a BC network in a Fog-enhanced system. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
