Transactional Dynamics in Hyperledger Fabric: A Stochastic Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Permissioned Blockchains

Blockchain, often integrated with distributed systems and security enhancements, has significant potential in various industries. However, environmental concerns and the efficiency of consortia-controlled permissioned networks remain critical issues. We use a Stochastic Petri Net model to analyze transaction flows in Hyperledger Fabric networks, achieving a 95% confidence interval for response times. This model enables administrators to assess the impact of system changes on resource utilization. Sensitivity analysis reveals major factors influencing response times and throughput. Our case studies demonstrate that block size can alter throughput and response times by up to 200%, underscoring the need for performance optimization with resource efficiency.

Optimal Resource Utilization in Hyperledger Fabric: A Comprehensive SPN-Based Performance Evaluation Paradigm

Hyperledger Fabric stands as a leading framework for permissioned blockchain systems, ensuring data security and auditability for enterprise applications. As applications on this platform grow, understanding its complex configuration concerning various blockchain parameters becomes vital. These configurations significantly affect the system's performance and cost. In this research, we introduce a Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) model to analyze Hyperledger Fabric's performance, considering variations in blockchain parameters, computational resources, and transaction rates. We provide case studies to validate the utility of our model, aiding blockchain administrators in determining optimal configurations for their applications. A key observation from our model highlights the block size's role in system response time. We noted an increased mean response time, between 1 to 25 seconds, due to variations in transaction arrival rates.

FH-DRL: Exponential-Hyperbolic Frontier Heuristics with DRL for accelerated Exploration in Unknown Environments

Autonomous robot exploration in large-scale or cluttered environments remains a central challenge in intelligent vehicle applications, where partial or absent prior maps constrain reliable navigation. This paper introduces FH-DRL, a novel framework that integrates a customizable heuristic function for frontier detection with a Twin Delayed DDPG (TD3) agent for continuous, high-speed local navigation. The proposed heuristic relies on an exponential-hyperbolic distance score, which balances immediate proximity against long-range exploration gains, and an occupancy-based stochastic measure, accounting for environmental openness and obstacle densities in real time. By ranking frontiers using these adaptive metrics, FH-DRL targets highly informative yet tractable waypoints, thereby minimizing redundant paths and total exploration time. We thoroughly evaluate FH-DRL across multiple simulated and real-world scenarios, demonstrating clear improvements in travel distance and completion time over frontier-only or purely DRL-based exploration. In structured corridor layouts and maze-like topologies, our architecture consistently outperforms standard methods such as Nearest Frontier, Cognet Frontier Exploration, and Goal Driven Autonomous Exploration. Real-world tests with a Turtlebot3 platform further confirm robust adaptation to previously unseen or cluttered indoor spaces. The results highlight FH-DRL as an efficient and generalizable approach for frontier-based exploration in large or partially known environments, offering a promising direction for various autonomous driving, industrial, and service robotics tasks.

System Identification of NN-based Model Reference Control of RUAV during Hover

UAV control system is a huge and complex system, and to design and test a UAV control system is time-cost and money-cost. This paper considered the simulation of identification of a nonlinear system dynamics using artificial neural networks approach. This experiment develops a neural network model of the plant that we want to control. In the control design stage, experiment uses the neural network plant model to design (or train) the controller. We use Matlab to train the network and simulate the behavior. This chapter provides the mathematical overview of MRC technique and neural network architecture to simulate nonlinear identification of UAV systems. MRC provides a direct and effective method to control a complex system without an equation-driven model. NN approach provides a good framework to implement MEC by identifying complicated models and training a controller for it.
