AI-Enabled ICT Resilience Architecture for High-Availability, Secure, and Blockchain-Assured Communication Systems

This research proposes a unified AI-Enabled ICT Resilience Architecture for next-generation communication

systems demanding ultra-high availability, security, and verifiable trust. It synthesizes three core pillars into a coherent

framework. First, AI and machine learning provide predictive, adaptive resilience through real-time anomaly detection and

automated response. Second, blockchain technology establishes decentralized trust, offering immutable audit trails and

smart contract-driven policy execution for cryptographically assured actions. Third, a high-availability substrate ensures

the underlying network can support these intelligent operations. A systematic review and thematic meta-analysis of

contemporary literature confirm that the synergistic integration of these technologies creates a transformative "cognitive

resilience loop." This loop enables continuous AI-driven monitoring, blockchain-verified decision-making, and assured, self-

healing actuation. The architecture directly addresses the limitations of static, manual defenses, advancing toward

autonomous, trustworthy, and resilient digital infrastructures for critical applications.
