Ethereum-based cryptocurrency reliability assessment method

Simulation Method for Reliability Assessment

This paper describes a simulation method for reliability assessment of electrical distribution systems. The method has been implemented in the reliability assessment tool RADPOW which now is able to perform both analytical and simulation evaluations. The implemented method is validated by comparing results from application studies made for an electrical distribution system in the Stockholm area...

Towards Consistency-Based Reliability Assessment

1. MOTIVATION Merging information provided by several sources is an important issue and merging techniques have been extensively studied. When the reliability of the sources is not known, one can apply merging techniques such as majority or arbitration merging or distancebased merging for solving conflicts between information. At the opposite, if the reliability of the sources is known, either ...

Matrix-based System Reliability Method

Risk assessment of urban infrastructure networks under natural and man-made hazards is often performed by repeated computational simulations based on random samples of hazard intensities and corresponding component status. This sampling-based approach may prevent near-real-time application of probabilistic methods to hazard mitigation of infrastructure networks and risk-informed decision suppor...

A Delay-Tolerant Payment Scheme Based on the Ethereum Blockchain

Banking as an essential service can be hard to access in remote, rural regions where the network connectivity is intermittent. Although micro-banking has been made possible by SMS or USSD messages in some places, their security flaws and session-based nature prevent them from a wider adoption. Global level cryptocurrencies enable low-cost, secure and pervasive money transferring among distribut...
