Special Issue on Blockchain for Industrial Data security
Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Elsevier

Nowadays, data plays a vital role in human society, and the massive demand
for real data in various aspects of our life has led to an information
explosion. Information derived from data mining serves our lives more
effectively and conveniently. Industrial data is considered as a powerful
resource that can influence multi-disciplinary research and government and
business performance. However, while data is providing us with high
productivity, some security issues are existing at the same time.

Moreover, Blockchain has been emerging as a potential technology to disrupt
traditional database systems. Over the past decade, it has found numerous
applications in Industrial IoT, healthcare, supply chains, digital
copyrights management, and so on, and is becoming a hot research area. This
new technology has significantly changed the way data access, storage,
retrieval, and information discovery. It presents many fundamental research
challenges for the management of data in the Blockchain.

This special issue aims to provide a platform to the researchers and
practitioners from both academia as well as industry to meet and share
