Proposta de Gestão do Ciclo de Vida de Equipamentos de TI com Appendable-block Blockchain
Abstract
Blockchain technology has been successfully applied to various fields that require secure and decentralized storage of information. One such area is product lifecycle management, which traditionally relies on centralized storage. However, using conventional blockchains in this context presents certain challenges, mainly related to performance and latency issues. To address these concerns, new chain topologies have been developed that aim to improve these properties by changing the structure of the chain. One such innovation is the appendable-block blockchain, which separates the insertion of transactions from the block insertion process, allowing new data to be added to an auxiliary chain from the main block. This paper seeks to expand on the studies of this new model by exploring possible contributions and improvements in its storage, persistence, and efficient data access. The paper will also investigate the process of retrieving information from the same context using a case study involving a patent that addresses the storage and retrieval of device lifecycle data.
