This article contains research questions that I deem interesting and I want to use for my own work in the future.

For Systematic Literature Review

Multi-agent systems and Blockchain Integration

Using the Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) approach, this work breakdown the generic free-form question "what challenges demand the employment of BCT in MSA, and is this employment justified" into structured research questions:

SRQ1: How has the combination of BCT in MAS evolved over the years in terms of when (year) and where (geographical indication of the scientific insti- tute) such research took place?

SRQ2: What are the motivations supporting the employment of blockchain in agent-based systems?

SRQ3: What are the application domains and scenarios used to test or employ blockchain technologies? What are the requirements such approaches aimed at meeting?

SRQ4: What are the mechanisms and related assumptions within the proposed protocols/approaches characterizing the most relevant contributions?

SRQ5: What are the strengths and limitations that such technologies might imply?

SRQ6: What are the stated future research directions and challenges identified by the scientific community?
