Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in decentralized architectures and blockchain technology for building resilient and trustworthy systems, covering a broad spectrum from theoretical foundations to practical applications. As digital transformation deepens, traditional centralized systems face numerous challenges, including single points of failure, security threats, and scalability issues. Decentralized architectures and blockchain technology offer innovative solutions to these problems, with the potential to revolutionize how we design and implement reliable, secure, and efficient systems. The Special Issue will bring together pioneering research from academia and industry, concentrating on key areas such as theoretical foundations of decentralized systems, blockchain applications in physical infrastructure, integration with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, novel economic and social models and incentive mechanisms, security and privacy enhancements, scalability solutions, and real-world applications in various domains including but not limited to telecommunications, energy grids, smart cities, IoT, societies, and supply chains.
