Blockchain Technology for Emerging Applications: A Comprehensive Approach

Blockchain Technology for Emerging Applications: A Comprehensive Approach explores recent theories and applications of the execution of blockchain technology. Chapters look at a wide range of application areas, including healthcare, digital physical frameworks, web of-things, smart transportation frameworks, interruption identification frameworks, ballot-casting, architecture, smart urban communities, and digital rights administration. The book addresses the engineering, plan objectives, difficulties, constraints, and potential answers for blockchain-based frameworks.

It also looks at blockchain-based design perspectives of these intelligent architectures for evaluating and interpreting real-world trends. Chapters expand on different models which have shown considerable success in dealing with an extensive range of applications, including their ability to extract complex hidden features and learn efficient representation in unsupervised environments for blockchain security pattern analysis.

• Introduces the basic architecture and taxonomy of blockchain technology
• Surveys the most recent developments and challenges in blockchain-enabled technology for various application domains with fundamental and technical depth
• Investigates how to devise secure and reliable applications and blockchain-enabled decentralized secure solutions using blockchain technology
