Electronics and Communications Technology
A digital twin, in simple words, is a virtual model such that it accurately reflects an object or data. The exponential growth in the usage of blockchain, along with the amalgamation of AI and big data, have exploited the potential of the data generated from current industrial practices, giving rise to the digital twin model that can benefit from blockchain technology. This new book, Blockchain-Based Digital Twins: Research Trends and Challenges, addresses the next-generation technology to actualize secure systems, networks, and environments.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
