Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Blockchain technology, with its immutability and decentralization features, demonstrates strong influence and transformative power in several key areas, including finance, IoT and logistics, public administration, and healthcare. Meanwhile, edge computing integrates computational power, data storage, and diverse application services. In next-generation internet, edge computing is the complex interweaving of multiple and
varied technologies, including P2P systems, wireless networks, and visualization technologies, collectively crafting a smarter and more efficient digital ecosystem. Notably, the convergence of edge computing and blockchain technology signals groundbreaking advancements in security, privacy protection, and decentralized governance, promising to revolutionize existing network management systems and architectures. In this field of boundless possibilities, we aim to deeply integrate the distributed trust mechanisms of blockchain with the processing capabilities of edge computing. This integration aims not only to achieve a qualitative leap in data security but also to reach unprecedented levels of efficiency and reliability in data processing, collectively driving the creation of a more secure, efficient, and trustworthy future digital world.
Scope:
- Internet of Things security;
- Blockchain;
- Big data;
- Computing security;
- Distributed system;
- Edge artificial intelligence.
