In the scope of ubiquitous computing, one key issues is awareness context, which includes diverse aspects user's situation including his activities, physical surroundings, location, emotions and social relations, device network characteristics their interaction with each other. This contextual knowledge typically acquired from physical, virtual or logical sensors. To overcome problems heterogeneity hide complexity, a significant number middleware approaches have been proposed for systematic...

Hyperledger Fabric is currently one of the most popular business Blockchain platforms. With its included functionality executing custom smart contracts, has become widely used frameworks, e.g. for industry 4.0 applications. Though, applications require a previously known data throughput. For potentially interested developer, it not trivial to decide, whether given network configuration will meet required expectations in regards performance. Thus this work shows performance analysis v2.0 and...
