Big data from wireless sensor networks in the smart city can be integrated to accommodate the exchanging of real-time data between citizens, governments, and organisations. Blockchain technology can provide high security for large communications and transactions between many stakeholders in smart cities. Digital twins provide the use of physical models/wireless sensor networks/historical data of city operation to integrate big information under multi-discipline, multi-physical quantities, multi-scale, and multi-probability conditions.Digital Twin and Blockchain for Sensor Networks in Smart Cities explores how digital twins and blockchain can be used in the functioning of the smart city. The book is divided into five sections. Section 1 focuses on the fundamental concepts of blockchain and digital twin for sensor networks in the smart cities, while section 2 describes their promising applications for managing the regular operations and services. Sections 3 and 4 deal with their applications for safe and healthy cities, respectively.

Modern Assembly Language Programming with the ARM Processor, Second Edition is a tutorial-based book on assembly language programming using the ARM processor. It presents the concepts of assembly language programming in different ways, slowly building from simple examples towards complex programming on bare-metal embedded systems. The ARM processor was chosen as it has fewer instructions and irregular addressing rules to learn than most other architectures, allowing more time to spend on teaching assembly language programming concepts and good programming practice.Careful consideration is given to topics that students struggle to grasp, such as registers vs. memory and the relationship between pointers and addresses, recursion, and non-integral binary mathematics. A whole chapter is dedicated to structured programming principles. Concepts are illustrated and reinforced with many tested and debugged assembly and C source listings. The book also covers advanced topics such as fixed- and floating-point mathematics, optimization, and the ARM VFP and NEONTM extensions.
