ABSTRACT Blockchain (BC) systems are increasingly used by consortia to monitor ex‐post opportunism in food supply chains. BC systems differ for BC technical characteristics, complementary technologies, and organizational tools. Yet, little is empirically known about the link between different BC system designs and the context where they are implemented

Finding succinct ordered minimal perfect hash functions [PDF]
Abstract An ordered minimal perfect hash table is one in which no collisions occur among a predefined set of keys, no space is unused and the data are placed in the table in order. A new method for creating ordered minimal perfect hash functions is presented.
