Blockchain Technology and Applications
A Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that saves
transactions on thousands of computers around the globe.
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. The
high importance of blockchain has attracted the attention of
organizations in different sectors and has resulted in the
development of innovative organizations and new job positions.
Currently, few if any could predict the full extent of the
disruptive innovations that would emerge fostered by Blockchain
technology. This track seeks to serve as an annual venue that will
enable the discussion on the trends, challenges and developments
of Blockchain technology. In doing so, it aims to speed up the
study and accelerate the adoption of this technology. Topics of
interest include the following but are not limited to:
• Blockchain case studies
• Blockchain infrastructure
• Blockchain and banking
• Blockchain and peer-to-peer transfers
• Blockchain and digital currencies
• Blockchain and Internet of Things
• Blockchain and markets
• Blockchain and marketplaces
• Blockchain and healthcare
• Blockchain applications
• Blockchain and e-government
• Blockchain and Banking sector
• Blockchain interoperability and scalability
• Blockchain and regulatory frameworks
