Computational Intelligence and Blockchain in Complex Systems: System Security and Interdisciplinary Applications provides readers with a guide to understanding the dynamics of AI, machine learning, and computational intelligence in blockchain, and how these rapidly developing technologies are revolutionizing a variety of interdisciplinary research fields and applications. This book examines the role of computational intelligence and machine learning in the development of algorithms to deploy blockchain technology across a number of applications, including healthcare, insurance, smart grid, smart contracts, digital currency, precision agriculture, and supply chain. The authors cover the unique and developing intersection between cyber security and blockchain in modern networks, as well as in-depth studies on cybersecurity challenges and multidisciplinary methods in modern blockchain networks. Readers will find mathematical equations throughout the book as part of the underlying concepts and foundational methods, especially the complex algorithms involved in blockchain security aspects for hashing, coding, and decoding. This book also provides readers with the most in-depth technical guide to the intersection of computational intelligence and blockchain, two of the most important technologies for the development of next-generation complex systems
Prof. Dr. Fadi Al-Turjman received his Ph.D. in computer science from Queen’s University, Canada, in 2011. He is the “advisor to the chairman of the board of trustees on AI and informatics” at Near East University (NEU), Turkey, and the founding dean for AI and Informatics faculty in the same university.
