Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Industrial processes are facing major changes with the arrival of a new revolution: Industry 4.0. By introducing blockchain technology on this environment, conditions are met to accelerate and improve the concepts associated with this new revolution. By looking at industries as an intelligent ambient, where there is a big amount of data being exchanged and created, is possible to gather data and create knowledge about the interactions, and other entities. In this work we propose a model that uses blockchain and multi-agent systems to help represent an entity in a network of entities and help the decision-making process by providing additional knowledge.
