Recent rapid development of blockchain has attracted a giant attention by both academia and the industry. Migrating a centralized computing to decentralized computing seems to be a main stream to establish a trust and secure storage and trading environment. However, it is actually too early to make a solid statement about the adoption of blockchain technology, since there are many unsolved problems in the field. The success of blockchain technique in Bitcoin does not mean the technique can be successfully deployed in all domains. This international conference aims to gather most updated papers in the field of blockchain and provides a platform for both scholars and practitioners.
The scope of SmartBlock conference involves a broad range related to blockchain realms, from privacy-preserving solutions to designing advanced blockchain mechanism, from empirical studies to practical manuuals. All high quality updated work is highly welcomed.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Blockchain theory
- Smart computing and communication
- AI and smart computing applications
- Legal, ethical and societal aspects of blockchain
- Blockchain application in social networking
- Smart contract and distributed ledger
