This research paper delves into the intricate interplay between these two dynamic domains, elucidating the multifaceted dimensions of their integration. In an era marked by the proliferation of IoT devices and the ever-growing need for secure and efficient data management, Blockchain technology offers a compelling solution. Its core attributes, including immutability, transparency, and decentralization, position it as a formidable ally in addressing the inherent security and trust challenges embedded within IoT ecosystems. This paper embarks on a comprehensive journey, guided by empirical analysis, discussions, and user feedback. It scrutinizes the performance metrics, scalability implications, and security enhancements introduced by the integration. It presents tangible evidence of the advantages of Blockchain-IoT synergy through real-world use cases, ranging from supply chain management and healthcare data integrity to smart city traffic optimization. Scalability, privacy concerns, and energy efficiency demand innovative solutions. Regulatory frameworks must evolve to accommodate this emerging convergence, safeguarding data privacy, and security.</p> Yassir Soulaimani Károly Nehéz Copyright (c) 2024 Production Systems and Information Engineering 2024-01-14 2024-01-14 12 1 15 27 10.32968/psaie.2024.1.2 https://ojs.uni-miskolc.hu/index.php/psaie/article/view/2477 <p>In light of the circumstances that Sudan is going through (the internal war between the regular army and the Rapid Support Forces), we had to find a way to continue education in universities by applying the e-learning experience. This study aims to conduct an assessment of the readiness of the University of Gezira in order to identify the challenges that may hinder the implementation of the e-learning process in order to address them at an early date. The results of the study revealed that 94% of the faculty members have a computer, and they have the skills to use it, and 71% have a smartphone (or a tablet). Also, about 83% of the staff members are able to prepare their courses electronically, which is very important for the start of e-learning. Furthermore, there is a need to train staff members to use modern technologies that help them in the e-learning process. Moreover, the results showed that the students are distributed in 17 states, and 73.9% of students are from the state of Al Jazirah. The analysis of the results also showed that the best internet service provider that can be used according to geographical distribution is Zain and Sudani.</p> Gais Alhadi Babikir Mukhtar M. E.
