A new paper published on arXiv proposes a formal ontology to define decentralization in computer science, addressing the ambiguity surrounding the concept across various domains like AI, blockchain, and IoT. The research identifies the "Decentralization Problem" arising from inconsistent definitions and conflation with related concepts. The proposed framework uses a graph-based ontology and introduces two metrics, Void Tolerance and Imperviousness, to evaluate decentralization, demonstrating its utility with instantiations in federated learning and blockchain architectures.
