Distributed Sequential Consensus in Networks: Analysis of Partially Connected Blockchains with Uncertainty

Figure 7

Schematic of a possible application of the model developed in this work. Five presence sensors monitor the movement from rooms A, B to D, E (top left panel). A minimal network of three distributed agents—miners (top right panel)—build consistent orderer aggregations of measurements. In the bottom panel we compare the sequence diagrams from the real blockchain and the sequential model.
