Intelligent Distributed Computing XVII: 17th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing, IDC 2024

This book includes the scientific outcome of the 17th Annual International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Systems (IDC2024) which was hosted by the University of Brighton, United Kingdom, 18-19 September 2024.
This book includes all sixteen full papers that were accepted for presentation after a rigorous peer review process by experts in their respective fields. The papers are presented here grouped in five areas of focus, namely distributed systems, cyber security, predictive modelling, blockchain applications, and large language models. They provide a wide range of areas of application that demonstrate the dynamics and constantly evolving nature of distributed systems research.
The authors work in two continents, six countries, and a total of fourteen different institutions and organizations.
The book spans different levels of progress of research, completed projects at institutional level, outcomes of PhD. student work, and results that relate to large transnational projects funded by the European Union and other national and international funders.
The authors hope that the readers of this book of proceedings will find the contents informative and an opportunity to engage with new outcomes of innovative research.
