*** CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS ***
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology Use Cases:
Applications and Lessons Learned
(published by Springer)
Within a short couple of years, Blockchain and other trustless
systems have turned from being relatively obscure technologies,
which were only known to a small community of computer scientists
and cryptologists, into mainstream phenomena that are seen as
powerful game changers for many industries. Given the manifold
potential applications of Blockchain to substitute or remove
intermediaries, it does not come as a surprise that the
expectations from industry are high or even exaggerated.
Simultaneously, various applied academic communities have taken up
the subject and actively research either the technology or its
implications. Given that the dust of the initial hype has settled,
it is now time to explore how sustainable value can be created
with the use of Blockchain and related technologies implementing,
exploring and evaluating real use cases.
For this call for papers, we therefore invite chapters that
describe the application of Blockchain and related technologies in
real-world use cases. 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. It is
the goal of this book to provide a broad collection of
applications, experiences and lessons learned pertaining to a wide
variety of industries and application areas, including, but not
limited to, financial markets, energy, tourism, SCM, IoT, law and
compliance.
*** Structure ***
We are looking for chapters that thoroughly discuss use cases of
Blockchain and related technologies. Each chapter needs to clearly
specify how the technology was applied and what exactly the
outcome was. Ideally, the authors comment on how those
technologies helped to improve performance in comparison to
traditional systems. A critical position should be taken and the
advantages and disadvantages of Blockchain use should be
discussed. We highly appreciated the discussion of failures as
long as the case is well-documented. More specifically, the
requirements for acceptance are:
• Case study is relevant to the book’s theme
• Objectives are clear and well-described
• Chapter will draw an audience
• Chapter is well organized and flows logically
• Methodology is appropriate
• Evidence supports authors’ arguments
*** Formatting ***
All final submissions must have 6,000-9,000 words and follow the
template provided by the publisher. The references must be
formatted following APA style. Submissions that do not use this
template or deviate from the formatting requirements will be
rejected without review.
*** Important Dates ***
• Submission of an Extended Abstract (~ 1,000 words): before
October 31, 2018
• Submission of the Chapter: before May 31, 2019
*** Procedure ***
Interested authors can learn more, or submit a paper, by
contacting the editors directly.
