Seok-Won Lee (editor) - Blockchain Technology for IoT Applications (Blockchain Technologies)

This book series aims to provide details of blockchain implementation in technology and interdisciplinary fields such as Medical Science, Applied Mathematics, Environmental Science, Business Management, and Computer Science. It covers an in-depth knowledge of blockchain technology for advance and emerging future technologies. It focuses on the Magnitude: scope, scale & frequency, Risk: security, reliability trust, and accuracy, Time: latency & timelines, utilization and implementation details of blockchain technologies. While Bitcoin and cryptocurrency might have been the first widely known uses of blockchain technology, but today, it has far many applications. In fact, blockchain is revolutionizing almost every industry. Blockchain has emerged as a disruptive technology, which has not only laid the foundation for all crypto-currencies, but also provides beneficial solutions in other fields of technologies. The features of blockchain technology include decentralized and distributed secure ledgers, recording transactions across a peer-to-peer network, creating the potential to remove unintended errors by providing transparency as well as accountability. This could affect not only the finance technology (crypto-currencies) sector, but also other fields such as:

Crypto-economics Blockchain

Enterprise Blockchain

Blockchain Travel Industry

Embedded Privacy Blockchain

Blockchain Industry 4.0

Blockchain Smart Cities,

Blockchain Future technologies,

Blockchain Fake news Detection,

Blockchain Technology and Its Future Applications

Implications of Blockchain technology

Blockchain Privacy

Blockchain Mining and Use cases

Blockchain Network Applications

Blockchain Smart Contract

Blockchain Architecture

Blockchain Business Models

Blockchain Consensus

Bitcoin and Crypto currencies, and related fields

The initiatives in which the technology is used to distribute and trace the communication start point, provide and manage privacy, and create trustworthy environment, are just a few examples of the utility of blockchain technology, which also highlight the risks, such as privacy protection. Opinion on the utility of blockchain technology has a mixed conception. Some are enthusiastic; others believe that it is merely hyped. Blockchain has also entered the sphere of humanitarian and development aids e.g. supply chain management, digital identity, smart contracts and many more. This book series provides clear concepts and applications of Blockchain technology and invites experts from research centers, academia, industry and government to contribute to it.

The blockchain technology is a distributed database for storing immutable growing records of transactions grouped into blocks, which are secured by cryptography, where each block is connected to other blocks, holding the hash of the previous block in the chain.

The blockchain technology is potentially an extremely disruptive technology that has the capability of reshaping all facets of society and its processes. It has revolutionized the means by which we communicate and exchange information by eliminating third-party providers and provisioning data security and integrity. Based on prospective capacities, the Blockchain revolution has been distributed into three classes: Blockchain 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. This book focuses on Blockchain 3.0 (Blockchain Applications), especially projecting Internet of Things (IoT) applications in the fields of requirements engineering (RE), decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), supply chain management, artificial intelligence (AI), education, data management and data mining, smart agriculture, and health care.

This book focuses on projecting Blockchain and IoT techniques from a few perspectives, which are models, architectures, network models, review, scenarios, use cases, requirements modelling approaches, and data management.

The main contents of this book are derived from the most advanced technical achievements or discoveries in the areas such as the RE model for Blockchain-enabled IoT, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) for robot and IoT data exchanges, Hyperledger-based blockchain architecture for IoT and supply chain management services, framework to acquire a business process model, Blockchain IoT (BIoT)-based smart agriculture model, and layered architecture for a Blockchain-based personal information management system (PIMS).
