About this Item

Neuware - Digital Twin and Blockchain for Sensor Networks in Smart Cities explores how digital twins and blockchain can be used in the functioning of the smart city. The book is divided into five sections. Section 1 focuses on the fundamental concepts of blockchain and digital twin for sensor networks in the smart cities, while section 2 describes their promising applications for managing the regular operations and services. Sections 3 and 4 deal with their applications for safe and healthy cities, respectively. The last section covers other promising applications and future perspectives of blockchain and digital twin in the urban environment.Big data from wireless sensor networks in the smart city can be integrated to accommodate the exchanging of real-time data between citizens, governments, and organizations. Blockchain technology can provide high security for large communications and transactions between many stakeholders in smart cities. Digital twins provide the use of physical models/wireless sensor networks/historical data of city operation to integrate big information under multi-discipline, multi-physical quantities, multi-scale, and multi-probability conditions.

About this title

Synopsis

Digital twin, blackchain, and wireless sensor networks can work together to improve services in the smart city. Big data derived from wireless sensor networks can be integrated to accommodate the exchange of real-time data between citizens, governments, and organizations. Blockchain can provide high security for large-scale communications and transactions between many stakeholders. Digital twin uses physical models and historical data to integrate big information under multidiscipline, multiphysical quantities, multiscale, and multiprobability conditions.

Digital Twin and Blockchain for Sensor Networks in Smart Cities explores how digital twin and blockchain can be optimized to improve services. This book is divided into three parts. Part 1 focuses on the fundamental concepts of blockchain and digital twin for sensor networks in the smart cities, while Part 2 describes their applications for managing the regular operations and services. Part 3 deals with their applications for safe cities.

• Describes the fundamentals of blockchain and digital twin
• Explores how blockchain and digital twin work with smart sensor networks
• Explains how intelligent sensor networks can be used in the smart and safe cities
• Discusses how blockchain and digital twin can be used to manage services in smart cities
