论文摘要
区块链体系结构有望具有破坏性的创新，但实际上它们对基于经典服务的应用程序构成了许多架构限制，并显示了相当大的设计，实施和开销。此外，此类开销与用户福利之间的关系尚不清楚。为了阐明上述关系，设计并部署了基于服务的区块链体系结构，作为现实生活实验中的实地研究的一部分。然后，进行了一种观察方法，以详细说明有关基于服务的区块链体系结构的技术感知能力。证据表明，原则上，所得的架构与其他不太复杂的等效物没有不同。此外，面向区块链的设计所带来的建筑限制需要额外的努力，即使是最简单的功能。我们得出的结论是，应进一步的研究用于进一步阐明我们作为本研究的一部分所学的设计原则以及面向区块链的服务设计和运营所带来的任何权衡。
Blockchain architectures promise disruptive innovation but factually they pose many architectural restrictions to classical service-based applications and show considerable design, implementation, and operations overhead. Furthermore, the relation between such overheads and user benefits is not clear yet. To shed light on the aforementioned relations, a service-based blockchain architecture was designed and deployed as part of a field study in real-life experimentation. An observational approach was then performed to elaborate on the technology-acceptance of the service-based blockchain architecture in question. Evidence shows that the resulting architecture is, in principle, not different than other less complex equivalents; furthermore, the architectural limitations posed by the blockchain-oriented design demand a significant additional effort to be put onto even the simplest of functionalities. We conclude that further research shall be invested in clarifying further the design principles we learned as part of this study as well as any trade-offs posed by blockchain-oriented service design and operation.
