Talk Title: Empowering Socio-Technical communities using IoT and Blockchain, Technologies
Abstract: Big data, WSN, and IoT technologies have been proposed for timely gathering and analysing information (i.e., data, events) streams. Similarly, Blockchain technologies can help to build trust, reduce costs, and accelerate transactions processing. Furthermore, decentralization together with peer-to-peer and smart contracts principles, the main core of Blockchain technology, can eliminate single points of failure while increasing the autonomy in handling IoT applications. In this talk, we shed more light on the potential of these technologies for continuous and real-time data monitoring and processing in different real-case applications (e.g, Healthcare and water/energy sharing).
