Blockchain and Applications, 5th International Congress


Book Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Congress on Blockchain and Applications 2023, BLOCKCHAIN’23, held in Guimarães, Portugal, in July 2023. Among the scientific community, blockchain and artificial intelligence are a promising combination that will transform the production and manufacturing industry, media, finance, insurance, e-government, etc. Nevertheless, there is no consensus with schemes or best practices that would specify how blockchain and artificial intelligence should be used together. The full papers presented in the main track were carefully reviewed. They contain the latest advances on blockchain and artificial intelligence and on their application domains, exploring innovative ideas, guidelines, theories, models, technologies, and tools and identifying critical issues and challenges that researchers and practitioners must deal with in the future research. The authors would like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Program Committees, the sponsors, and the Organizing Committee of the University of Minho and the University of Salamanca for their hard and highly valuable work.




The Data-Driven Blockchain Ecosystem


Book Description

This book focuses on futuristic approaches and designs for real-time systems and applications, as well as the fundamental concepts of including advanced techniques and tools in models of data-driven blockchain ecosystems. The Data-Driven Blockchain Ecosystem: Fundamentals, Applications, and Emerging Technologies discusses how to implement and manage processes for releasing and delivering blockchain applications. It presents the core of blockchain technology, IoT-based and AI-based blockchain systems, and various manufacturing areas related to Industry 4.0. The book illustrates how to apply design principles to develop and manage blockchain networks, and also covers the role that cloud computing plays in blockchain applications. All major technologies involved in blockchain-embedded applications are included in this book, which makes it useful to engineering students, researchers, academicians, and professionals interested in the core of blockchain technology.

Distributed Computing to Blockchain


Book Description

Distributed Computing to Blockchain: Architecture, Technology, and Applications provides researchers, computer scientists, and data scientists with a comprehensive and applied reference covering the evolution of distributed systems computing into blockchain and associated systems. Divided into three major sections, the book explores the basic topics in the blockchain space extending from distributed systems architecture, distributed ledger, decentralized web to introductory aspects of cryptoeconomics (cryptography and economics) of decentralized applications. The book further explores advanced concepts such as smart contracts; distributed token mining, initial coin offerings; proof of work; public, private, and other blockchains; cryptography; security; and blockchains. The book goes on to review byzantine fault tolerance, distributed ledgers versus blockchains, and blockchain protocols. The final section covers multiple use cases and applications of distributed computing and the future directions for blockchains. Presented as a focused reference handbook describing the evolution of distributed systems, blockchain, and consensus algorithms emphasizing the architectural and functional aspects Integrates the various concepts of cryptography in blockchain and further extends to blockchain forensics Provides insight and detailed Interpretation of algorithms for consensus in blockchains
