Ahmed Mihoob, Carlos Molina-Jimenez (School Of Computing Science,, University Of Newcastle, UK)

TL;DR
This paper proposes a peer-to-peer protocol for online dispute resolution in storage consumption accounting, aiming to resolve conflicts caused by measurement disparities efficiently without court intervention.
Contribution
It introduces a novel peer-to-peer protocol that accounts for causes of measurement disparities to facilitate online dispute resolution in resource accounting.
Findings
Protocol effectively reduces conflicts due to measurement disparities
Converges despite transmission delays and unsynchronized metrics
Enables online resolution, reducing need for court intervention
Abstract
In bilateral accounting of resource consumption both the consumer and provider independently measure the amount of resources consumed by the consumer. The problem here is that potential disparities between the provider's and consumer's accountings, might lead to conflicts between the two parties that need to be resolved. We argue that with the proper mechanisms available, most of these conflicts can be solved online, as opposite to in court resolution; the design of such mechanisms is still a research topic; to help cover the gap, in this paper we propose a peer--to--peer protocol for online dispute resolution over storage consumption. The protocol is peer--to--peer and takes into consideration the possible causes (e.g, transmission delays, unsynchronized metric collectors, etc.) of the disparity between the provider's and consumer's accountings to make, if possible, the two results…
