Item Restricted Integrating Industry 4.0 in Project Management: A Systematic Literature Review(De MontFort University, 2024-09-20) almehaize, Ghannam nasser; Oyinlola, AdewaleThis thesis investigates Industry 4.0 technologies with the aim of integrating them into project management methodologies to improve efficiency, decision-making, and overall project success. The study investigates the existing studies on the influence of these technologies on project management processes and evaluates the present status of their integration across a variety of sectors. This is accomplished via a comprehensive examination of the available literature and studies. Industry 4.0 technologies have the potential to revolutionise project management by enabling the sharing and analysis of real-time data, according to the results. In addition, they present challenges regarding organisational culture, communication, and skill limitations. This thesis shows that project managers need technical understanding, leadership, and flexibility. This thesis ultimately emphasises the potential of Industry 4.0 technologies to enhance project performance, while also emphasising the need for organisations to modify their project management frameworks in order to prosper in a digital environment that is swiftly evolving. In order to enable organisations to fully realise the promise of these technologies for successful and sustainable development, the study's conclusion calls for further research to develop frameworks that facilitate the effective integration of these technologies.18 0Item Restricted SCALABLE NEXT GENERATION BLOCKCHAINS FOR LARGE SCALE COMPLEX CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS AND THEIR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS IN SMART CITIES(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-07-13) Alkhodair, Ahmad; Mohanty, Saraju; Kougianos, EliasThe original FlexiChain and its descendants are a revolutionary distributed ledger technology (DLT) for cyber-physical systems (CPS) and their embedded systems (ES). FlexiChain, a DLT implementation, uses cryptography, distributed ledgers, peer-to-peer communications, scalable networks, and consensus. FlexiChain facilitates data structure agreements. This thesis offers a Block Directed Acyclic Graph (BDAG) architecture to link blocks to their forerunners to speed up validation. These data blocks are securely linked. This dissertation introduces Proof of Rapid Authentication, a novel consensus algorithm. This innovative method uses a distributed file to safely store a unique identifier (UID) based on node attributes to verify two blocks faster. This study also addresses CPS hardware security. A system of interconnected, user-unique identifiers allows each block's history to be monitored. This maintains each transaction and the validators who checked the block to ensure trustworthiness and honesty. We constructed a digital version that stays in sync with the distributed ledger as all nodes are linked by a NodeChain. The ledger is distributed without compromising node autonomy. Moreover, FlexiChain Layer 0 distributed ledger is also introduced and can connect and validate Layer 1 blockchains. This project produced a DAG-based blockchain integration platform with hardware security. The results illustrate a practical technique for creating a system depending on diverse applications' needs. This research's design and execution showed faster authentication, less cost, less complexity, greater scalability, higher interoperability, and reduced power consumption.37 0
