Abstract
This paper presents a simulation-based methodology to evaluate the performance of a privacy-compliant edge-blockchain architecture for smart city environments. The proposed model combines edge computing with a private, permissioned blockchain to ensure low-latency processing, secure data management, and verifiable transactions. Using a discrete-event simulation framework, we analyze the behavior of the system under realistic workloads and time-varying traffic conditions. The model captures edge operations, including preprocessing and cryptographic tasks, as well as blockchain validation using Proof of Stake consensus. Several experiments explore saturation thresholds, resource utilization, and latency dynamics, under both synthetic and realistic traffic profiles. Results reveal how architectural bottlenecks shift depending on resource allocation and input rate, and demonstrate the importance of balanced dimensioning between edge and blockchain layers. © ECMS Marco Scarpa, Salvatore Cavalieri, Salvatore Serrano, Fabrizio De Vita (Editors) 2025. - DetailsCampanile, L., Gribaudo, M., Iacono, M., & Mastroianni, M.

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is a well established approach used for the implementation of surveillance systems that are suitable for monitoring large portions of territory. Current developments allow the design of battery powered IoT nodes that can communicate over the network with low energy requirements and locally perform some computing and coordination task, besides running sensing and related processing: it is thus possible to implement edge computing oriented solutions on IoT, if the design encompasses both hardware and software elements in terms of sensing, processing, computing, communications and routing energy costs as one of the quality indices of the system. In this paper we propose a modeling approach for edge computing IoT-based monitoring systems energy related characteristics, suitable for the analysis of energy levels of large battery powered monitoring systems with dynamic and reactive computing workloads. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. - DetailsAbate, C., Campanile, L., & Marrone, S.

Abstract
Modern predictive maintenance is the convergence of several technological trends: developing new techniques and algorithms can be very costly due to the need for a physical prototype. This research has the final aim to build a simulation-based software framework for modeling and analysing complex systems and for defining predictive maintenance algorithms. By the usage of simulation, quantitative evaluation of the dependability of such systems will be possible. The ERTMS/ETCS dependability case study is presented to prove the applicability of the software. © 2020 IEEE.
