Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper, we propose a blockchain powered automated self-incited fire detection sensors connected to smart buildings.
This solution is based on utilizing Ethereum smart contracts to coordinate and monitor the interaction between the service
providers, smart connected devices, and the end users. The smart contracts monitor the status of the fire detecting sensors;
interact with a service provider according to pre-negotiated contract terms and conditions, and carries out the maintenance
task in an automated fashion. When a failure occurs within the device, an internal sensor which indicates the failure
generates a request for service on the blockchain. This transaction informs the service provider about the nature of the
failure, identifying the specific device. The service provider can respond to the service request in a timely manner. Upon
completion, the sensor reading indicates the completion of themaintenance/repair work carried out and can release payment
to the service provider on the blockchain. Moreover, the proposed solution automates the payment process between the
client and the service provider. |
