BLOCKCHAIN CASES AND INNOVATIONS minitrack
Organizational Systems and Technology track
2020 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-53)
January 7-10, 2020, Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii, USA
MINITRACK DESCRIPTION:
Blockchain, the technology underlying the infamous Bitcoin
cryptocurrency, has been receiving considerable attention in recent
years, as new use cases in the public and private sector are identified.
What started as a mechanism to avoid the double spending problem with
digital money is being experimented in scenarios where a trusted third
party (e.g. a notary or a bank) was normally required. Using this
technology, transactions are securely registered in a ledger distributed
across a network of peers that validate the entries using a consensus
mechanism. New records are cryptographically linked to existing ones,
rendering them virtually immutable. The resulting auditability and
transparency has been leveraged in innovative approaches to land
registries, to stop the spread of conflict diamonds, to fight the
counterfeiting of medication, and, generally, to make supply chains less
opaque.
Additionally, Blockchains can also store and enforce smart contracts –
pieces of code that are executed automatically once predetermined
conditions are met – further reducing uncertainty and promoting
confidence among stakeholders that would not normally trust each other.
Nevertheless, we are still in the early days of Blockchain adoption,
compared by some to the introduction of the world wide web itself. Then,
as now, few if any could predict the full extent of the disruptive
innovations that would emerge fostered by the new technology.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Blockchain case studies, applications, and implementations
- Blockchain and privacy, security, and identity
- Blockchain and digital transformation
- The social and organizational impact of blockchain
- Barriers and enablers in blockchain adoption
- Blockchain and business model innovation
- Regulatory frameworks for Blockchain
- Governance and Blockchain
- Verticals using Blockchain (financial, healthcare, energy,
transportation, others)
- Blockchain in e-government and public administration
- Blockchain and the Internet-of-Things
- Blockchain-driven marketplaces
- Uses of smart contracts
- Technology and infrastructure issues in Blockchain
