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. Divided into three major sections; the book explores the basic topics in the blockchain space extending from distributed systems architecture; distributed ledger; decentralized web to introductory aspects of cryptoeconomics (cryptography and economics) of decentralized applications.
The book further explores advanced concepts such as smart contracts; distributed token mining; initial coin offerings; proof of work; public; private; and other blockchains; cryptography; security; and blockchains. The book goes on to review byzantine fault tolerance; distributed ledgers versus blockchains; and blockchain protocols. The final section covers multiple use cases and applications of distributed computing and the future directions for blockchains.
