*CALL FOR PAPERS - Apologies for cross-postings*
*MCIS 2017 Track: Blockchain Applications*
The 11th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems will be held in Genoa, Italy on 4-5 September 2017
Submission deadline 20 June 2017
The blockchain constitutes the backbone of cryptocurrencies, such as the Bitcoin, and together with smart contracts, they have been attracting the interest of both practitioners and academics. The blockchain itself provides an alternative way for creating and maintaining records in an open, secure and verifiable manner based on the consensus of a network of unknown peers. This track welcomes theoretical perspectives and empirical studies on the nature and application of the blockchain, and the related technologies; cryptocurrencies and smart contracts, regardless of their method of inquiry; empirical (qualitative/quantitative/mixed) studies, conceptual papers and Research in Progress papers are all equally welcome. The theme of the track is purposefully broad and therefore submissions are welcome from all the different Information systems sub-disciplines (e.g., operations management, information systems management, business process engineering) as well as from disciplines that are closely relate to relevant issues (e.g., sociology, finance, philosophy, management, law).
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Ethical Issues and Blockchain Applications - Privacy and Trust - Regulation issues - New markets and market intermediaries - Legal Aspects and Blockchain technology - Innovation, social responsibility and new applications - Applications for the Internet of Things building on the blockchain - Big data, data processing and cryptocurrencies - The role of the miner
