This new volume explores a plethora of blockchain-based solutions for
big data and IoT applications, looking at advances in real-world
applications in several sectors, including higher education,
cybersecurity, agriculture, business and management, healthcare and
biomedical science, construction and project management, smart city
development, and others. Chapters explore emerging technology to combat
the ever-increasing threat of security to computer systems and offer new
architectural solutions for problems encountered in data management and
security. The chapters help to provide a high level of understanding of
various blockchain algorithms along with the necessary tools and
techniques. The novel architectural solutions in the deployment of
blockchain presented here are the core of the book.
