[DMANET] [Extended Deadline] BCCA 2026: The 8th International Conference on Blockchain Computing and Applications, Barcelona, Spain

*The 8th International Conference on Blockchain Computing and Applications (BCCA 2026)* 16-20 November 2026 | Barcelona, Spain *Hybrid Conference* *Technically sponsored by IEEE Spain section* *https://bcca-conference.org/* Blockchain is a revolutionary technology in decentralized systems that enables secure decentralized transaction processing while ensuring data privacy and authenticity. It plays a significant role across several areas, including the Internet of Things, supply chain management, manufacturing, cyber-physical systems, and healthcare systems. Unlike centralized transaction processing solutions, blockchain uses a distributed ledger to record transactions across multiple devices; this prevents data breaches, identity theft, and a range of cyber-related attacks, thereby enhancing data privacy and security. This conference aims to attract the work of both researchers and practitioners in cybersecurity to share and exchange experiences and research in both academia and industry in the field of blockchain. *BCCA 2026 SYMPOSIA* Authors are encouraged to submit their work to one of the following 20 specialized symposiums, each targeting a key research frontier: 1.
