Abstract

The complementarity of distributed ledger technologies such as Blockchain and the Internet of Things has gained increasing attention in the literature. In order to facilitate the immutable validation and registration of the data collected by the devices, the so-called smart contracts have been used and distributed applications have been developed to increase the adhesion of the actors. Thus, this work presents a tool for experimentation to evaluate the performance and scalability of distributed applications in the context of the Internet of Things. The proposed tool is flexible and allows experimentation with different technologies and configurations. This work contributes to the convergence among immutable information recording, deterministic computation, and sensing of physical world quantities.
