Abstract

Disclosed is a distributed computer system that comprises worker nodes, wherein the plurality of worker nodes are autonomous economic agents (AEAs), wherein the distributed computer system is configured to use the plurality of worker nodes for fulfilling a service request, the system further comprising a distributed ledger arrangement for aggregating information relating to the service request from the plurality of worker nodes, wherein the system is configured to execute at least one smart contract using the distributed ledger arrangement for aggregation; at least one secondary distributed ledger for coordinating aggregation of information relating to the service request from the plurality of worker nodes that are configured to fulfill at least a part of the service request and provide corresponding information to the distributed computer system for aggregation via the distributed ledger arrangement

Claims (14)

1 . A distributed computer system that comprises a plurality of worker nodes that are coupled together via a data communication network to exchange data therebetween, wherein the worker nodes include computing arrangements and local databases to process and store data therein, wherein the plurality of worker nodes are autonomous economic agents (AEAs), wherein the distributed computer system is configured to use the plurality of worker nodes for fulfilling a service request, the system further comprising

a distributed ledger arrangement for aggregating information relating to the service request from the plurality of worker nodes, wherein the system is configured to execute at least one smart contract using the distributed ledger arrangement for aggregation; and

at least one secondary distributed ledger for coordinating aggregation of information relating to the service request from the plurality of worker nodes that are configured to fulfill at least a part of the service request and provide corresponding information to the distributed computer system for aggregation via the distributed ledger arrangement.

2 . A distributed computer system of claim 1 , further comprising a data processing arrangement for executing at least one smart contract using the distributed ledger arrangement for aggregation.

3 . A distributed computer system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of worker nodes are configured to execute supplementary tasks relating to the service request.

4 . A distributed computer system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of worker nodes are communicably interconnected using the distributed computer system for collective execution of the service request.

5 . A distributed computer system of claim 1 , wherein the service request includes at least one of: a time needed for providing the service; a price associated with the service; a quality associated with the service; at least one preference associated with the service.

6 . A method for operating a distributed computer system that comprises a plurality of worker nodes that are coupled together via a data communication network to exchange data therebetween, wherein the worker nodes include computing arrangements and local databases to process and store data therein, wherein the plurality of worker nodes are autonomous economic agents (AEAs), wherein the distributed computer system is configured to use the plurality of worker nodes for fulfilling a service request, wherein the method comprises

providing the distributed computer system with a distributed ledger arrangement for aggregating information relating to the service request from the plurality of worker nodes, wherein the system is configured to execute at least one smart contract using the distributed ledger arrangement for aggregation; and

using at least one secondary distributed ledger for coordinating aggregation of information relating to the service request from the plurality of worker nodes that are configured to fulfill at least a part of the service request and provide corresponding information to the distributed computer system for aggregation via the distributed ledger arrangement.

7 . A method of claim 6 , further comprising providing the distributed computer system with a data processing arrangement for executing at least one smart contract using the distributed ledger arrangement for aggregation.

8 . A method of claims 6 , wherein the plurality of worker nodes are configured to execute supplementary tasks relating to the service request.

9 . A method of claim 6 , wherein method comprises the communicably interconnecting the plurality of worker nodes using the distributed computer system for collective execution of the service request.

10 . A method of claim 6 , wherein the service request includes at least one of: a time needed for providing the service; a price associated with the service; a quality associated with the service; at least one preference associated with the service.
