Semantic Annotation of Edge/Fog Services With Blockchain Integration

The semantic annotation of edge and fog computing services is increasingly vital for enhancing discovery and automation in decentralized environments. As these architectures become more complex and dynamic, integrating blockchain technology offers a solution to ensure secure management of service metadata. This integration not only enhances trust in service descriptions but also supports decentralized governance and access control. By using semantic technologies alongside blockchain, this approach creates a more intelligent and resilient ecosystem for edge/fog service provisioning. Semantic Annotation of Edge/Fog Services With Blockchain Integration explores the use of semantic technologies to help annotate edge/fog computing. This book offers a scalable and secure method for managing heterogeneous edge/fog services. Covering topics such as semantic annotation, blockchain, and file storage systems, this book is an excellent resource for researchers and practitioners in edge computing, semantic web, blockchain technology, and distributed systems, as well as developers building intelligent and secure next-generation IoT ecosystems.
