Research Interest:
Blockchain (BC) is widely regarded as one of the most groundbreaking technologies in this decade, distinguished by its key attributes of decentralization, security, and accessibility. In this presentation, we aim to share our insights and experiences in examining the performance characteristics of Blockchain applications within Healthcare IoT (IoHT). Our focus will be on critical metrics such as transaction throughput, latency, and resource utilization. We will also discuss our approach to designing comparative experiments, considering parameters such as transaction send rate, block size, consensus mechanisms, and block time; and our investigation of the proof of authority consensus algorithms—namely QBFT, IBFT 2.0, and Clique, which was conducted using Hyperledger Caliper. We will analyze how these parameters influence the performance of a private Hyperledger Besu blockchain. Building on our findings, we have delved into the development of our proposed Hyperledger Besu auto-tuning system, which employs a tunnel-limiter to guide the system toward optimal operational conditions. This leads us to our adaptive BC-parameter-tunable Decentralized framework for IoHT (ABCD-IoHT), designed to enhance the throughput performance of medical healthcare systems while ensuring robust security under varying medical load conditions.
