    Robust and efficient membership management in large-scale dynamic networks
    (2017-10-01) ;
    Di Fatta, Giuseppe
    Epidemic protocols are a bio-inspired communication and computation paradigm for large-scale networked systems based on randomised communication. These protocols rely on a membership service to build decentralised and random overlay topologies. In large-scale, dynamic network environments, node churn and failures may have a detrimental effect on the structure of the overlay topologies with negative impact on the efficiency and the accuracy of applications. Most importantly, there exists the risk of a permanent loss of global connectivity that would prevent the correct convergence of applications. This work investigates to what extent a dynamic network environment may negatively affect the performance of Epidemic membership protocols. A novel Enhanced Expander Membership Protocol (EMP+) based on the expansion properties of graphs is presented. The proposed protocol is evaluated against other membership protocols and the comparative analysis shows that EMP+ can support faster application convergence and is the first membership protocol to provide robustness against global network connectivity problems.

    Decentralized Network Building Change in Large Manufacturing Companies towards Industry 4.0
    In complex industrial ecosystems together with an increasing global competition, success depends on a complete value chain transformation. The use of Industry 4.0 standards is therefore gradually emerging in many industries to ensure significantly higher factory productivity, flexibility, and efficiency. However, selected methodology and results are required to be studied to fully understand the digital transformation as well as its characteristics. This research presents a system conversion study, from centralized to decentralized systems, using epidemic membership protocols on a large manufacturing company towards Industry 4.0. The system conversion shows that the epidemic membership protocols provide an ability to rewrite the structure of the overlay topology. The experimental results are presented in two categories: (1) convergence speed and (2) accuracy of the epidemic applications. These provide the information for the performance guarantee of the global aggregate computation. The expectation of this paper is to present a preliminary study focusing on the system conversion methodology in the context of Industry 4.0. There are several recent publications based on Industry 4.0; however, nothing has been done to address any methodologies applied in Industry 4.0 or their simulation results.

    Epidemic Algorithms on Distributed Systems Towards Industry 4.0
    In today changing world, with the advent of technology and a challenging competition, reliable information methodologies and tools are required to collaborate big data and various components in both vertical and horizontal integrations over the value chain. Cyber-Physical System or CPS is one of available technologies serving industries' needs and desires. However, its important properties are required to be investigated to fully understand its characteristics and performance. This study present an epidemic-based communication and the results show that the base station could obtain the higher accuracy of the information while the method was adopted.

    Epidemic System Conversion on Industry 4.0's Perspective under Dynamic Network Condition
    In large-scale manufacturing operations with increasing global competition, success depends on a reliable network system to complete a value chain transformation. The use of the Industry 4.0 paradigm is increasingly evolving in many areas of different industries to ensure significant increases in factory productivity, flexibility, and efficiency. Consequently, the system transformation requires a shift from single automated node to a fully integrated system. However, selected methodology and results require study to fully understand the digital transformation as well as its characteristics. This investigation presents a system conversion study, between centralized and decentralized systems, using the concept of epidemic membership protocols in the context of Industry 4.0. This paper proposes the method based on membership protocols focusing on the system conversion methodology under dynamic network condition. The experimental results show that the proposed method provides an ability to rewrite the structure of the network topology with optimal accuracy of epidemic application.

    Accuracy of distributed systems towards industry 4.0: Smart grids and urban drainage systems case studies
    (2018-01-01) ;
    With significantly improving the overall manufacturing operations commonly known in smart factory practices, vertical and horizontal integrations of various components are introduced throughout the entire value chain. The proliferation of smart factory practices introduces the fourth industrial revolution called Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 creates new challenges and the application of networked manufacturing systems is one of the important features required to handle the systems in an efficient way by communicating and processing information to each other. Distributed systems provide coordination to allow the global information to be available for a better decision making and consequently achieving high efficiency. This connectivity helps for a better decision making and therefore achieve high efficiency. However, the evaluation on the accuracy of global information between different architectures of distributed systems (centralized systems and decentralized systems) has little work mentioning in the state of current manufacturing systems under the conception of Industry 4.0. As a result, this research will fill the gap by providing an accuracy of the decentralized system over the centralized system together with their sensitivity analysis. In this study, the decentralized system is built based on the concept of Epidemic protocols or Gossip-based protocols, while the centralized system is a simple client-server. The epidemic protocol is a bio-inspired communication paradigm that imitates the behavior of virus when the outbreak occurs in a community. The accuracy in both systems has been monitored by means of simulations. The effects of message loss to the accuracy of centralized and decentralized systems are studied. By comparing the system accuracy between both systems, it was found that the accuracy of the decentralized system is generally more accurate when the system is used for a long period. The accuracy tends to be lower down especially when the information is not completely distributed, while the accuracy of the centralized system receives an excessive suffer from message loss.

    Applying epidemic algorithm for financial service based on blockchain technology
    (2018-08-13) ; ; ;
    Chatwiriya, Watchara
    Our global market is emerging transformation strategy that can make the difference between success and failure. Smart contract systems through developments of technological innovations are increasingly seen as alternative technologies to impact transactional processes significantly. Blockchain is a smart contract protocol with trust offering the potential for creating new transaction platforms and thus shows a radical change of the current core value creation in third parties. These results in enormous cost and time savings and the reduced risk for the parties. This study proposed a method to improve the efficiency of distributed consensus in blockchains using epidemic algorithm. The results showed that epidemic protocols can distribute the information similar to blockchain.
