Epidemic situations typically demand intensive data collection and management from different locations/entities within a strict time constraint. Such demand can be fulfilled by leveraging the intensive and easy deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The management and containment of such situations also rely on cross-organizational and national collaboration. Thus, this paper proposes an Intelligent-Health (I-Health) system that aims to aggregate diverse e-health entities in a unique national healthcare system by enabling swift, secure exchange and storage of medical data. In particular, we design an automated patients monitoring scheme, at the edge, which enables the prompt discovery, remote monitoring, and fast emergency response for critical medical events, such as emerging epidemics. Furthermore, we develop a blockchain optimization model that aims to optimize medical data sharing between different health entities to provide effective and secure health services. Finally, we show the effectiveness of our system, in adapting to different critical events, while highlighting the benefits of the proposed I-Health system.

Blockchain-enabled Federated Learning (BFL) enables mobile devices to collaboratively train neural network models required by a Machine Learning Model Owner (MLMO) while keeping data on the mobile devices. Then, the model updates are stored in the bl
ockchain in a decentralized and reliable manner. However, the issue of BFL is that the mobile devices have energy and CPU constraints that may reduce the system lifetime and training efficiency. The other issue is that the training latency may increase due to the blockchain mining process. To address these issues, the MLMO needs to (i) decide how much data and energy that the mobile devices use for the training and (ii) determine the block generation rate to minimize the system latency, energy consumption, and incentive cost while achieving the target accuracy for the model. Under the uncertainty of the BFL environment, it is challenging for the MLMO to determine the optimal decisions. We propose to use the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to derive the optimal decisions for the MLMO.
Radio Access Networks (RAN) tends to be more distributed in the 5G and beyond, in order to provide low latency and flexible on-demanding services. In this paper, Blockchain-enabled Radio Access Networks (BE-RAN) is proposed as a novel decentralized R
AN architecture to facilitate enhanced security and privacy on identification and authentication. It can offer user-centric identity management for User Equipment (UE) and RAN elements, and enable mutual authentication to all entities while enabling on-demand point-to-point communication with accountable billing service add-on on public network. Also, a potential operating model with thorough decentralization of RAN is envisioned. The paper also proposed a distributed privacy-preserving P2P communication approach, as one of the core use cases for future mobile networks, is presented as an essential complement to the existing core network-based security and privacy management. The results show that BE-RAN significantly improves communication and computation overheads compared to the existing communication authentication protocols.
Advances in deep neural networks (DNN) greatly bolster real-time detection of anomalous IoT data. However, IoT devices can hardly afford complex DNN models, and offloading anomaly detection tasks to the cloud incurs long delay. In this paper, we prop
ose and build a demo for an adaptive anomaly detection approach for distributed hierarchical edge computing (HEC) systems to solve this problem, for both univariate and multivariate IoT data. First, we construct multiple anomaly detection DNN models with increasing complexity, and associate each model with a layer in HEC from bottom to top. Then, we design an adaptive scheme to select one of these models on the fly, based on the contextual information extracted from each input data. The model selection is formulated as a contextual bandit problem characterized by a single-step Markov decision process, and is solved using a reinforcement learning policy network. We build an HEC testbed, implement our proposed approach, and evaluate it using real IoT datasets. The demo shows that our proposed approach significantly reduces detection delay (e.g., by 71.4% for univariate dataset) without sacrificing accuracy, as compared to offloading detection tasks to the cloud. We also compare it with other baseline schemes and demonstrate that it achieves the best accuracy-delay tradeoff. Our demo is also available online: https://rebrand.ly/91a71
The salient features of blockchain, such as decentralisation and transparency, have allowed the development of Decentralised Trust and Reputation Management Systems (DTRMS), which mainly aim to quantitatively assess the trustworthiness of the network
participants and help to protect the network from adversaries. In the literature, proposals of DTRMS have been applied to various Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) applications, including supply chains, smart cities and distributed energy trading. In this chapter, we outline the building blocks of a generic DTRMS and discuss how it can benefit from blockchain. To highlight the significance of DTRMS, we present the state-of-the-art of DTRMS in various field of CPS applications. In addition, we also outline challenges and future directions in developing DTRMS for CPS.
We argue that there is a hierarchy of levels describing to that particular level relevant features of reality behind the content and behavior of blockchain and smart contracts in their realistic deployment. Choice, design, audit and legal control o
f these systems could be more informed, easier and raised to a higher level, if research on foundations of these descriptions develops and sets the formalisms, tools and standards for such descriptions.
