Contact tracing has widely been adopted to control the spread of Coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19). It enables identify, assess, and manage people who have exposed COVID-19, thereby preventing from its further transmission. Today's most contact approaches, tools, solutions fall short in providing decentralized, transparent, traceable, immutable, auditable, secure, trustworthy features. In this paper, we propose a decentralized blockchain-based COVID-19 solution. can greatly suffice need for speedy response pandemic. We leverage immutable tamper-proof features blockchain enforce trust, accountability, transparency. Trusted registered oracles are used bridge gap between on-chain off-chain data. With no third parties involved or centralized servers, users' medical information is not prone invasion, hacking, abuse. Each user using their digital passports. To respect privacy users, locations updated with time delay 20 minutes. Using Ethereum smart contracts, transactions executed emitted events logs. present details implemented algorithms testing analysis. evaluate proposed approach security, cost, parameters show effectiveness. The contracts code publicly made available on GitHub.

Smart cities have the potential to overcome environmental problems caused by improper waste disposal improve human health, protect aquatic ecosystem, and reduce air pollution. However, today's systems, approaches, technologies leveraged for management are manual centralized that make them vulnerable manipulation single point of failure problem. Also, a large portion existing systems within smart fall short in providing operational transparency, traceability, audit, security, trusted data provenance features. In this paper, we explore key role blockchain technology managing as it can offer immutability, audit features decentralized, trusted, secure manner. We discuss opportunities brought about various use cases application scenarios, including real-time tracing tracking waste, reliable channelization compliance with treatment laws, efficient resources management, protection documentation, fleet management. introduce framework leverages blockchain-based contracts automate services terms cities. compare solutions based on important parameters. Furthermore, present insightful discussions several ongoing research projects case studies highlight practicability Finally, open challenges act future directions.

Because a fast vaccination rollout against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is critical to restore daily life and avoid virus mutations, it tempting have relaxed vaccination-administration management system. However, robust system can support the enforcement of preventive measures, in turn, reduce incidence deaths. Here, we model trustable reliable based on blockchain for vaccine distribution by extending Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovery (SEIR) model. The includes prevention measures such as mask-wearing, social distance, rate, efficiency. It also considers negative behavior, violations distance attempts using illegitimate proofs. By evaluating model, show that proposed up 2.5 million cases half deaths most demanding scenarios.

Deep learning has gained huge traction in recent years because of its potential to make informed decisions. A large portion today's deep systems are based on centralized servers and fall short providing operational transparency, traceability, reliability, security, trusted data provenance features. Also, training models by utilizing is vulnerable the single point failure problem. In this paper, we explore importance integrating blockchain technology with learning. We review existing literature focused integration classify categorize devising a thematic taxonomy seven parameters; namely, type, models, specific consensus protocols, application area, services, types, deployment goals. provide insightful discussions state-of-the-art blockchain-based frameworks highlighting their strengths weaknesses. Furthermore, compare four parameters such as protocol, method, dataset. Finally, present important research challenges which need be addressed develop highly efficient, robust, secure frameworks.
