Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of distributed computing and blockchain technologies has transformed various sectors by enabling decentralized systems to enhance transparency, security, and efficiency. Distributed computing refers to a model in which computing resources are spread across multiple locations, allowing for collaborative processing and data sharing. Blockchain, as a specific implementation of distributed ledger technology, offers a secure method for recording transactions and ensuring data integrity.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in distributed computing and blockchain technologies, focusing on their integration, applications, and implications for various domains. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that address the latest theoretical developments, practical implementations, and challenges in these fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel architectures and algorithms for distributed computing.
- Blockchain frameworks and their applications in real-world scenarios.
- Scalability and performance optimization in distributed systems.
- Security and privacy challenges in distributed computing and blockchain.
- Interoperability between different blockchain platforms.
- The use cases of blockchain in sectors such as finance, healthcare, supply chain, and IoT.
- The role of smart contracts in distributed applications.
- Governance and regulatory aspects of distributed and blockchain technologies.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share insights, foster collaboration, and advance their understanding of how distributed computing and blockchain can solve complex problems in an increasingly interconnected world.
