This brief presents emerging and promising communication methods for network reliability via delay tolerant networks (DTNs). Different from traditional networks, DTNs possess unique features, such as long latency and unstable network topology. As a result, DTNs can be widely applied to critical applications, such as space communications, disaster rescue, and battlefield communications. The brief provides a complete investigation of DTNs and their current applications, from an overview to the latest development in the area. The core issue of data forward in DTNs is tackled, including the importance of social characteristics, which is an essential feature if the mobile devices are used for human communication. Security and privacy issues in DTNs are discussed, and future work is also discussed.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks, ADHOCNETS 2021, held in December 2021, and the 16th International Conference on Tools for Design, Implementation and Verification of Emerging Information Technologies, TRIDENTCOM 2021, held in November 2021. Both conferences were held virtually due to COVID 19 pandemic. The 15 full papers of ADHOCNETS 2021 were selected from 29 submissions and cover a variety of network paradigms including ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (Vanets), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The 18 full papers were selected from 47 submissions and deal the emerging technologies such as Industry 4.0, blockchain, deep learning, cloud/edge/fog computing, cyber physical systems, cybersecurity and computer communications.

The general consensus is that BlockChain is the next disruptive technology, and Ethereum is the flagship product of BlockChain 2.0. However, coding and implementing business logic in a decentralized and transparent environment is fundamentally different from traditional programming and is emerging as a major challenge for developers. This book introduces readers to the Solidity language from scratch, together with case studies and examples. It also covers advanced topics and explains the working mechanism of smart contracts in depth. Further, it includes relevant examples that shed new light on the forefront of Solidity programming. In short, it equips readers with essential practical skills, allowing them to quickly catch up and start using Solidity programming. To gain the most from the book, readers should have already learned at least one object-oriented programming language
