Blockchain and Emerging Technologies

The specific focal point of this collection will be on the use of blockchain technology in any space of IoT-cloud. Blockchain combines several technologies to give a trusted, tamper-resistant record of transactions by different parties without a focal authority like a bank. Blockchain has grown in wide popularity in this day and age and a ton of exploration has recently started with respect to this distributed technology. Blockchain can be utilized for a variety of medical application, non-financial and financial applications, including supply chain management, cryptocurrency, and legal records. IoT-cloud offer cost-efficient, on-request hyperscale so organizations can leverage the capability of IoT without building the basic foundation and administrations from scratch. IoT-cloud offer a productive, flexible, and versatile model for delivering the services and infrastructure required to power IoT gadgets and applications for organizations with limited assets. For the unique call, we are looking for articles that emphasis on the convergence of blockchain, IoT-cloud and these approaches. In addition, articles that discuss any of the accompanying points with regards to pertinent applicable fields are gladly received:
Furthermore, we invite submissions along this theme according to various disciplinary viewpoints including on the topics:
 Privacy in the digital age
 Blockchain analytics
 Modelling and forecasting
 Anonymity/Pseudonymity in cryptocurrency environments
 Interdisciplinary studies of blockchain-based systems
 Big Data
 Security analysis
 Resource allocation and security in 6G/IoT
 Cloud-based IoT infrastructure
 Decentralized blockchain/cloud
 Artificial Intelligence in IoT-Cloud
 Machine learning from blockchain data

This list is illustrative, not comprehensive. We also encourage submission on other topics and along the general theme.
Papers can be either theoretical or empirical: in both cases, they must contain original content that advances the state of the art of blockchain and IoT-cloud computing. We also welcome survey papers that compare existing approaches or systematize the knowledge about a given topic.

Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
