The Role of Blockchain in Disaster Management
Author: Ayan Kumar Das
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0443134731
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Humans and other living organisms are affected by natural as well as man-made disasters. Most recently, the Covid19 pandemic caused a worldwide healthcare disaster resulting in unprecedented changes in the global economy, the global healthcare system, as well as professional and personal life. The process of recovering from such disasters incurs high costs and time due to the lack of coordination between various relief teams and the inefficient distribution of relief materials such as food, water, and medicine. The prediction or early detection of disasters as well as the prevention of relief fund mismanagement are major concerns for researchers. The Role of Blockchain in Disaster Management explores the latest research in the architecture and implementation of existing blockchain-based IoT frameworks for the detection and prevention of disasters as well as the management of relative supply chains, to protect against mismanagement of essential materials. The distributed nature of Blockchain helps to protect data from internal or external attacks, especially in disaster areas or times of crisis when database systems become overloaded and vulnerable to unauthorized access, manipulation, and disruption of critical services. This book can be used as a reference by graduate students, researchers, professors, and professionals in the fields of computer science, software design, and disaster management. - Presents the design of blockchain-based frameworks for disaster management and their performance evaluation to help compare proposed frameworks - Introduces applications of machine learning techniques to make disaster management systems more intelligent and enable more accurate data analysis/prediction - Addresses data security issues as key examples that can be prevented through the application of blockchain technology

Information For Efficient Decision Making: Big Data, Blockchain And Relevance
Author: Kashi R Balachandran
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9811220484
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 715
Book Description
Can there be reliable information that is also relevant to decision making? Information for Efficient Decision Making: Big Data, Blockchain and Relevance focuses on the consolidation of information to facilitate making decisions in firms, in order to make their operations efficient to reduce their costs and consequently, increase their profitability. The advent of blockchain has generated great interest as an alternative to centralized organizations, where the data is gathered through a centralized ledger keeping of activities of the firm. The decentralized ledger keeping is one of the main features of blockchain that has given rise to many issues of technology, development, implementation, privacy, acceptance, evaluation and so on. Blockchain concept is a follow-up to big data environment facilitated by enormous progress in computer hardware, storage capacities and technological prowess. This has resulted in the rapid acquiring of data not considered possible earlier. With shrewd modeling analytics and algorithms, the applications have grown to significant levels. This handbook discusses the progress in data collection, pros and cons of collecting information on decentralized publicly available ledgers and several applications.
