decentralised applications
ARTICONF's mission
ARTICONF addresses issues of trust, time-criticality and democratisation for a new generation of federated infrastructure, to fulfil the privacy, robustness, and autonomy related promises that proprietary social media platforms have failed to deliver so far
#CONF is designed to build on top of the current cloud service market and meet the growing demand for trusted execution of cloud SLAs involving multiple, #decentralized service providers.
Is Decentralized Cloud Marketplace a Reality? - ARTICONF
Blockchain is inspiring the emergence of the decentralized cloud marketplace. CONF enhances trustworthiness by introducing a new witness role.

#CONF aims to improve the existing infrastructure support in the ARTICONF tools for social network applications to optimize QoS (Quality of Service) performance metrics as well as ensure fast recovery in the presence of faults or performance drops.
Any chance for #echochambers to access to the #citizenjournalism or crowd journalism?
We try to lower this probability by empowering crowds with democratic mechanisms, user anonimzation and we don’t discriminate users so anyonce can cover a breaking news. #ExpertsVisionChat
The incentive mechanism for different witnesses in CONF is designed so that witnesses will behave honestly to gain the maximum profit. This blockchain-based decentralized cloud market model is proposed to tackle the challenge of detecting SLA violations in a trustworthy way.
Objectives
Transparent, decentralised infrastructure
Simplify the configuration, creation and maintenance of custom blockchain networks by providing a cloud-agnostic Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) toolkit offering permissioned blockchain services for agile decentralised social media platforms.
Improved and trusted participation
ARTICONF creates a network of trusted social media users with an opportunity to generate, share, propagate and verify high-quality content while ensuring no ownership violation.
Democratic and tokenized decision-making
ARTICONF provides personalized recommendations to social media users and enables them to collectively recommend and generate content, flag misinformation and earn rewards in return.
Elastic resource provisioning
Improving efficiency for automating Cloud services, optimizing QoS (Quality of service) performance metrics, controlling the P2P infrastructure, and ensuring fast recovery for decentralized applications.
Cognitive analytics for collaborative economy
Trusted decentralized social network #ARTICONF provides a tokenized decision-making process and improves users' engagement rate and return on collaboration over incentivized and sharing economy through interactive and intelligent analytics.

Use cases
Crowd journalism
Challenges: validate crowdsourced news, find precise and trustworthy crowd-participants and provision time-critical infrastructure resources closer to news location for faster access to breaking news.
Car sharing
Challenges: low public awareness of shared mobility and issues relating to precise planning, optimising business costs, person-to-person lending and collaborative consumption.
Video reviews
Challenges: Contextualised and thematic search of audio-visual metadata in a large video library, and the security and privacy of a scalable business model that rewards users for their interactions.
Smart energy
Challenges: identify the behavioural convergence of the prosumer decisions over a specific smart appliance, and lack of efficient data management to keep track of the amount of energy produced by users.
ARTICONF is a Horizon 2020 project
