Saying that many investors were not convinced by cryptocurrencies in their first decade of existence would be an understatement. Originally, author Thomas Jeegers was one of them. He looked into this new virtual money more than once and, each time, decided not to invest. Like many long-term investors, he was looking for fundamentals. Crypto had none — or so he thought. This book details why his perspective on cryptoassets has shifted – and why yours should, too. Recent developments in this field have turned crypto from a speculative financial innovation to a new asset class, one with a new kind of fundamentals that offer real economic value. One that will change finance and investments. One that may be a trigger defining the fourth industrial revolution, the same way steam, electricity, and the Internet were triggers for the first, second, and third industrial revolutions, respectively.

This book explores the fundamentals and applications of Blockchain technology. Readers will learn about the decentralized peer-to-peer network, distributed ledger, and the trust model that defines Blockchain technology. They will also be introduced to the basic components of Blockchain (transaction, block, block header, and the chain), its operations (hashing, verification, validation, and consensus model), underlying algorithms, and essentials of trust (hard fork and soft fork). Private and public Blockchain networks similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum will be introduced, as will concepts of Smart Contracts, Proof of Work and Proof of Stack.

This book discusses the up-and-coming blockchain technology in a structured way from the conceptual, technological, and business perspectives, thereby providing the integrated insight that is essential for truly understanding blockchain applications and their impact. While most people may know about blockchain from Bitcoin and news about its price in the financial markets, blockchain is a technology that increasingly permeates the way in which modern businesses operate. However, its dynamics and functioning remain obscure for most people. This book gives readers the tools to understand the full extent to which blockchain technology is or can be used in business. First, the book focuses on the functioning of blockchain systems, introducing basic concepts such as transactions, consensus mechanisms, and smart contracts, as well as giving a smooth introduction to the basic features of cryptography that underpin blockchain technology, e.g., digital signatures and hashing. Then, the book focuses on specific blockchain platforms (Bitcoin, Ethereum, private blockchain platforms) currently used for the implementation of cryptocurrencies and other blockchain systems.

With the rapidly advancing fields of Data Analytics and Computational Statistics, it’s important to keep up with current trends, methodologies, and applications. This book investigates the role of data mining in computational statistics for Machine Learning. It offers applications that can be used in various domains and examines the role of transformation functions in optimizing problem statements. Data Analytics, Computational Statistics, and Operations Research for Engineers: Methodologies and Applications presents applications of computationally intensive methods, inference techniques, and survival analysis models. It discusses how data mining extracts information and how Machine Learning improves the computational model based on the new information. Numerous programming languages work along with ML involving Python, R, Java, and javascript. Python is the popular choice for many developers because of its Tensor Flow library, which helps to give a comprehensive ecosystem of ML tools.

This book presents state-of-the-art blockchain and AI advances in health care. Healthcare service is increasingly creating the scope for blockchain and AI applications to enter the biomedical and healthcare world. Today, blockchain, AI, ML, and deep learning are affecting every domain. Through its cutting-edge applications, AI and ML are helping transform the healthcare industry for the better. Blockchain is a decentralization communication platform that has the potential to decentralize the way we store data and manage information. Blockchain technology has potential to reduce the role of middleman, one of the most important regulatory actors in our society. Transactions are simultaneously secure and trustworthy due to the use of cryptographic principles. In recent years, blockchain technology has become very trendy and has penetrated different domains, mostly due to the popularity of cryptocurrencies. One field where blockchain technology has tremendous potential is health care, due to the need for a more patient-centric approach in healthcare systems to connect disparate systems and to increase the accuracy of electronic healthcare records (EHRs). In today’s scenario, humankind has entered the domain of the Industrial revolution requirements with advanced tools and techniques. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in the simulation of human intelligence to process, especially in computing systems. The performance of AI has various applications to apply in expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, machine vision, and more.

Blockchain technology provided a buzz-seeking opportunity for all industries to implement improved corporate procedures and trust-building. Still, some industries, such as the banking sector, may view it as a disruptive technology that must be adopted. A transaction ledger's contents can be verified, maintained, and synchronized by community members using blockchain technology. A transaction can never be changed or removed from the blockchain; updates may only be made by participants in the system. Its distributed database cannot be manipulated, disrupted, or hacked in the same manner as conventional, user-controlled access systems and centralized databases. Building Secure Business Models Through Blockchain Technology: Tactics, Methods, Limitations, and Performance studies and explores the status of blockchain technology and, through the latest technology, builds business models to secure the future direction in the field of business. This book discusses the tactics and methods, as well as their limitations and performance. Since we need to classify images, we use a Convolutional Neural Network, which is a common choice for this problem. Tensor Flow library is used to write the code in Python.

In today’s era, there is a need for a system that can automate the process of treatment for the patient if medical facilities are out of reach. Smart healthcare can step in to make the patient more self-dependent. 6G with its features can be seen as the future of smart healthcare with IoT and AI. 6G-Enabled IoT and AI for Smart Healthcare: Challenges, Impact, and Analysis offers the fundamentals, history, reality, and challenges faced in the smart healthcare industry today. It discusses the concepts, tools, and techniques of smart healthcare as well as the analysis used. The book details the role that machine learning-based deep learning and 6G-enabled IoT concepts play in the automation of smart healthcare systems. The book goes on to presents applications of smart healthcare through various real-world examples and includes chapters on security and privacy in the 6G-enabled and IoT environment, as well as research on the future prospects of the smart healthcare industry. A completely AI-driven communication network will be 6G. Using 6G, every component of network transmission would be smarter, enabling it to make decisions on its own when necessary. With 6G, the entire planet will be covered, which includes air, space, as well as the ocean. This is only possible by “intelligent AI” being created from the various communication components.
