During the last few years, the growing interest and popularity in crypto currencies have fostered developments in research and practices in relevant fields. Academics and practitioners, alike, are facing challenges related to the ever increasing required infrastructure for mining crypro-currencies, the operational aspects of exchanges, the regulatory frameworks that are required for the new form of payment instruments without hindering the growth of the new economy and the relation between crypto-currencies and official payment methods.
Nowadays, addressing such challenges becomes essential for developing new services and possibly business models that contain the prospect of restructuring financial systems.
This workshop invites researchers and business experts to share knowledge and competencies for organizational and practical apsects of crypto-currency systems. We expect participants to present research papers, comment on business cases, hold tutorial sessions or demonstrate systems, tools and other related issues needed to: (a) manage crypto-currencies (b) optimize operational aspects of crypto-currency exchanges and (c) assess and make informed decisions related to digital currencies.
