TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to analyze the current research trends on the usage of BC-related approaches and technologies in an IoT context, and point out the main open issues and future research directions.

TL;DR: The proposed research work is focused on the design and development of a practical solution, called Sophos-MS, able to integrate augmented reality contents and intelligent tutoring systems with cutting-edge fruition technologies for operators’ support in complex man-machine interactions.

TL;DR: The principles and literature characterizing FC are described, highlighting six IoT application domains that may benefit from the use of this paradigm, and an overview of existing FC software and hardware platforms for the IoT is provided.

TL;DR: A software connector has been designed and developed to connect an Ethereum-like blockchain with the enterprises’ information systems to allow companies to share information with their partners with different levels of visibility and to check data authenticity, integrity and invariability over time through the blockchain, thus building trust.

TL;DR: The Value Sensitive Design (VSD) approach as mentioned in this paper is proposed as a principled framework to illustrate how technologies enabling human-machine symbiosis in the Factory of the Future can be designed to embody elicited human values and to illustrate actionable steps that engineers and designers can take in their design projects.
