Book synopsis

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 such as Consensus Algorithms, Distributed Ledgers, DApps, Byzantine Fault Tolerance, Distributed Databases and Operating Systems. The book is divided into three major sections. The first section covers the evolution of Distributed Systems into Blockchain, including key concepts and technologies such as Distributed Systems and their architecture, Distributed Ledger and Decentralized Web, application and properties of Crypto economics, Blockchain Crypto-Analysis for Distributed Systems, followed by DApps architecture. The second section of the book provides information related to Blockchain architecture and security, including Smart contracts, Tokens, Distributed mining, Initial Coin Offerings, Proof of Work, public, private and other Blockchains. The authors then review Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT), Distributed Ledgers vs. Blockchains, and Blockchain protocols. The security issues of Blockchain and how it aims to resolve trust problems is also covered, along with Consensus Algorithms used in Blockchain. The third section of the book explores Distributed Operating Systems and Architecture analysis models for Blockchains with various application domain implementations, including relevant case studies. The authors conclude by taking a look at legal and regulatory issues in Blockchain applications, along with standards and interfaces in Blockchains. Throughout the book, the presentation of key concepts is supported by real-world tools, algorithms, programming languages and technology to support implementation of distributed ledger and Blockchain in a variety of fields, including healthcare, finance, legal, and business applications. Healthcare applications include keeping track of those who have had antibody tests for COVID-19 and who could be immune to the virus, as well as speeding up procurement of medical equipment, as well as various applications to speed payment and reimbursement of health insurance claims. Provides readers with in-depth understanding of how to develop Blockchain systems, architecture, and applications in a variety of fields Includes the most complete platform for understanding the Computer Science and Data Science behind Blockchain and related technologies such as Distributed Systems, Distributed Ledgers, Consensus Algorithms, DApps, Distributed Ledgers, Decentralized Web, and more Presents techniques for efficient and secure development of Blockchains in a variety of domains, such as healthcare, finance, legal, and business applications Provides readers with complete example datasets associated with the methods and algorithms developed in the book
