Adaptable Blockchain-Based Systems: A Case Study for Product Traceability

Lu, Qinghua, Xu, Xiwei·2017·IEEE Software

Abstract

Tracing the origin of products across complex supply chains requires a transparent, tamper-proof metadata infrastructure that's not only trusted by all the involved parties but also adaptable to changing environments and regulations. Can such advanced infrastructure be implemented in a decentralized way? Qinghua Lu and Xiwei Xu share their story of developing the originChain system, which leverages emerging blockchain technology to do so.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Three other contributions in the first cluster concern traceability in more general supply chain terms.

    “Three other contributions concern the concept of traceability, but in more general terms refer to the supply chain [76,79,80].”

    From A Review of Blockchain-Based Systems in Transportation (2019) · cites this paper as [80]

  • Only three documents in macro-clusters C1 and C2 present a real implementation based on real blockchains.

    “Some of them propose new platforms just at a concept level [45,51,52,75,77,83,84,88,89,91], some of them present proofs of their concepts [76,79,81], and only three of them present a real implementation based on real blockchains: [78,80,82].”

    From A Review of Blockchain-Based Systems in Transportation (2019) · cites this paper as [80]

  • In macro-cluster C1, the only listed paper that introduces a real implementation based on a new blockchain is [80], which introduces the private developed blockchain OriginChain.

    “In detail, for the macro-cluster C 1 , related mostly to traceability problems in supply and logistics, the only listed paper that introduces a real implementation based on a new blockchain is [80], which introduces the private developed blockchain OriginChain.”

    From A Review of Blockchain-Based Systems in Transportation (2019) · cites this paper as [80]

  • [80] has a real implementation based on OriginChain (private blockchain).

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.
