Abstract:
According to various examples, an operational constraint associated with an operational function—e.g., a virtual network function—implemented on a field device can be configured. According to further examples, the fulfillment of the operational constraint can be tracked. For these purposes, a distributed database is used, e.g., a blockchain.
