The proposed book will be targeted towards a broad audience, including academics, researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and students interested in the intersection of blockchain technology, smart cities, and digital assets
• For academics: The book mentions being a good resource for students (BS & MS) in various fields to understand tokenization. This applies particularly to those in computer science, information systems, bioinformatics, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.
• For professionals: The second half targets professionals like urban planners, technologists, and policymakers. It dives into specific applications of NFTs in smart cities, which are highly relevant to their fields.
Apart from the academics and professional audiences other categories in the audience can also take benefit from this book.
1. For the laymen (non-scientist)
Technology developers, practitioners, BS and MS students of different fields including computer science, information systems, bioinformatics, electrical, and computer engineering should buy this book to understand how tokenization based on a decentralized framework can be used in their fields.
2. For the user (scientist/expert)
This book describes various tokenization schemes in a decentralized framework specifically the transformative synergy between non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cutting-edge decentralized smart city infrastructure, providing a comprehensive guide for urban planners, technologists, and policymakers to leverage NFTs for novel mechanisms in terms of security and authentication in creating secure, transparent, and citizen-centric smart city ecosystems such as contemporary industry, user interfaces, healthcare, automation, gaming, entertainment, cyber-physical systems for smart cities, etc. In this way, more integrated and, thus, more holistic research on NFTs may contribute significantly to the successful enrichment of the potential scientists' and researchers' knowledge.
