An Intelligent Vaccine Distribution Process in COVID-19 Pandemic through Blockchain-SDN Framework from Bangladesh Perspective
Abstract
Currently, vaccine distribution is the most concerning issue of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) diseases in every stage of peoples properly. There are several strategies is proposed by the researchers. Still, the public is facing various difficulties in taking the vaccine. However, the current technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and Blockchain (BC) are the intelligent solution for vaccine distribution efficiently. In light of these considerations, in this paper, we propose the “DistVAC-COVID” architecture incorporating a distributed Blockchain-based SDN-IoT framework for COVID-19's vaccine distribution considerably. In the presented system, the SDN benefits to divide the entire network into two distinct planes such as the data and control plane for distributing COVID data smartly. Further, a distributed Blockchain provides the desired system to be prominently secured and more confidential. Therefore, the “DistVAC-COVID” model combining SDN, IoT, and BC can be handled by several COVID-19 zones-red, hazard, and green securely. Finally, we evaluate the “DistVAC-COVID” architecture via an experimental evaluation process and show the effectiveness of the suggested solution in comparison with baseline system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
