About the Book
Blockchain is a public ledger where transactions are nearly impossible to amend. A decentralized database where business is transparent without any involvement of the middleman. The first use of blockchain technology was the digital currency (bitcoin). However, other potential uses of this technology are yet to be explored. It is expected to have an impact on cyber security, internet of things, supply chain management, market prediction, governance, information management, financial transactions and more application domains. Till today, blockchain has redesigned the way people deal with their money due to its effectiveness, especially in terms of security. Therefore, from the data analytics point of view, investigation of blockchain technology in a wide range of applications domain is crucial. In this context, we plan to edit a book on Blochain for Data Analytics, which will provide a broader picture on the concepts, techniques, applications, and open research directions in this area. In addition, the proposed publication will serve as a single source of reference for acquiring the knowledge on this emerging technology.
Topics of interest are but not limited to:
- Introduction to Blockchain
- Blockchain for Data Analytics
- Big Data Challenges
- Securing Cyber Space using Blockchain
- Blockchain in Internet of Things
- Blockchain and Industry 4.0
- Blockchain in Cyber Physical Systems/Smart Grid
- Recent Tools for Blockchain
- Applications in Different Domain
- Futuristic Applications and Challenges
