2018 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain (Blockchain 2018)

  
http://cse.stfx.ca/~blockchain2018/index.php

 

Halifax, Canada, July 30-August 03, 2018

 

Introduction

 

As a promising technique to achieve decentralized consensus, blockchain has 
been successfully applied into digital currency - bitcoin for serving as a 
public ledger for transactions. Its secure design for supporting a distributed 
computing system with high  
 Byzantine fault 
tolerance is attracting wide attention all over the world. Blockchain has a 
great potential for event recording, identity management, fault provenance, 
behaviour tracking, and so on, especially in a distributed system without a 
trusted authority or central server. On one hand, blockchain will play an 
important role for secure decentralization in such emerging fields as Internet 
of Things, Cyber Physical Systems, edge computing, social networking, 
crowdsourcing and next generation wireless communications, and even more other 
fields. On the other hand, its advance should be further evolved in terms of 
scalability, privacy, efficiency, flexibility and high dependability.

 

The 2018 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain (Blockchain-2018) will 
provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and 
practitioners to present latest advances and innovations in key theories, 
infrastructure, schemes, and significant applications for the blockchain, as 
well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.

 

Topics

 

The emergence and popularity of blockchain techniques will significantly change 
the way of digital system operation and management. In the meantime, the 
application of blockchain will exhibit a variety of complicated problems and 
new requirements, which brings more open issues and challenges for research 
communities.

IEEE Blockchain-2018 will be held on July 30 – August 03, 2018 in Halifax, 
Canada. The goal of this conference is to promote community-wide discussion 
identifying the advanced applications, technologies and theories for 
blockchain. We seek submissions of papers that invent novel techniques, 
investigate new applications, introduce advanced methodologies, propose 
promising research directions and discuss approaches for unsolved issues.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

Ÿ  Theories of blockchain and its evolution

Ÿ  Smart contract and distributed ledger

Ÿ  Blockchain and Bitcoin security

Ÿ  Distributed consensus and fault tolerance mechanisms 

Ÿ  Blockchain schemes for decentralization 

Ÿ  Security, privacy and trust of blockchain and decentralized schemes

Ÿ  Performance optimization of blockchain and decentralized schemes 

Ÿ  Applications with blockchain technique

Ÿ  Protocols and algorithms based on blockchain

Ÿ  Blockchain based lightweight data structures for IoT data

Ÿ  Blockchain based IoT security solutions

Ÿ  Blockchain in cyber physical systems

Ÿ  Blockchain in social networking

Ÿ  Bolckchain in crowdsourcing and crowdsensing
