Blockchain-Based E-Vote-as-a-Service

Abstract

This article aims at introducing a new configurable and multipurpose electronic voting service based on the blockchain infrastructure. The objective is to design an architecture to automatically translate service configuration defined by the end user into a cloud-based deployable bundle, automating business logic definition, blockchain configuration, and cloud service provider selection. The article presents the preliminary results of the system and a SOA-based services definition implemented with smart contracts.
