*BCAT 2025 CFP:*
A blockchain is a distributed ledger for recording transactions and/or data
in a meaningful order, maintained by many connected nodes without a trusted
central authority. Blockchain has a great potential to create new
foundations for most distributed systems by efficiently establishing trust
among nodes, especially in emerging networks. Such a fundamental technology
to enable decentralization play an important role in a wide spectrum of
topics such as Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), edge
computing, cloud computing, fog, mobile computing, social networking,
wireless communication, vehicular network, and even more other fields.
At the same time, there is a lack of fundamental study on the limitation of
blockchain such as scalability, security, privacy, efficiency, availability
and dependability. Hence, the development and deployment of
blockchain-based systems and applications will likely exhibit new
requirements and complicated challenges, which brings more open issues and
exciting directions for research communities. The aim of BCAT is to bring
together researchers and practitioners working in cloud computing,
distributed systems, cryptography, security, and networking, from academia
and industry, who are interested in the applications and theory of
blockchains and related protocols. Researchers are encouraged to submit
original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not
limited to:
- Theories of blockchain and distributed ledger technology
- Distributed data store for blockchain
- Distributed transaction for blockchain
- Blockchain in cloud computing
- Blockchain in mobile and edge computing
- Blockchain in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
- Blockchain and Financial Networks
- Blockchain in vehicular network
- Blockchain in the Internet of things (IoT)
- Blockchain Systems for Cyber Security
- Blockchain in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)
- Blockchain in social networking
*Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings*
Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11"
two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 6 pages
(including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must
present original unpublished research that is not currently under review
for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines
may be rejected without review. Also submissions received after the due
date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not
be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further
information or clarification. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least
three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the ICSC Proceeding, and be
published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and
be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion.
*Important Dates:*
- *Paper submission deadline: March 23rd 2025 (Firm and Final)*
- Notification of acceptance: April 7th, 2025
- Camera-ready Submission: April 21st, 2025
