Journal: MDPI Smart Cities
Topic: Blockchain/DLT: Opportunities, Challenges and Solutions for
Smart
Cities
Dear Colleagues,
Blockchain and other trustless systems have turned into mainstream
phenomena that are seen as powerful game-changers for many
industries.
The characteristics of blockchain and DLTs (distributed ledger
technologies), such as immutability, security, and
programmability,
offer numerous opportunities for creating solutions that enable
and
foster the development of smart cities. Examples include, but are
not
limited to, the application of smart contracts to facilitate
transactions, the creation of novel services and applications, the
deployment of innovative security and privacy solutions, as well
as the
reorganization of the public sector (e.g., governmental spending
transparency).
For this Special Issue, we invite papers that describe and explore
the
application of blockchain and related technologies in smart
cities.
Furthermore, we are interested in empirical research that explains
the
implications of blockchain in this context. We will publish papers
that
clearly outline how those technologies have been applied; what the
rationale for their application was and, finally, what the outcome
was.
